As an American of significant German descent, I have no idea what this schweinehund is talking about.

Yeah, Franklin's writings on the Pennsylvania germans are pretty surprising to a modern audience.
It's funny when liberals try to retcon the founding fathers and their values as progressive humanism, when literally all of them were whitenats and in some cases, anglo ethnats.
Ethan Taylor
They were quite progressive, for that time.

Really depends on who you're talking about and on what subject. Thomas Paine? Definitely. Hamilton? Fuck no.
Ian Green
True, but it’s far more politically useful to try to co-opt them for the revolutionary cause than go around ranting about how evil they were. Americans are far more likely to support the left if they consider socialism to be the logical conclusion of America’s founding ideals. Which it is. Socialists, especially American socialists, should be working far harder to make people realize that socialism is the ultimate realization of the promises of the liberal revolutions. Forget 1917, we’re still fighting to live up to the dream of 1789.

ehhh, nah, many of them were pretty damn reactionary, some of them were hardly even committed republicans. Its not a 'creatures of their time' thing either, Franklin returned from his post as ambassador to France in 1785, four years later the French revolution happened and the infinitely more progressive Jacobins were organising and would withing a few more years take control of the committee of public safety. The Jacobins were 'progressive' for their time, the american founders were pretty milquetoast radicals like paine at best, and pretty reactionary monarchist faggots like hamilton at worst.

There's really nothing to salvage from the American Revolution except maybe Thomas Paine.
We'd be better served dispelling American nationalist myths than trying to coopt purely reactionary people and events. Americans need to see beyond the Founding Fathers and their rotten legacy, not be tied to them in a "lefty" way. The right will always have a tighter grip on them because when they claim the founders were a bunch of anti-democratic reactionary plutocrats, they're fucking right.
