Margaret Sanger was a prominent American proponent of eugenics, though she tried to avoid racial overtones.

Her stated goal was to eliminate hereditary diseases that seemed to be tied to race, like sickle-cell anemia in Blacks or Tay-Sachs in Jews, as well as reduce the number of diabetics and retarded people (no, there is no connection).

She lost it after WW II when she proposed camps for stupid people, where they'd need to get sterilized to leave.

She's the founder of Planned Parenthood, which is one reason her name and eugenics does not come up too often in the MSM.

There is lots and lots of information about the eugenics movement out there- the Fabians in the UK were tied up in it, one of the outcomes of that was "Brave New World".

Like the article suggests, I don't think the movement is entirely dead yet. One recent incarnation was called Social Ecology, iirc.

Hitler's ideas were far from original and mostly derivative from the ideas floating around Europe and America. Since his defeat, eugenics has been understandably unpopular as a political stance since he took it to a very unpleasant extreme.

Hmmm...I knew the other stuff about Sanger, but I had never heard this one. Well, now there is a Sanger idea that I can endorse. I say we round up Democrats and send them to a Sanger camp.
