An appropriate quote that "progressives" (socialists) need to take to heart, although, no doubt, will NEVER listen to:
"We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive." - C. S. Lewis
Liberals/progressives/socialists are truly the LEAST progressive.
“... “We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.” - C. S. Lewis Liberals/progressives/socialists are truly the LEAST progressive.” ~ 69ConvertibleFirebird
Exactly.
“.. The romantic movement of the early 19th century was actually a reactionary and nostalgic yearning for an idyllic past, answering to the sense of loss of community and oneness with the rhythms of nature. This backward looking movement idealized the primitive, and sought to unleash the subjective and irrational passions (countering the rational and objective detachment of science). (It is ironic that leftists call themselves “progressives,” since the movement is ultimately reactionary and regressive to the core, psychologically, ontologically, epistemologically, and spiritually.) “
“Deconstruction throws all objective meaning into question, so no one has to have the disappointing experience of being wrong or denied tenure, no matter how stupid one’s ideas. “
