Progressive believe that there is some sort of utopian state where the central govt supplies all the basic needs, food, housing, medical etc etc and all the happy sheeples are free to think up great things and be beautiful unique snow flakes that are unburdened by such mundane responsibilities.

Frankly IMO it's retarded...the Libertarians aren't far behind while being on the other end of the political/ideological spectrum. Both utopian scenarios rely on either the govt or fellow fucktarded humans to more or less be benevolent and always do what's "right".

Which of course NEVER happens in real life EVER.
The Govt becomes drunk and paranoid with power and becomes more and more oppressive. Fellow humans will always exploit conditions of zero control to benefit themselves and their own, see the "tragedy of the commons".

Pretty basic traits of human nature which have borne out to be true for thousands of years....and yet...the utopian fantasies are repackaged and sold again and again.
