We must all agree that some sort of "switch" was suddenly thrown on in 2008. Up until then, there had been a creeping movement toward "progressivism", the new alias name for the old ones: communism/marxism. That movement began in the early 20th century, largely with The Fabian Society in England and its affiliates and clones everywhere, particularly in the US. It probably felt quite natural to the people of those days, since every family unit or tiny village is essentially a communal one. The marxist ideas simply enlarged the scope of "family/village" to an extreme of a single, global, borderless, efficient unit. Equality of food, goods, wealth, clothing, housing, job importance, pay, etc. would simply have to lead to a utopia of rainbows and unicorns. Right? Wrong!
