'''Theodore Roosevelt''' (1858–1919), 26th President (1901–1909), is the Progressive-era embodiment of the strong nationalist state disciplining monopoly — the "Square Deal" president who expanded executive power in the name of the people against both plutocracy and radicalism.

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]]).

""Theodore Roosevelt appears in Haz's debate sparring over progressive-party history.

From the Haz vs NewYorkDemocrat | InfraredShow Debate

Sparring with a Democrat over third-party viability:

> "Do you know who chaired the Progressive Party? ...It was Theodore Roosevelt... 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."

The point

TR's Bull Moose run is the standing proof that third parties with real class content can score, against the "third parties never win" deflection — and the exchange shows Haz's debate method: concede nothing, flip the opponent's authorities, keep the frame (Andrew Jackson, New Deal).
