Bull Moose Progressivism: Difference between revisions

'''Classical Progressivism''', also known as [[File:Paleoprog.png]] '''Paleoprogressivism''', is a form of [[File:Prog-u.png]] [[Progressivism|progressivism]]. Paleoprogressives believe that progress or [[File:Socjust.png]] social justice is defined by removing barriers to human potential by [[File:AntiReact.png]] eliminatigeliminating outdated customs and traditions; as well as advancing [[File:Technocracy.png]] technological and [[File:Scientocracy Small.png]] scientific progress. Paleoprogressives historically differed on how to achieve these aims. However, most of them historically were supporters of [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism]], [[File:Eugen.png]] [[Eugenicism]], and [[File:Indust.png]] [[Industrialism]]. While paleoprogressives can therefore embrace identity politics, often as a means to an end (i.e., the racism of [[File:Woodrow.png]] Woodrow Wilson or the [[File:Fem.png]] [[Feminism|original feminists]]), what distinguishes them from modern progressives is the emphasis on [[File:SJW.png]] diversity and inclusion being inherent goods. So a paleoprogressive would be more willing to accept [[File:NarcoProg.png]] drug legalization on the grounds it would exterminate the weak, leading to higher in-group potential (and thus social justice), while modern progressives focus on the injustices criminalizing drugs have on minority communities. So the ends might be similar, but the means and the logic behind them are distinct. Classically progressive ideologies include: [[File:FDRismF.png]] [[Social Liberalism|New Deal Liberalism]], [[File:ClassicalKemalism.png]] [[Kemalism]], and [[File:NatProg.png]] Bull Moose Progressivism. [[File:Spencer.png]] [[Big Tent Liberalism|Spencerism]] is a modern example of paleoprogressivism.
