===Alexander Solzhenitsyn on the Progressive Doctrine===

30 years in into the [[leftist]] [[multicultural]] experiment called the [[Soviet Union]], [[Alexander Solzhenitsyn]] did an extensive study of the Progressive Doctrine in Volume II of ''[[The Gulag Archipelago]]''. Solzhenitsyn wrote, {{quotebox|In this study. if nothing prevents us. we intend to, make an important scientific discovery. In the development of our [[hypothesis]] we would in no way wish to come into conflict with the Progressive Teaching. The author of these lines, attracted by the enigma of the native tribe populating the Archipelago, undertook a lengthy scientific expedition there and collected abundant material. And as a result it is very easy to prove that the ''zeks'' [prisoners of the [[gulag]] ] of the Archipelago constitute a class of society. For, after all, this multitudinous group (of many. millions) has a single (common to them all) relationship to production (namely: subordinate, attached, and without any right to direct that production). It also has a single common relationship to the distribution of the products of labor (namely: no relationship at all, living only that insignificant share of the products required for the meager support of their own existence). And, in addition, all their labor is no small thing, but one of the principal ·constituents of the whole state economy.}}

{{quotebox|It has been known for centuries that Hunger . . . rules the world! (And all your Progressive Doctrine is, incidentally, built on Hunger, on the thesis that hungry people will inevitably revolt against the well-fed.) Hunger rules every hungry human being, unless he has himself consciously decided to die. Hunger, which forces an honest person to reach out and steal ("When the belly rumbles, conscience flees"). Hunger, which compels the most unselfish person to look with envy into someone else's bowl, and to try painfuIly to estimate what weight of ration his neighbor is receiving. Hunger, which darkens the brain and refuses to allow it to be distracted by anything else at all, or to think about anything else at all, or to speak about anything else at all except food, food, and food. Hunger, from which it is impossible to escape even in dreams-dreams are about food, and insomnia is over food. And soon-just insomnia. Hunger, after which one cannot even eat up; the man has by then turned into a one-way pipe and everything emerges from him in exactly the same state in which it was swallowed.}}
