Progress vs. progressives - a leap in the dark?

After writing the previous post on the causal relationship between fascism and communism, I began to look for pages on the subject to post my comments. I was surprised to find that none of the pages verbally fighting fascism accepts comments. In other words, the authors of antifascist posts won't listen to what anyone may have to say.

That's sad and insightful at the same time.

It means (anti-fascist) progressives advocate the sort of 'progress' the public won't buy, and they know that from experience, so they prevent the public from responding.

I think genuine progress is not something the public won't buy, it's not something people aren't supposed to comment on. Genuine progress makes life better, easier, happier, more prosperous, etc., i.e. it offers you genuine benefits you would be ill-advised to reject. Consequently, genuine progress can't feel threatened by potential disagreement, it should welcome disagreement as an opportunity to put two and two together. That's because genuine progress makes common sense.

This site advocates genuine progress toward meritocracy where authority is based on merit and the public is not gagged. You are welcome to comment.
