Interesting quote from an interesting character.

Those who hold up FDR as some heroic paragon of virtue would bury his executive overreaches and preserve the illusion that he worked tirelessly to protect civil freedoms and liberties will hide historic facts that are inconvenient to the narrative. I'd speculate that he'd have achieved more in "progressing" the country toward socialism were people in general not paying attention.

Didn't he and Mussolini support each other?

I can't say for sure but it would not surprise me. What I've learned about much that historians have painted over, is that what we're experiencing now may well have been far longer in planning than most are willing to believe. It all furnished a less rosy lens through which I view the Great Depression, New Deal, (incl. Social Security), and much of the subsequent era- interestingly including the McCarthy "Communist witch hunt" era of the early 50's.

Witches do abound these days.

FDR knew that the Fascist business model (similar to China’s today) was inevitable for most of the world, because capitalism is just too unstable. Millions starving in the streets is NOT. A good idea.

China is not doing well at all, what world do you live in? Everyone including young children works dangerous slave labor all day in sweatshops, and even the elites in the CCP are dirt poor.

As an aside: Look up Polly Adler. She ran a very swanky whore house and FDR was a customer. He’d apparently lie on a bed while two of her hottest girls would give him the works. Polly was famous for discretion and got a huge chunk of cash to bolster her silence. No pics because obviously the Secret Service was there. So, yeah he was a normal man who like beautiful tail .

No surprise she was a jew!

Of Russian-Jewish origin, Pearl Adler was the eldest of nine children of Gertrude Koval and Morris Adler, a tailor who travelled throughout Europe on business. Her early education was from the village rabbi
