"Progressives" hate Capitalism and blame the "system" because of their own lack of personal responsibility. No society is perfect, so some problems will always exist to a certain degree. At first these progressives get in office and make changes they think will improve things, slowly at first as the ideas are initially reasonable and worth at least trying sometimes. But over time they gain more power and push bigger ideas. Until, one day, it's become a single-party system in their region and they hold practically all of the local power and can do whatever they want. So, what do they do? They implement their Utopian ideas. Then, as their ideas fail to produce the results they should have (in a theoretically perfect society where everyone acts perfectly at all times), rather than accept the growing evidence their ideas don't work in the real world the way they think they will/should, and try something different, they instead choose to blame "the system". They claim their must be some other deep-seated and underlying evil that is preventing their utopia from succeeding. They assume a patriarchy must be to blame. Or they claim white European conquerors are to blame for enacting the greatest conspiracy in human history, somehow. Or, they blame capitalism, since they ironically become opposed to individual freedom and free expression, and incorrectly conflate corporatism and monopolistic/cartel behavior for capitalism. They simply cannot take responsibility for the policies they enacted, and even more so they refuse to accept that the problems they are seeing are the direct result of their own policies. They simply cannot accept that their ideas didn't work, will never work, and so something else must be preventing their ideas from succeeding. And so they throw fits and lash out in anger, violence, tyranny, and go mad as they start seeing everyone around them (even friends and allies) as a conspirator that is trying to cause their ideas harm.

@trexx63 That in no way refutes anything i said. What you are describing is well understood. Partly caused by overbearing leftist business regulations, partly by the gov not enforcing anti-monopolistic laws. What you describe is the result of Corporatism, where big companies pay politicians to pass laws that attack small business and favor big business, as well as approving bailouts. Progressives engage in price fixing and rent controls, and overbearing housing regulations. Such things driving cost of living up , and give big business unfair power. These are all anti-capitalist economic behaviors. They all actively prevent market competition.

@trexx63 This is a discussion not suited to youtube comments, but you're flat out wrong. it is very easy to disprove everything you just said. But it would take hours, and be a conversation best had in-person.
