    But when you search for the origins of the phrase “American dream,” it turns out it emerged on the progressive left to argue the opposite side of the case — to say that unchecked capitalism and huge increases in private wealth would destroy the American dream of opportunity, because of inequality.

    The meaning of the phrase started to change after WWII. The newfound emphasis on individual economic liberty was in tension with the idea of justice for all, and this became more of a problem as economic inequality increased and the spoils of capitalism were restricted to a privileged few later in the century.

    Inequality; another brain dead Marxist meme.

    It was the merchant class that led the fight to defeat monarchy and give us freedom from massive gov't rule. It is the socialists that want to take that freedom away.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    It is the modern progressives that want to destroy class mobility and have the citizens ruled by their "experts'.

    When the Great Depression hit, the Leftists declared capitalism dead. Socialism (monarchy) became the new Liberal Cool. But no Pols could pay for all the free shit they dangled to buy votes, so they had to go to war and steal from their neighbors.

    Progressive thought has always prevailed in the end. Emancipation, women's rights, labor laws, civil rights, environmental protections, education, et al.

    I'm conservative on some issues, but I think conservatism in general is very reactionary/status quo.

    Emancipation, women voting, civil rights act(s) and the EPA were all REPUBLICAN INTITIATIVES....the Civil Rights Act(s) passed due to the Senate GOP breaking the democrat filibuster.
