Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao all were intertwined with the rise of Progressivism, and all were opposed to the natural rights on which our Declaration are based,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cMany Progressives expressed admiration for each of them shortly before their governments killed tens of millions of people.\u201d He warned that the danger of Progressivism persists to this day: \u201cSince Wilson\u2019s Presidency, Progressivism has made many inroads into our system of government and our way of life. It has coexisted uneasily with the principles of the Declaration. Because it is opposed to those principles, it is not possible for the two to coexist forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Thomas\u2019s account of Progressivism as a malign force threatening individual liberty echoes an argument developed by scholars at the conservative Claremont Institute. When I asked Charles Kesler, a senior fellow at the institute and the editor of the <em>Claremont Review of Books<\/em>, about the significance of Thomas\u2019s address, he invoked Abraham Lincoln\u2019s in 1858, on the existential stakes for a nation riven by slavery. \u201cThis is really Thomas\u2019s, in a strange way, his \u2018house divided\u2019 speech,\u201d Kesler told me. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t expect the Union to fall, but he doesn\u2019t expect it to remain half slave and half free permanently. It will become all one or all the other.\u201d Ronald Pestritto, also a senior fellow at Claremont and the graduate dean at Hillsdale College, wrote in praise of Thomas\u2019s speech: \u201cThe Left doesn\u2019t want us to notice that they predicate their core governing vision on a rejection of America\u2019s founding principles, and so they are bound to protest Thomas\u2019s account. Yet his account is dead-on accurate, and for proof one need only look to the original Progressives, who were open in their disdain of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. In this, they were far more honest than their present-day cousins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Numerous scholars of the Progressive Era with whom I spoke said Thomas had offered up a distorted version of the movement. Nancy Unger, a past president of the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era and a professor emerita at Santa Clara University, said, \u201cProgressives were not perfect, and I don\u2019t pretend that they were, but this is such a misrepresentation of who they were. The driving force for most Progressives was not that they were anti-American, not that they were anti-Declaration of Independence and Constitution, but that they were saying, \u2018Look, this is a different nation than when we started, we\u2019re an industrial, urban nation, and a lot of things that didn\u2019t require government before do so now.\u2019 So to turn that into some kind of vilification, I just think, is unconscionable.\u201d Christopher Nichols, a historian of the Progressive Era at the Ohio State University, said of Thomas\u2019s account, \u201cIt\u2019s a deeply problematic reduction of Progressivism to its most negative elements,\u201d including racism and support for eugenics. Thomas\u2019s speech, Nichols continued, \u201cabsolutely mistakes and conflates figures like Stalin and Hitler and Mussolini as Progressives, none of whom would have defined themselves as such, or were defined in their eras as such.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">As <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/209183\/clarence-thomas-history-progressivism-speech\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/209183\/clarence-thomas-history-progressivism-speech&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/209183\/clarence-thomas-history-progressivism-speech\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Ford<\/a> noted in <em>The New Republic<\/em>, Wilson offers a convenient target, given an ugly record of racism that led Princeton, in 2020, to remove his name from the public-policy school, as an \u201cinappropriate namesake.\u201d But Thomas\u2019s focus on Wilson misrepresents his role in the Progressive movement. \u201cPresenting Wilson as the inventor of progressivism is historically illiterate, akin to saying that Joseph Stalin invented communism or that Ronald Reagan invented conservatism,\u201d Ford wrote. (Thomas never mentioned Wilson\u2019s Progressive predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican.)
