Progressive-Era Progressivism (PEP) retroactively called National Progressivism (NatProg) or Bull Moose Progressivism (BMP is a culturally and economically left-wing ideology prominent in the United States of America between the period of time after the Gilded Age and before the end of the First World War, although starting before the Gilded Age and continuing after the WW1.


Bull Moose Progressive wants a Square Deal for all citizens (the 3 C's of Conservation of natural resources, Control of corporations, and Consumer protection) as well as a strong military and trust busting.

Bull Moose Progressive is not too different to modern File:Prog.png Progressivism, as both want welfare programs, improvements for workers rights (and equal rights in general), and transparency of political campaign contributions, but they differ in several meaningful ways.

Firstly; its positive attitude towards nationalism and military intervention instead of multicultural internationalism, Secondly; its more positive attitude towards traditional masculinity compared to modern progressivism's more negative attitude and Thirdly; having less of a focus on modern cultural issues due the fact it was prominent in the past.

Given that American President Theodore Roosevelt was its most famous proponent, NatProg is often used as a stand in or at least modelled on him, which can be seen given his design incorporating Teddy Roosevelt's glasses and cap as well as the optional Big Club. Another famous proponent of a form of NatProg was Woodrow Wilson.

History

B.M. Progressivism has it's roots in File:Monkeyzz-Enlightenment.png Enlightenment philosophy with the development of history as a progression from "barbarism to civilisation".

An egalitarian notion of progressivism, seeing society as an inevitable rise to more and more equality can be traced to the Jacobin movement during the French Revolution with thinkers like Marquis Condorcet.
