AMERICAN PROGRESSIVISM AND PATERNALISM By William Thorpe
I begin with contrasting THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT OF THE BLACK AMERICAN EXPERIENCE with THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT ATTACKING PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN along with THE CLIMATE and PROGRESSIVISM OF THE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE MOVEMENTS. The context of The Uncommitted, Climate and Universal Health Care movements are PATERNALISTIC. What I mean by the paternalistic anticipations of these three current, non-civil rights movements is this: Instead of The Uncommitted, Climate and Universal Health Care movements actually creating and structuring an organized front, independent of Political Parties, polemicizing and advancing their objectives on their own particular terms, they are relying on tactics of pressuring, in this case THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY who they presume is amenable to their cause and objective. So in the case of THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT and the relative blackmail of President Joe BIDEN, to now include Vice-President Kamala Harris. What we see is a singular focus on President Joe Biden as a paternalistic figure, responsible for a specific politics that is at odds with the objectives of and is offensive to the anticipations of THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT and its defense of The Palestinian People being exterminated by U.S supplied armaments and materiel to the execution of Zionist objectives of the Israeli Government of Benjamin Netanyahu. Now here is a pivotal omission by THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT in its critique, demanding a cease of U.S support of Benjamin Netanyahu's Zionist objectives. Joe Biden isnt the author and progenitor of American-Israel policy.Yes he supports,endorses and defends it comprehensively to the fullest and currently embodies it as an American President. But thats not the point,the issue is America's support for Israel is general, its woven into the fabric of the National narrative as such to elevate the Palestinian part of the dialectic with its undeniable humanness requires a movement comparable to The Civil Rights Movement of The Black American Experience. In other words the sort of parachute in practice of THE UNCOMMITTED Folks, is not only lazy political action but malpractice or the sort of idealistic intellectualism frowned on and castigated by all practical movements.THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT OF THE BLACK AMERICAN EXPERIENCE is a corollary, a proper continuum of America's history and existence. It is an accurate observation and characterization of history being the, account of production and its means.Whether its various formulations and struggles generally polemicized its self-cognition as fact of the nature of production and its means is besides the point, which then makes it applicable to a robust organizing pursuit by THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT were it to glean, then respect, appreciate and learn from the hard won truths of THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. Criticisms by "progressives" against The Democratic Party establishment on issues of THE CLIMATE and UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, Despite being more mature, developed and practical still have a hint of the indulgence ailing THE UNCOMMITTED, meaning both movements share a pursuit on a reliance on the speculated paternalistic provisions and accommodations of the expected amenability of THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. In so many words, if Government is active speech, a bullhorn available to us all, despite its zero sum dictatorship, then the acceptance that stability and civilization are stipulations of the simple basic relevance of history and its study is the only measure.
