I think the author of the article put it perfectly when he described Progressivism as "...the political philosophy of sociopaths." I also think he hit the X-ring with "It is power-lust masquerading as a social theory, and merciless hatred for mankind dressed up as a new moral code." Gaffer, I've also noted how governments tend to jealously guard their "moral" monopoly on violence.

As the FR Grand Master Orator put it:
Were now in the endgame of Antonio Gramscis and Saul Alinsky's heirs and disciples. These are the murderous great-great-great-great-grandchildren of the French Revolution, cold-eyed with contempt for you and yours; spiral-eyed crazy with hate for what you believe in and possessed of that utterly unappeasable appetite for controlling mankind.
They are Killers Without Conscience.
