ahhhh. I see we've reached the "anti-communist agenda of the United States in the early 20th century" part of the thread. Oldy, but a goody. Bravo.I mean that Teddy ran his platform before the bolshevik revolution, and that his entire platform by today's politics would be considered far left. This includes both his economic, social, and public land platform.
Roosevelt was pro-labor.
He's image has been co-opted because of hunting, firearms, and individualism but that isn't a truthful portrayal of his beliefs.
I bring up the bolshevik revolution because that movement cemented what we think of when we use the term communist or socialism, but that prior to 1917 that was not the connotation.
