Hitler and Stalin weren't "Progressives". Progressives were gone by the time those guys came up.
Why don't you just write a nice novel if you're so into fabrication.
I admit, I could never write a novel. I don't have the ability to just make shit up. I was born without a wild imagination.
You're an idiot.......they were the epitome of progressivism.......they loved other progressive.like Margaret Sanger, Karl marx, ect......and huey long was a progressive among many in our govt...at that time...and Sanders and Warren s are progressives...so they never went anywhere they called themselves liberals because their brand was tainted.
Sigh.
The Progressives died with Bob LaFollete, in 1925. They were active from around the turn of the century up to World War One. That's before Huey Long's career and waaay before Sanders and Clinton, who not only don't resemble each other ideologically, neither was even born yet. Sanger wasn't in politics.
>> Progressivism is the term applied to a variety of responses to the economic and social problems rapid industrialization introduced to America. Progressivism began as a social movement and grew into a political movement. The early progressives rejected Social Darwinism. In other words, they were people who believed that the problems society faced (poverty, violence, greed, racism, class warfare) could best be addressed by providing good education, a safe environment, and an efficient workplace.
Progressives lived mainly in the cities, were college educated, and believed that government could be a tool for change. Social reformers, like Jane Addams, and journalists, like Jacob Riis and Ida Tarbel, were powerful voices for progressivism. They concentrated on exposing the evils of corporate greed,
combating fear of immigrants, and urging Americans to think hard about what democracy meant. Other local leaders encouraged Americans to register to vote, fight political corruption, and let the voting public decide how issues should best be addressed (the initiative, the referendum, and the recall).
On a national level, progressivism gained a strong voice in the White House when
Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901. TR believed that strong corporations were good for America, but he also believed that corporate behavior must be watched to ensure that corporate greed did not get out of hand (trust-busting and federal regulation of business). << ---
The Progressive Era (1890-1920)
Do you get paid for how many times you're flat wrong in one day? Or is it by the post?
Diga me Tonto -- does "combating the fear of immigrants" sound like Hitler? Does getting voters involved, standing against political corruption and encouraging referenda sound like Stalin?
Hm?
