  1. Except for the whole progressive "I want the government to be my Mommy" thing, progressives, libertarians, and conservatives have more in common than otherwise. I think you get close to 100% agreement when/if progressives would apply their principles in a decentralized way, in local communities that are like-minded. It's because they can't always get that local utopia they want that they try to make the federal government implement their wacky ideas everywhere at one, by force, from one place. I think Russell Brand is starting to get there, finally seeing the dangers and the sheer folly of concentrating all authority for everything into one, central place. All it takes is one Fauci or one Jim Comey to mess up the lives of over 300 million people in one go. If progressive economics and "equity" ideas are great, then bring them about in ONE place, and by your example, become the model for other communities. But no. It's always "Force this on everyone, and let's see what happens." Dumb. Bad policy. Top-down planning and control is why the soviets and Chinese were never really competitive, until we started implementing their ideas in the usa. We've become the top-down, totally corrupt, and totally inept authoritarian state our ancestors rightly held in scorn and derision.

  2. WHO is a prime example of how power is concentrated in a great cause to form a great institution, and the great institution, funded not by its own money, but by the money of others, is always doomed to capture sby the donor class. NGOs are obviously the creatures of their donors, but they don't hold power over people like government agencies and U.N. (U.N.?!) bodies, but there's never enough money to feed these institutions, and they also become the creatures of their donors. And the way the "donations" work is always very low key. Maybe no money changes hands, but there's a cushy 7-figure position on a corporate board in the government official's future. If you think the EPA, FDA, UsDA, DOE, or FBI are working for us, you're a fool.
