Excellent episode. Done very well.
Just one thing. Progressives are not only motivated by all you explained well here, many like violence. Socialism for that kind of people is just an alibi for doing evil. For minority, but still, it is a non negligible minority. I always have an impression, like with the ID episode, you focus too much on the good side of anything, like god, average man, anything. Dark side is a very good motivator for many people. Many people worship evil. Right wingers as well, many adore the iron fist as well as some leftists.
