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.

There goes the spirit of invention. Once there are no more capitalist inventors to steal ideas from, what then?

People who espouse the philosophy that murdered hundreds of millions of people in the last century and enslaved over two billion more are, IMHO, so dangerous that they should be hunted down and exterminated with extreme prejudice as the threat to individual safety and liberty that they are.

What a blowbag. My head hurts from “reading for meaning” just that one paragraph.
If I were forced to choose between reading her whole damn book or performing a lobotomy on myself with a knitting needle... bring me the needle.

One Fifth Grade Classroom in Texas: (Example)
Whole tables of students are rewarded with points, by the correct answer of one student. The points accumulate for spending those points in the “gift shop”.

Used to be a time that such ideologues would be automatically defined as enemy combatants. But now . . .

Like so many other things (e.g., carbon footprints), this is only for the ‘little people’. The libs themselves still want their own individual achievement.

Be sure to take note of what is important enough to be repeated. In fact the common good vs individual good is a repeated theme through most nazi literature.
The following are some of the planks of the National socialist (Nazi) Party of Germany, adopted in Munich on February 24, 1920:
We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living.
The activities of the individual must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all.
Therefore, we demand:
an end to the power of the financial interests .
We demand profit sharing in big business.
We demand a broad extension of care for the aged.
We demand. . . the greatest possible consideration of small business in the purchases of the national, state, and municipal governments.
In order to make possible to every capable and industrious [citizen] the attainment of higher education and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our system of public education. . . .
We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents. . .
.
The government must undertake the improvement of public health by protecting mother and child, by prohibiting child labor by the greatest possible support for all clubs concerned with the physical education of youth.
We combat the . . . materialistic spirit within and without us, and are convinced that a permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of " The Common Good Before the Individual Good ."

What a load of gibberish. You can’t objectivly define a single term she uses. She lays out vague, undefinable premises and still can’t come with a conclusion that could be logically inferred. She sounds like a college freshman five minutes after smoking her first joint.

Abolish public schools.

These idiots sound more and more like Hitler every day. Too bad the republicans are too cowardly to force an honest evaluation of this evil and achieve some justice for this country before it is too late for us all.

You mean getting married is out of the question? To me it sounds more like if a guy wants to catch a disease (possibly nowadays
incurable), he should hang out with leftists . . .

No. If he want meaningless sex without strings (other than STDs...) he should hang out with leftists. This is why a lot of guys hang out with leftists, feminists, etc.; they’re easy.
If he wants to get married, he should go to church. Or find somebody at work (way it happened to me). That way you can find women with whom you can actually live.

Let's say that again:
People who espouse the philosophy that murdered hundreds of millions of people in the last century and enslaved over two billion more are, IMHO, so dangerous that they should be hunted down and exterminated with extreme prejudice as the threat to individual safety and liberty that they are.
Such people aid and abet the monsters I've called killers without conscience. They vote, clap and cheer them into the power they subsequently use to slaughter millions for their own satisfaction.
The greatest guilt today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping one's eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing: "But I didn't mean this!" Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating or condemning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead.
-- Ayn Rand
