Re: The Reason Democrats Are Backing Gay Rights and Marijuana Legalization
Can you name those progressives who have changed ? You can't. The radical internationalist left from the fringe needed a label to hide behind and after they dirtied the liberal label they moved over to the progressive movement and hijacked the progressive movement.
The progressive movement wasn't a Democrat or Republican movement. During the Progressive era there were as many progressives in the Democrat party as there were in the Republican party.
A true progressive is a nationalist socialist. Those progressives of today are something else, mostly Marxist, radical leftist, internationalist socialist, etc.
Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Dillingham, Bellamy were all progressives, some were Democrats some were Republicans but all were racist. You can't call yourself a progressive unless you believe that northern Europeans are superior to other ethnicities and races.
It's a possibility that the progressives of today are still closet racist since they believe that certain minorities are inferior and can't compete in society and need special privileges and protections to compete in society.
Nawww the Progressive movement has simply refined the firing data. Born in an age of colonialism, intense nationalism, with a heaping helping of institutional racism, while our nation was rising to World Power status, the world bled through two huge wars. The Progressive movement has changed as conditions changed. That some see 'radicals' in the bushes might be more due to a severe Observer-target angle than anything else.
