"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.
