A Dead Man Won the Last Democratic Presidential Debate

It’s no exaggeration to say that American politics has operated in Herbert Croly’s and FDR’s shadow ever since the Great Depression—nearly a century.

FTA:
real freedom is only possible with government assistance.

Progressives have advocated Croly’s vision of collectivist politics and antagonistic social relations ever since his book was first published in 1909
...
campaign monetary contributions must be capped so that those with more don’t “speak louder” than those with less
...
FDR was a careful follower of Croly
