  - Wilson had emerged as a powerful champion of the progressive agenda
  - The platform called for military preparedness, a world association of nations to maintain peace after the war in Europe had ended, Pan-American unity, a ban on child labor, women's suffrage, and prison reform.

- That the 1912 election registered, and inspired, fundamental changes in American politics suggests the historical significance of the Progressive Party. Not only was it the driving force of this election, but it remains the most important third party to appear on the American political landscape in the 20th century.
- The party was deeply divided over civil right
- 1 more annotations...
- - embraced a "New Freedom" version of progressivism, which prescribed antitrust measures and state regulations as an alternative to the expansion of national administrative power.

- Polls show that Americans don't trust government and still don't want big government. They do, however, want what government delivers, like health care and national defense and, now, protections from banking and housing failure.
- In the short run, since neither consumers nor business is likely to do it, the government will have to stimulate the economy.
- 2 more annotations...
- - in the long run, an aging population and global warming and higher energy costs will demand more government taxing and spending.
  - more government intrusion in the economy will almost surely limit growth (as it has in Europe, where a big welfare state has caused chronic high unemployment).

- The president was given the executive power to not only approve the code — essentially giving the President the authority to make laws, which is the job of the Congress
- but also he could impose his own conditions on those codes, make additions or deletions to them prior to approving them, and was free to write codes himself where none existed.

- - The Brain Trust was a group of academics put together to carve out the policies of the New Deal prior to Roosevelt's inauguration.
  - The NRA was part of President Roosevelt's first 99 days, which produced 16 pieces of relief legislation in 1933, including the following:
  - The Supreme Court found that the provisions in the code were not a valid exercise of federal power. The court argued that Congress had given too much control to the presidency to issue whatever edicts it chose.

- n this work he confessed, “I cannot imagine power as a thing negative and not positive.”
- “No doubt a lot of nonsense has been talked about the inalienable rights of the individual, and a great deal that was mere sentiment and pleasing speculation has been put forward as fundamental principle,” wrote Wilson, attacking the very individual rights that have made America great.
- 6 more annotations...
- - He rejected the principles of “separation of powers” and “checks and balances” that are the foundation of American government: “Government does now whatever experience permits or the times demand….” wrote Wilson in The State.
  - Indeed, in a disturbing 1890 essay entitled Leaders of Men, Wilson said that a “true leader” uses the masses of people like “tools.” He writes, “The competent leader of men cares little for the internal niceties of other people’s characters: he cares much–everything–for the external uses to which they may be put…. He supplies the power; others supply only the materials upon which that power operates…. It is the power which dictates, dominates; the materials yield. Men are as clay in the hands of the consummate leader.” So much for the dignity of each person!
  - “Woe be to the man or group of men that seeks to stand in our way,” said Wilson in June 1917 to counter protests to the fascist regime that he created upon entering WW I.
  - Wilson rejects the Jeffersonian individualism that has defined the Founding and American conservatism: “While we are followers of Jefferson, there is one principle of Jefferson’s which no longer can obtain in the practical politics of America. You know that it was Jefferson who said that the best government is that which does as little governing as possible…. But that time is passed. America is not now and cannot in the future be a place for unrestricted individual enterprise.” Follower of Jefferson? Yeah right!
  - “I am an advocate of peace, but there are some splendid things that come to a nation through the discipline of war,”
  - At Wilson’s urging, a Sedition Act (not unlike the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 ) forbade Americans from criticizing their own government in a time of war. Citizens could not “utter, print, write or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language” about the government or the military. The Postmaster General was given the authority to revoke the mailing privileges of those who disobeyed. About 75 periodicals were were shut down by the government in this way and many others were given warnings.

- term totalitarianism was invented by Mussolini
- Pericles and his imperialist foreign policies led Athens into
  such a national catastrophe that democracy was largely discredited in the
  ancient Greek world.
- 17 more annotations...
- - Athens was never a major world
    power like Persia.
  - Alexander the Great who made Greece a world power
  - he despised Athenian democracy. (Aristotle was Alexander's
    tutor.
  - the Roman Republic did become a major
    world power.
  - The Roman Republic was
    one of the most brutal imperialist regimes ever seen
  - After Augustus
    established the Empire in 40 B.C., parliamentary democracy had so little
    credibility that it largely disappeared for almost 1,700 years as a serious
    political force in the wes
  - China
    where the state of Chin (considered the Sparta of ancient China) created the
    first Chinese Empire. This state was based on some of the most ruthless
    political theories of totalitarian political control that the world has ever
    seen, the theory of legalism.
  - the first major empire in India was being created by
    Emperor Chandrgupta I.
  - The political master plan for this society is outlined in a very
    detailed book by Kautilya, the Emperor's Prime Minister called the
    Arthashastra
  - the racial caste
    system described in the ancient Book of Manu
  - Parliamentary democracy was reborn in the late eighteenth
    century and nineteenth century in Europe, being based on idealized versions of
    ancient Greece and Rome.
  - Power can be a double-edged sword. The current "triumph" of parliamentary
    democracy could well become its funeral wreath if it cannot reform itself.
  - Ideas
    from the past will be used to control the future
  - Hitler gained power because he promised
    to end the gridlock of the Weimar Republic. The huge popularity of people such
    as Hitler and Napoleon (as well as Augustus Caesar) shows that the people will
    welcome leaders who promise to sweep away democracy in order to deal with
    crises.
  - Or could we replay such events as the Holocaust, Stalin's
    Gulag Archipelago or Mao's "Great Leap Forward", which we now know killed over
    40 million Chinese citizens under appalling circumstances? We have already had
    recent holocausts such as the mass murder of one million people in Rwanda and
    the mayhem in that took place in the former Yugoslavia as democracy unleashed
    the forces of racism and violence that had been kept in check by the
    dictatorship of Tito.
  - Technology will increase the hypnotic power of charismatic
    leaders and will also enable levels of political control virtually unprecedented
    in history. There is a lot of truth to Albert Speer's observation that a
    key difference of Hitler's regime to those of the past was the role of
    technology.
  - Not since Augustus Caesar had there been such a total
    orchestration of technology, media, art and music for political purposes.

