Looking Backward
From Conservapedia Looking Backward: 2000 - 1887 is a utopian novel by Edward Bellamy credited with first introducing socialism in the United States by members of the Socialist Party of America.[1]
It was the third best-selling book of its era, behind Uncle Tom's Cabin and Ben-Hur.[2]
Progressivism[edit]
Jonah Goldberg, author of the book Liberal Fascism argues that the publication of Looking Backward signifies a singular event that, more than any other, marks the beginning of what would become the Progressive Era. [3]

One of the most influential works of progressive propaganda ever conceived.”
