“The Progressive goal of politics is freedom, now understood as freedom from the limits imposed by nature and necessity.”
Progressives seek freedom from the laws of nature and natures god... They seek the imposable, and as such they have always failed to end up with anything but the tyranny of man.
” They rejected the Founders’ conception of freedom as useful for self-preservation for the sake of the individual pursuit of happiness. For the Progressives, freedom is redefined as the fulfillment of human capacities, which becomes the primary task of the state.”
So they seek to make mankind Gods by disregarding the laws of nature and natures God...
Thats like assuming we can disregard the laws of physics in your vane effort to achieve your goals.
This is a self-diluting and corrupting plan for “progress” that can only lead to failure and tyranny. Those who disregard the laws of Nature and natures God in the pursuit of “progress” only do so at their own ultimate destruction.
This is not the only way to achieve “progress”, this is simply the most foolish way.
And Karl Marx' own Hegel laid the philosophical groundwork for that headlong dive into untruth and futility.
So those that say that progressivism is communism are fundamentally right.
