“Mill depicted socialist precepts in a way that would seem attractive to liberals who are constantly striving to create a better world. The quest for utopia — or as close to utopia as can be achieved with the right sorts of government interventions — is the quintessential mindset of the progressive liberal. … David Gordon has observed that Mill was not only a utopian, he was also ‘a propagandist anxious to replace Christianity with a Religion of Humanity, guided by intellectuals such as himself.’ In that sense Mill can be seen as typical of “The Anointed” as identified by Thomas Sowell.” (05/11/26)
