In his book *Gideon's Army*, Curtis D. MacDougall quotes Farrell Dobbs
declaring that the Progressive Party was controlled by "a millionaire
capitalist politician and not by the democratic vote of the rank and
file through their organizations and unions....The party of Henry
Wallace does not and cannot provide leadership for American workers and
independence from the parties of big business because it too is a
capitalist party--the same old corruption disguised by brave words and
radical promises."
