Progressives (Left-Wing Marxist Socialists) think in terms of what "feels good" and "sounds good", seldom do they bother to consider the results of their agenda(s).

Because their agenda's and wishes seldom benefit the other 80% to 90% of the population, they refuse to admit there is a majority of people that don't want their schemes to be implemented.

One must also remember the Socialist model mostly is to the benefit of the 'leaders' and the base comrades don't have a clue.

That being noted, the rank n' file Progressives have no hesitation to employ violence to advance the cause. People and their property that dare to disclaim Progressive Socialist programs are subject to personal media/physical attack and/or destruction of their property.

Riots (protests) are a favorite tool of Progressives. If that fails, they just move to direct physical attack and/or destruction of property. In extreme cases they have caused grave injury to persons in the name of the cause.

However, their favorite tool is to undermine the society by undermining the government at all levels: education, judiciary, military, Department Of State, CIA and many others are infested with Progressives.
