The Telmarc Group PROGRESSIVISM, INDIVIDUALISM, AND THE PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL recognize and support newly independent governments, especially those opposing entrenched capitalist or otherwise oppressive overlords and/or occupiers211 . Recognize and support the Soviet Union. Foreign Military Presence Reduce or eliminate the international presence of the US military. Includes leaving Haiti and Philippines. Page 206 emptive war option (Bush Doctrine). Reduce or eliminate the international presence of the US military. Includes leaving Iraq. As one has the opportunity to review this analysis it is clear that the Obama Administration has actually achieved more in its first two years than the Socialist Party in all of its existence. 211 One should remember that the Philippines was controlled and occupied by the United States at that time, Ireland and Egypt similarly by Britain and Haiti was also controlled and occupied by the US from 1915 thru 1934.
The Telmarc Group PROGRESSIVISM, INDIVIDUALISM, AND THE PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL 8 CONCLUSIONS We may now step back and attempt to assimilate these positions in the context of where the U.S. is at in the early part of the 21st Century and where it may be going. It is clear that, for many people who get involved in politics, that there are paradigms and world views that dominate their behavior and that we must better understand these motivators and elements which form the way they act. 8.1 PROGRESSIVES If one looks at Paine as one of the earliest Progressives one can study his motivations and see that in many ways he was reacting against what he perceived as a snub from the Americans. He had contributed substantially in thought and deed to the American cause but he felt he was short handed in return. He felt, and justifiably so, that he was denied is remuneration, his distribution. Thus in his writings from France we see the birth of a redistributionist, a logical redistributionist, but still a redistributionist 212 . If one looks back to Wilson one sees the following. Woodrow Wilson had compiled into the work, The New Freedom, his thoughts after the 1912 election 213 . This document is well worth the read today. I have included a small section for reflection: What is liberty? I have long had an image in my mind of what constitutes liberty. Suppose that I were building a great piece of powerful machinery, and suppose that I should so awkwardly and unskillfully assemble the parts of it that every time one part tried to move it would be interfered with by the others, and the whole thing would buckle up and be checked. Liberty for the several parts would consist in the best possible assembling and adjustment of them all, would it not? If you want the great piston of the engine to run with absolute freedom, give it absolutely perfect alignment and adjustment with the other parts of the machine, so that it is free, not because it is let alone or isolated, but because it has been associated most skillfully and carefully with the other parts of the great structure. What it liberty? You say of the locomotive that it runs free. What do you mean? You mean 212 See various works on Paine, … 213 http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14811/14811-h/14811-h.htm Page 207
