POTENTIAL CATEGORIES FOR CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CLASSIFICATION OF PROGRESSIVE MUSIC OF RESISTANCE, REBELLION, AND REVOLT -- GENERAL BIBLIOGRAPHY

1. Progressives believe that we are all ultimately deeply interconnected, that the public good should always come before private gain, that we should work together to take care of each other, that we should work together to make a better future for those who come after us, and that we have a responsibility to do so for those who will succeed us/ progressives fight against forces and interests which contend or act otherwise.

3. Progressives respect and value the wisdom of genuinely popular, or folk, cultures, subcultures, and their customs and traditions as well as their achievements and contributions; progressives support and defend the right of the oppressed and exploited to fight back against their exploiters and oppressors; and progressives seek to assist the relatively disprivileged and disempowered in raising themselves up through their own efforts/progressives fight against forces and interests which contend or act otherwise.

11. Progressives believe in social responsibility and accountability–and especially in holding those who exploit, and oppress, as well as those who maintain complicity with exploitation and oppression responsible, and accountable, for this wrong, while progressives simultaneously believe in active civic participation, in citizens taking responsibility for our own government, for governing ourselves, and for making government truly the people’s servant and truly serve the people’s interest/progressives fight against forces and interests which contend or act otherwise.

12. Progressives believe that genuine community requires that everyone within the community enjoy the freedom to realize their full human potential, and progressives believe that realization of our full human potential as members of a genuine community is in fact only possible for each and every one of us when freedoms can actually be exercised and opportunities are in fact available/progressives fight against forces and interests which contend or act otherwise.

13.

15.
