First of all, Solomon here employs the term "progressive."
"Progressive" has become a buzz word to conflate reformists with
revolutionaries - a category where those who advocate reform within the
capitalist system of seeking highest profit on investment as the primary
precept are subsumed, to our increasing disservice and confusion, with
those who know that this is just another route to capitalist predation
and planetary destruction, and who demand the extirpation, top to
bottom, of the capitalist system.
Any candidate for office within the two-party system serves that
pro-capitalist purpose. Some seek alliance with root-and-branch-radicals
around reform, as so-called "progressives," but they are guaranteed,
within the process set up by corporate design for governance, to instead
haplessly attempt to manage capitalism. It has happened over and over
with reformists (witness social democracy or "euro-communism" in Europe
over the years, the just-now deposed Greek Syriza regime), and we are
increasingly mired in our own excrescence as we continue to tolerate it.
Never has it been more imperative, for our very survival as a species
and for the survival of our natural sources of sustenance, that we stop
deluding ourselves that the capitalist transnational corporate structure
and its hopelessly bought-and-paid-for government agents any longer
serve any valid social purpose, and therefore that we affirm by
consensus that they must be chased the hell out of power.
