The Progressive Movement Is Finished

The Progressive movement has taken various forms over the past 60 years but it was always rooted in revolution. “Revolution against what?” you might ask. To paraphrase the great Thomas Sowell, it is a revolution against everything that works and in favor of what sounds good today. Open borders, transgenderism, “renewable” energy, white supremacy—these are just a sampling of the radicalism on full display that has proven to be an abject failure among the U.S. population.

It failed because it was all based on lies. When your entire platform is centered around lies, eventually people become wise to it. We are at that moment.

Don't bet on it. We have been "at that moment" before -- in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s, at the fall of the Berlin Wall, at the collapse of Venezuela, not to mention six decades of Cuba under the Castros. Marxism never self-corrects or acknowledges its fatal contradictions; it merely assigns the blame to supposed compromises made and comes back in more strident forms.
