Herbert Croly - An Influential Gradualist Socialist Of The USA

Some socialists in the USA were more influential than others. The bad influence of some of these socialists can still be felt today making a lasting mockery of the country of the free and brave. 

Mr. Croly (January 23, 1869 – May 17, 1930), of whom I have never heard before, supposedly influenced Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. His name and influence was brought to my attention by this article.

“Croley was one of the founders of modern liberalism in the United States, especially through his books, essays, and highly influential magazine founded in 1914, The New Republic.”(Wikipedia).

I will leave this blog post here as a stub and a reminder to do more research.
