Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Summary: The progressives 'lost decade' is an important chapter of history that needs more scrutiny.

Progressives,are like a bad STD. They keep coming back. Or so I hear.

Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive too. The commie wing of the republican party.

First they were “progressives” until that word became political poison.

Then, they became “liberals” until that word became political poison.

Then, they became “progressives” again.

Same policies, different names.

From my reading there is much of the current Left, categorized now as Progressive, that was imported. Beginning in the 30s, communism and socialism from Europe was allowed to enter with immigrants, artists, professors and scholars. When it became clearly to dangerous to be “communists”, they simply shed the name and said they would refer to themselves as Progressives. This is what the communist NY City school teacher parents of Red Diaper David Horowitz said about the early sixties in his biography.
