So your manifesto relies on internal contradiction? Communists are totalitarians, after all.
Nor does the Constitution have anything in it about the scientific method, the arrow of progress, or positive rights.
The bill of rights? Not "positive" enough fer ya?
Maybe Mr. X meant democratic socialists, like those in Italy that call themselves communists.
"Progress" might not be stated in the constitution perhaps, specifically, but it was written in the "age of enlightenment," in which the idea of progress was created. Thus far, changes made to the constitution in its history have mostly advanced progress.
