If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

The title of the group is different, the amount of control to which a person is vested is different, but the core beliefs are the same. They are not called monarchists anymore, but deep down, progressives are modern monarchists.

Smith's next paragraph:
It is to fancy himself the only wise and worthy man in the commonwealth, and that his fellow-citizens should accommodate themselves to him and not he to them. It is upon this account, that of all political speculators, sovereign princes, are by far the most dangerous. This arrogance is perfectly familiar to them. They entertain no doubt of the immense superiority of their own judgment. When such imperial and royal reformers, therefore, condescend to contemplate the constitution of the country which is committed to their government, they seldom see any thing so wrong in it as the obstructions which it may sometimes oppose to the execution of their own will.

We have him on audio complaining that the constitution gets in his way. Right here. The Warren Court did not break free, King Barry I wants to break free of these constraints. They get in the way of the execution of his will.

I like the idea of making their history widely known. It doesn’t have to be rewritten...unless you’re one of them.

Put me on your ping list, please.

Adam Smith is certainly worth quoting.

“........They are not called monarchists anymore, but deep down, progressives are modern monarchists.”

Precisely. It’s one of the premises I’ve been putting forth here at FR for years when I say they haven’t a clue about individualism, they don’t understand freedom, they only understand Monarchy, Matriarchy, Dictatorship, Mother. The manner I write it is as a joke, but I’m quite serious. To a leftist leadership is being told what to think, what to do, and reaping rewards for doing as they are told.
