"History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme" is an unsourced quote attributed to MarkTwain


I kinda like considering that quote with reference to history that occurred on this day, November the 6th.


1. On Novembe the 6th, 1900, McKinley is reelected president, defeating William Jennings Bryan
Teddy Roosevelt was his VP.


a. From the mid-19th century, the Progressive ideas bubbled throughout academia. Their source was Hegelian philosophy....Karl Popper is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of scienceof the 20th century [The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy(Summer 2009 Edition) ]; he watched the rise of Hitler, and the Nazis, and analyzed the conditions that allowed fascism to arise. He realized that all the totalitarian philosophies of the 20th century owe their origin to Hegel.

This is the essence of Hegelian, and Progressive, thought
“All the worth which the human being possesses - all spiritual reality, he possesses only through the State.” Hegel and Totalitarianism




2. Now, while Woodrow Wilson is usually according the title of 'first Progressive President,' an argument can be made that Theodore Roosevelt was the tip of that iceberg.

a.Well known is TR's outburst, when told the Constitution did not permit the confiscation of private property: "To hell with the Constitution when the people want coal!"

Less well known is that at one point TR summoned General John M. Schofield, instructing him: "I bid you pay no heed to any other authority, no heed to a writ from a judge, or anything else except my commands." (p. 138) "33 Questions About American History You're Not Supposed to Ask," by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

Sound like the current Progressive President?




There is a straight line, historically and doctrinally, from Hegel to Hitler to every Progressive President.

3. Now, here is where 'history rhymes'....

November 6th, 1917, Armed workers and troops (Bolsheviks) took over the government and strategic points in Petrograd. Kerensky fled. The next day, Lenin formed the “Council of People’s Commissars.”
The Bolsheviks believed what Hegel did.


Hegel, Hitler, Teddy Roosevelt, Lenin, .....History rhymes, and the pot boils.
 
You forgot the progressive GOP Congress and Supreme Court which backed TR...


What????

You mean that there were GOP Progressives????

Shocker.


“The American intellectual class from the mid 19th century onward has disliked [classical] liberalism (which originally referred to individualism, private property, and limits on power) precisely because the [classical] liberal society has no overarching goal.” http://fff.org/freedom/fd0203c.asp


The roiling in today's political conversation is due to a revolt against GOP Progressives.

There are progressives in religion also, but do try to understand that there are no political party boundaries on epidemiology...The time of TR was a time of mega capitalist perverting the system to gain more power and wealth, at the expense of the common worker...

She also forgot the voters who put those people in office. The voters who were sick of the status quo that lead to bank runs and robber barons and who demanded a change.

"The time of TR was a time of mega capitalist perverting the system to gain more power and wealth, at the expense of the common worker."
  1. Reform legislation passed during Roosevelt’s presidency was based not so much on the desire to break trusts up, he had initiated some forty suits, as to regulate them: more against wickedness than big business.
    1. A successful antitrust suit against J. P. Morgan’s Northern Securities, which controlled the big western railroads.
    2. In 1902 he threatened to intervene in the anthracite coal strike, forcing mine operators to accept arbitration.
    3. Put an end to freight rebates by railroads.
    4. The Hepburn Act strengthened the Interstate Commerce Commission, which authorized the government to set railroad rates.
    5. In 1906, the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed (scandals in meatpacking industry).
    6. The Employers’ Liability and Safety Appliance Laws limited employees hours…etc.
  2. While he didn’t get all he asked for, in 1907 annual message to Congress, he called for income and inheritance taxes, currency reform, the eight-hour day, and control of campaign contributions.
  3. Taft brought more anti-trust suits in one term than TR in two, and broke up Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company. He got the eight-hour day for government workers, and supported the income tax amendment. See "1912," by Chace, P. 18
 
Was McKinley's assassin a progressive anarchist?


Anarchists and Progressives are Leftists.

In fact, every presidential assassin in the history of the nation has been a liberal- or has not been associated with a political outlook- none were right-wingers.

Hardly, when your messiah Jesus was a progressive in an ultra conservative society...

It's great when the Left, who hate religion, default to trying to use religion to support their failures.


Back to the point: Progressivism is a branch of the same tree that gave us Nazism, Communism, and every totalitarian permutation.

Just an observation skimming this, but like Trump, if all you ever do is attack your opposition people will start to wonder if it's because you don't have any accomplishments to brag about.

Since what you characterize as "attack" is, in reality, revealing the truth.....

...you post may be an announcement that you have no ability to judge reality.

John Wilkes Booth was a conservative you idiot.


You are, of course, wrong about both Booth and about me....

Lincoln was assassinated byJohn Wilkes Booth, “…an angry Copperhead, a.k.a., ‘peace democrat,’ (when that meant pro-slavery, of course.)John Wilkes Booth - Liberapedia

John Wilkes Booth



Don't try to hide "democrat" by obfuscation.
 
Back to the point: Progressivism is a branch of the same tree that gave us Nazism, Communism, and every totalitarian permutation.

You might want to brush up on US history, specifically the labor movement of the early 20th century. It was the laissez faire types who demanded no safety regulations in mines and mills and who bought off police and state legislatures to actively oppress people who just wanted to be treated like human beings and not a draft mule. Machine gunning miners in Ludlow CO and Cabin Creek WV wasn't done by the left.

Yeah um....... "pro-slavery" would be conservative, child.

Nor did the left call out the National Guard to intimidate and kill the common worker...

Indeed this was the time a kind of magnetic polar reversal of the parties was taking place, McKinley and Bryan being two of its primary figureheads, where the previously Liberal and younger Republican party started to abandon its principles and take on the interests of the corporations and the rich, while the previously states-rights, decentralized-government Democratic Party started to take on the Populist movement, and ergo the commoner.

You mean "Democrat," don't you.

Don't try to hide from your history.

Well....OK...if I have to teach you:

Jim Crow was the result of Democrat big government in the South.

  1. Liberal historian Eric Foner writes that the Klan was “…a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party…” Foner, “Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877,” p. 425

Your post has nothing to do with the correct statement to which you've linked it.

Rather, it is more of the Liberal 'well...so what ...there is this.....blah blah blah.'
