The same claims were made at the beginning of the industrial revolution. The work we do will change, but there will always be work for people do to that machines aren't suited for.
If you spend more on education, not just tertiary, but primary and secondary, it will nurture youth to have higher aspirations, it will teach them more.
This turns out not to be the case. Look at what's happened to student achievement since the 1970s, during which time this country more than doubled spending per student.
Right, because if we let foreigners know how to make a gun out of materials that are only good for a dozen rounds before they disintegrate, they might eventually learn how to make guns out of steel.
Oh, wait...

That would cut into the revenues of some of the Ruling Party's favorite cronies!
That will come as a great surprise to the British crown. They lost control of a whole lot of the territory they once ruled to the kind of people you're sneering at.
It did work, on a local scale, in McMinn county, Tennessee....and many other times and places. The armed resitance to the fugitive slave act is something Americans should take great pride in.

rational planned economic system
BZZZZT!
A "planned economic system" is not rational, it is political. See the 20th century.

What you're describing is fascism, not progressivism.
ToMAYto, ToMAHto. "Progressives" are just another label for power-seekers.

do you support the idea of the president resigning from office over his unconstitutional NLRB appointments?
I'd rather see him doing time for the civil rights violations that the DEA is committing on his watch.

None of them even approach the dangers of a government unconstrained by a constitution.
More to the point, a government unconstrained by an armed population will admit no limits to its authority.

Know who else cited Holmes to justify abuse of power?

and any act of congress that contradicts the constitution is no law at all. It's a usurpation.

every "libertarian" out there would basically set up a kingdom of corporate power.
Dude, we're already living in a kingdom of corporate power. The Libertarians are the party that's trying to end that.
-jcr
the libertarians, really really really are pro-corporate in their actual published platform.
Nope. Libertarians are pro-market. The Ruling Party is pro-corporations, and does all it can to help their cronies exclude competition.
