And they only recognize the first 10 Amendments, and they're going to run their affairs their own way. Again, we've seen this over and over again. You see it in the 1930s in the Farmers Holiday Movement strikes, and lynch mobs and posses and union massacres in the Far West. You see this style of taking the law into their own hands over and over again. I argue how close those two sides of the coin have always been.
Agrarian liberalism is another term, or Jeffersonian liberalism.
These were movements in which small farmers, small landholders, have tried to get a fair share. The one movement that most people know about is the Populist Party in the 1880s and 1890s. The profit should go to the person who makes it, and farmers who are growing food shouldn't be starving to death. At that time the railroads were charging exorbitant amounts to Western farmers to ship their products. But I like to remind America, too, that many Southern Populists helped create the Jim Crow laws in the South, and that Populist rhetoric was absolutely rife with anti-Semitism.
