     The Progressive left loves to crouch their terminology in Marxist terms, of a parasitic class with their Bourgeois running-dogs who exploits the Proletarian.\u00a0 Hence, the existence of the Occupy movement who shriek that they are the “99%” and condeming the “1%” despite the fact that they comprise heavily of criminal elements and spoiled rich kids who want to play revolutionary, and are backed by rich and powerful interests.\u00a0 How is that square circled?\u00a0 Simply, those old school Marxist classifications are not the true<\/em> classes that are being created.<\/p>\n

     As has been mentioned before, the Progressives increasingly see themselves as an elite<\/a> who will live in luxury and earn the social right, by providing for the hoi polloi<\/em> who are dependant on the elite for welfare\/largess.\u00a0 In effect, it is a New Feudalism where allegedly meritocratic overlords provide and guide the tabula rasa<\/em> masses, while in return getting the acquiescence and the vote of the hoi polloi <\/em>in some type of democratic validation<\/a>.\u00a0 The life of this dependant class is, in effect, the “Life of Julia.”<\/p>\n

     A recent article over at RedState by John Hayward<\/a> expounds on this”<\/p>\n

\n

“There really is a class war in America today, but it\u2019s not between any of these Marxist bumper cars.\u00a0 The three real classes are the Ruling Class, the Dependency Class, and Everyone Else.<\/p>\n

“The Dependency Class is by no means filled with poor people.\u00a0 Far from it.\u00a0 And the Ruling Class is not at all limited to elected officials.\u00a0 Lots of people are becoming dependent upon government power and money.\u00a0 Many of them are extremely wealthy.\u00a0 The Ruling Class depends on them for its power.\u00a0 Everything the Ruling Class does is designed to protect its own interests, and keep its favorite dependent constituents happy.\u00a0 Other priorities are secondary, if they count for anything at all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     The Ruling Class, which includes much of organized media, spends a great deal of effort convincing Everyone Else to accept the situation.\u00a0 Our expectations have been lowered to an absolutely dizzying degree.\u00a0 Years of stagnant growth and high unemployment?\u00a0 That\u2019s just the New Normal.\u00a0 Billions of dollars vanishing into black holes of fraud and abuse?\u00a0 No big deal.\u00a0 A billion-dollar program that can account for 85 percent of its funding is a smashing success.”<\/p>\n

     Ultimately, what Occupy and the destructive aims of the Progressive movement are about is the destruction of the “Everyone Else,” that is, those who refuse to accept the New Feudalism being forced upon them, and being punished for daring to stand on their own two feet and embodying the Middle Class work ethic and values.<\/p>\n

     Dependency is not just about being financially reliant on the state and the elites, but being culturally and spiritually dependant on them as well.\u00a0 It becomes the role of the elite to provide cultural and spiritual succor to the point where dissent is seen as morally repugnant.<\/p>\n

\n

“Many people who are unhappy with the Ruling Class are about to swallow their objections, because they have been drafted into the Dependency Class.<\/p>\n

“This isn\u2019t all just about money, though.\u00a0 Money is vitally important.\u00a0 In a political and cultural context, those who tell you money isn\u2019t important secretly think it\u2019s even more important than you do.\u00a0 But this is also about cultural attitudes and communication.\u00a0 It\u2019s about changing the way we think about ourselves.\u00a0 Earlier, stronger American generations would not put up with any of this nonsense.\u00a0 They\u2019d end the true class war in a rout.\u00a0 Their strength was bled away through a long, steady process of attitude adjustment.\u00a0 They were taught to accept the demands of the State, without expecting results.\u00a0 They were taught to accept boundless mission creep, instead of requiring exit strategies from every social-issue ‘war’ the State declares.<\/p>\n

“Crucially, our grandparents were taught to reject the notions of charity, responsibility, and independence.\u00a0 Dependency lost its stigma, to be replaced by talk of entitlement.\u00a0 Everyone the Ruling Class likes is entitled to the fruits of redistribution, but absolutely no one is entitled to ownership of their own property and labor.\u00a0 Entitlement is an eternal claim with no beginning and no end.\u00a0 Denying someone an entitlement is tantamount to theft.\u00a0 But you\u2019re not allowed to ask if the process of seizing money to fund those entitlements should be viewed as theft\u2026 not even when it literally involves robbing the cradle, and dropping insane levels of debt on every newborn child.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Of course, this can only last as long as the Progressive utopia lasts.<\/p>\n
