The true "progressive" agenda.

Progressivism is an invention of Fabian Socialists, and therefore seek to hide their true agenda (totalitarian enslavement or reduction of the human population) behind whatever terminology seems most popular, even claiming to be in favor of “freedom” and “liberty” (social, economic, religious, or what have you).

Political progressives are inherently Global Socialists or International Communists at heart, once you strip away the deceptive rhetoric and look at their actual policy prescriptions. They are only “anti-fascist” in that National Socialism does not have grand enough scope for their dreams of subjugating the entire human race (and liquidating that portion that will not submit, generally estimated at 90% of more of the existing population). As Fabian Socialists, Progressives are committed to a gradual process in which society is modified incrementally to accept totalitarian control.^[1]

Westerners like to flirt with trendy politics and love soothing language of "rights," "equality," "freedom," "compassion," and "justice." These benign goals are all opposed by "right wingers," "tea baggers, "corporations," "fascists," "conservatives," "fundamentalist Christians," "militias," "gun nuts," "corporations," "racists," "homophobes," "islamaphobes," "vets," "bigots," "birthers," and people who won't eat their vegetables. Which airy fairy pantheon of evil the press and low-information voters (i.e., morons) lap up like spilled Jack Daniels on the kitchen floor.

To this massive tra la la contingent, the American political system is a benign, self-healing constitutional republic that never ceases to serve up leaders on the order of Mary Poppins, Andy Griffith, Harry Potter, Gidget, and Inspector Clouseau. They never see the Barack Obamas, the Van Joneses, the Valerie Jarretts, the Cynthia McKinneys, the Nancy Pelosis, the Bernie Sanders, the Harry Reids, and the Ted Kennedys who cheer each accretion of power to the total, irresistible, lawless, Constitution-optional unitary federal government as though the excesses of totalitarian political power of the last century never happened.

But they did and the progressives work to recreate the ideal conditions for an encore as they struggle for total arbitrary power.
