EAT THE RICH
Very few progressives will admit that the above is what they are really seeking. To me, "equal money for all" is both practically unsustainable and an unworthy goal, requiring tyranny and totalitarianism to impose. One cannot limit the ability of the faster, stronger and smarter from utilizing their abilities to earn more. One cannot limit the ability of the more determined and more persistent and more dedicated to use those traits to earn more. Well, you can't without destroying liberty and human dignity....

That's because very few progressives hold that view. :roll:

Actually, many do, because it is at the heart of socialist ideology and most progressives sympathize with socialism. To each according to need, from each according to ability. That's why they think a person making $500,000 per year should be taxed at 90%, or thereabouts.

Svartalf seems to think progress means equal money for all. Is he an outlier? You're an outlier, Svartalf! Hardly any progressives think as you do!

If there were as many progressives with the view you allege they have, there'd be a nation or ten in which that view would be implemented right now. As it stands, there are several nations controlled by progressive governments, and none of them aim, overtly or covertly, to achieve the aim you ascribe to them.

Lol. Nice subtle goal post shift. You claim they "are really seeking" socialism, and now you are already backing away from that (without admitting you are wrong, as usual) by claiming they only "sympathize" with it. Well which one is it?

:lol: Where do you get this shit? How about you provide some sort of evidence for these bullshit claims?

If he truly holds that view, then he is a socialist, not a progressive.

Only socialism is progressive. Progressism isn't progressive.

They tend to repeat on me, but the poor are stringy and fit only for stews. I find the middle class a good compromise.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Progressism is the opposite of contragressism.

That's regressive. People who are not as well paid work just as hard as people who are better paid. And, as we know, the capitalist patriarchy rewards certain jobs and professions arbitrarily, while underpaying other professions, particularly those dominated by women, minorities and the poorest among us.

So, if we're going to have a mandatory system of holiday time off, the government should mandate that time off be compensated in accordance with income. That is, a highly paid person should get only a small amount of holiday pay, because they are already highly paid and can afford time off with little to no compensation. Then the poorest among us should be compensated much higher than their actual wages because they need the money more and are less able to take holidays on their meager earnings.

The result of the current system is that the richest among us take holidays with their kids to Disney costing $10,000 a week, while the poorest among us are forced to go to campgrounds and engage in low cost activities (or even just stay home due to lack of funds).

Until we have holiday pay equity, there can be no justice, and hence no peace.

If one took much of this babble seriously one might be forgiven for thinking that the Enlightenment idea of progress was fundamentally regressive.

I will be appropriating some German culture today, I'm making rotkohl, gurkensalat, boiled potatoes, and roasted smoked pork. I will wash it down with Dos Equis. Then, for desert, toasted pound cake with lightly sweetened mascarpone and homemade mango preserves. So a bit of Italian and Mexican appropriation too, and whatever pound cake and mango preserves are. It's Multicultural Appropriation.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