- not to cultivate but to consolidate those forces which are already in
  existence
- The total frankness of members with the organizer is the basis for the
  successful progress of the cause.
- 48 more annotations...
- - The purpose of the sections is to achieve the independence and autonomy of
    the organization's work and their use as an extra guarantee of the security of
    the common cause.
  - A section may send its members to inspect subordinate cells and dispatch
    them to fresh places in order to found new organizations.
  - 12. Amongst the conditions necessary for a section to commence its activities
    are:
  - The revolutionary is a dedicated man. He has no interests of his own, no
    affairs, no feelings, no attachments, no belongings, not even a name.
    Everything in him is absorbed by a single exclusive interest, a single thought,
    a single passion - the revolution.
  - he has
    broken every tie with the civil order and the entire cultivated world
  - He is an
    implacable enemy of this world, and if he continues to live in it, that is only
    to destroy it more effectively.
  - He knows of only one science, the
    science of destruction.
  - despises all doctrinairism and has rejected the mundane
    sciences, leaving them to future generations.
  - everything is moral which assists the triumph of
    revolution.
  - merciless towards the state and
    towards the whole of educated and privileged society in general
  - He must
    discipline himself to endure torture.
  - cold and single-minded passion for the
    revolutionary cause.
  - Hard towards himself, he must be hard towards others also.
  - In cold-blooded
    and tireless pursuit of this aim, he must be prepared both to die himself and
    to destroy with his own hands everything that stands in the way of its
    achievement.
  - no place either for personal
    hatred or vengeance.
  - no place for any romanticism, any
    sentimentality, rapture or enthusiasm.
  - considers his friend and holds dear only a person who has
    shown himself
  - The
    extent of his friendship, devotion and other obligations towards his comrade is
    determined only by their degree of usefulness in the practical work of total
    revolutionary destruction.
  - The need for solidarity among revolutionaries is self-evident. In it lies
    the whole strength of revolutionary work
  - each man
    should as far as possible rely on himself.
  - When a comrade gets into trouble, the revolutionary, in deciding whether he
    should be rescued or not, must think not in terms of his personal feelings but
    only of the good of the revolutionary cause.
  - 12. The admission of a new member, who has proved himself not by words but by
    deeds, may be decided upon only by unanimous agreement.
  - lives in it only because he has faith in its speedy and
    total destruction.
  - All the worse for him if he has family,
    friends and loved ones in this world;
  - he is no revolutionary if he can stay his
    hand.
  - The revolutionary must penetrate everywhere
  - society must be split up into several categories: the
    first category comprises those to be condemned immediately to death
  - order of the
    relative harm they may do to the successful progress of the revolutionary
    cause
  - The guiding principle must be the
    measure of service the person's death will necessarily render to the
    revolutionary cause
  - deaths will also inspire the greatest fear in the
    government and, by depriving it of its cleverest and most energetic figures,
    will shatter its strength
  - high-ranking cattle
  - wealth, connections, influence and
    power
  - third category
  - must be exploited
  - liberals
    of various hues
  - pretending that we are blindly following them, while in fact we are taking
    control of them
  - politically ambitious
  - given to idle peroration
  - doctrinaires, conspirators,
    revolutionaries
  - forced into making
    violent declarations
  - The sixth, and an important category is that of women
  - We should regard
    these women as the most valuable of our treasures, whose assistance we cannot
    do without.
  - Our society has only one aim - the total emancipation and happiness of the
    people, that is, the common laborers.
  - The only revolution
    that can save the people is one that eradicates the entire state system and
    exterminates all state traditions of the regime and classes in Russia.
  - our society does not intend to impose on the people any
    organization from above
  - since the very
    foundation of the state power of Muscovy, have never ceased to protest
  - we must ally ourselves above
    all with those elements of the popular life which
  - the nobility, against the bureaucracy, against the
    priests, against the world of the merchant guilds, and against the tight-fisted
    peasant profiteer.

- Yesterday's incident was important. It happened because of the shameful system of arranged marriages, because of the darkness of the social system, the negation of the individual will, and the absence of the freedom to choose one's own mate. It is to be hoped that interested persons will comment on all aspects of this affair, and that they will defend the honour of a girl who died a martyr's death for the cause of the freedom to choose her own love. ...
- All of us, the potential victims, must be on our guard before this dangerous thing that could inflict a fatal blow on us. We should protest loudly, warn the other human beings who are not yet dead, and condemn the countless evils of our society. ...

What if our nation becomes desperate again and a person like Stalin or Hitler came into power? Would our nation gladly allow the government to sustain our lives? Could the United States of America ever find itself governed by a fascist regime?
