much of that energy got channeled through Teddy Roosevelt and the

There was a a guy, a passionate socialist, named Eugene V. Debs- self described as an " American Bolshevik -" who scared the capitalist ruling class into those- back then- very significant reforms. With the help of a mass socialist movement !
But if History can be rationally explained , how can ANY nation imagine itself exceptional - no matter how wonderful and progressive ?
Does Doris Kearns Goodwin imagine that Hillary Clinton was going in the direction of historical progress ? " Wall St. Hillary ", " Hawk Hillary ", " Corrupt Hillary " ?
The American capitalist class- which patronizes liberal historians- needs endless assurance that it must be around forever. But only CHANGE is eternal on this side of paradise.

Russia ?
