Welcome to this 107th episode of The Shift where host Doug McKenty discusses the history of Progressivism with blogger and documentary filmmaker Duane Hayes. Though many believe the progressive movement to be grassroots, fighting the forces of Capitalist oppression in favor of the needs of the common person, this conversation exposes a history replete with influence by the very forces it claims to refute. You will be surprised to discover that early "scientific socialists" were intimately connected to a very wealthy elite promoting a continuance of the Anglo-American Empire, eugenics, technocracy, behaviorist education, and even the use of propaganda to manipulate the masses into accepting these forms of social engineering.
