 You could say the same for “the right” 

None of it is. There needs be be a soft transition to a bitcoin standard.

A soft landing 😉 

But there probably won’t be :/ 

 Typical Lefty. When you don't want to answer the question directly, point to the worst example of your enemy.  

 I talk progressive values. I’m may not agree with certain government policies, as you would know from my writings and other notes. I don’t have answers for a lot of these things yet but I argue the system is not working.

I’m talking things out in real time on nostr

You’re trolling and labeling. I don’t have enemies based on labels of individual people. Everyone is caught up in this system 

It’s not right v left 

 Progressive values without government is just the lamest religion ever.  

 Exactly. Liberal policies are to print money and use it to make lives better for the poor and disenfranchised. (Which they sometimes do.) Conservative policies are to print money and give it to the rich and powerful. (Which they always do.)

If neither can print money, then they both will have to cut their welfare policies and/or raise taxes.

It’s easy to inflate the currency, which is essentially an invisible tax on the poor and disenfranchised. It’s harder to actually raise taxes, particularly on the poor and disenfranchised, because it’s more visible and, by definition, they don’t have much money. And there’s a lot of them and some of them tend to vote. 

In a Bitcoin standard, if we want any programs that benefit all of society, there’s only one solution: 

Tax the fucking rich. 

 Its a good question, and the answer is it is only 'affordable' with massive pain to the vast majority of your population.  I guess if were talking about progressive ideals like ' health is a human right ' , ' UBI', ' college for all', ' minimum wage', etc.  Then layer in reality of a highly indebted society and now you are really getting taken for a ride if you vote for any of the above.

I think it would help me if Trey you had a bit more of a definition to your meaning for the word progressive in your ongoing dialogue around this idea.  Maybe its just semantics but i dont see how money that is meant to disintermediate the state's central control over people isn't anti-thetical entirely to the progressive movement as-is.
