What kind of future do people dream about when they are lost in their fantasies? Keep in mind that reality is never totally like dreams but it gives an indication of what people want. I am going to look at the future fantasies of the Progressives as opposed to those who believe in free enterprise.
Progressives include a lot of people who have never used the term. It includes the socialist elites. This would be made up of all the people in the media, education and government who feel they are so superior that they deserve to make decisions for everyone else. They want government control of everything. For that reason it includes most of the professional politicians of both parties. This would also include many business people who should be free enterprise capitalists but are really into crony capitalism. Crony capitalism is demonstrated by the rich businessmen being in bed with the government and using government regulations to keep the smaller business from succeeding. This would also include the rioters calling themselves Antifa.
Those who believe in free enterprise want a minimum of government interference. They feel they are grown ups and can make their own decisions. They are willing to take risks and accept the rewards or the cost of failure. They don’t believe that a government appointee can make any kind of plan that will work in the real world.
To be continued...
