"Many of the reactionary forces in today’s political world call themselves “Progressives.” The enemies of a free society (what true “liberals” advocate for) honestly think that are forward looking. They believe that they are bushwacking a bright new future. Sadly they are just advocating tired old collectivism. Many of these folks draw their inspiration from the Marxist critique, haves versus have-nots, or in this country historical “oppressors” versus “the oppressed. (The class thing never worked well for the collectivists in this country so they embraced the latter nuanced critique in the US.) The state is to be the great liberator of the proletariat, or “the oppressed.” The state is to be the great arbiter and benevolent disseminator of wealth, power, and privilege."
