People have been know to have ideologies that have not had a significant impact in their time and place, aside from the question of it being true or not. My question has always been, even now, has been; ''can you turn back the time in any meaningful way?'' and ''is it natural or desirable to even wish it so?''
Except that neo-reactionaries are becoming increasingly politically influential in the West and have made motions to achieve their own desired reality. It isn't a question anymore, it's happening and this is very bad for anyone who understands that it is impossible to go back in time. Not only would this be insulting to our current conditions and histories by discarding all of that, but it would be impossible because you can't discard it. Colonized countries cannot even discard the specter and effect of colonialism on their nations, how can you discard 700 years of history, cultural development, and perspective from existence and go back to how we understood things hundreds of years ago? You can destroy the state, implement the same exact institutions that were there in feudal Europe, and implement the same social practices that were there in feudal Europe but that doesn't mean everything is just like feudal Europe. It can never be.
I'd beg to differ, as at least political nature abhors a vacuum.
Er, have you read about any of the experiments I have listed especially current ones like Rojava, the Zapatistas, and (I forgot to mention) the FEJUVE of Bolivia? None of the above had anything resembling a power vaccum and had their own horizontal and hierarchy-less forms of organization.
Well, that's your opinion anyway. The word ''progress'' to me has the connotation of meaning ''better''.
Making the term "progress" mean "better" makes the term useless given how subjective it ends up being. The term "progress" has far more utility if we describe as any form of social change whether big or small; whether liberal or conservative.
