A Brief History of Progressivism: The Benevolent Masters

By Ernest Sykes Sr.

The damage that progressive policies have done to America is enormous-but not irreversible-in author Ernest Sykes Sr.'s A Brief History of Progressivism . A compilation of chronologically arranged chapters, beginning with Jean-Jacques Rousseau and concluding with Michel Foucault, introduces readers to a basic understanding of the progressive movement. From there, Sykes examines the ways in which its ideas and policies will eventually lead to nothing short of a totalitarian state. How will progressives do this? By attacking the very US Constitution itself and replacing the family unit with government control. Allowing the state to become the final voice on morality allows people to become vulnerable to controls on individual and religious freedom. This shift has begun already, as is evidenced by the formation of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the insistence on political correctness, the encouragement of multiculturalism, and the emphasis on higher education. Readers will find a satisfying conclusion in which various suggestions are made on ways to bring natural law back to the United States, thus preserving American culture and making the country more God-centered.
