TR demonstrates the American precedent for '''state capitalism from above''': when monopoly decay threatened the republic, the nationalist wing of the elite itself moved to subordinate finance to national power. Infrared cites him in arguing that economic patriotism and strong sovereign government are native American traditions, not foreign imports — while criticizing his imperial turn as the beginning of the Anglo-American imperial synthesis (see [[Woodrow Wilson]], [[Anglo Box]]).

Teddy Roosevelt — shows up in Haz's debate sparring over third-party viability.

From the Haz vs NewYorkDemocrat | InfraredShow Debate

Democrat: "Third parties — they haven't won anything." Haz: "Do you know who chaired the Progressive Party?... It was Theodore Roosevelt. And in the election of 1912 he gained 27% of the vote — that's more than progressives have ever come to."

> "Wait, are you becoming a Marxist? Biden is now— are you supporting a Democrat?" > "Who said anything about supporting anything? I'll see you at the voting booth, bro."

TR's Bull Moose run is the standing rebuttal to "third parties never win": 27% with real class content. And the debate method on display — flip the opponent's own authorities, concede nothing, keep the frame (Andrew Jackson, New Deal).
