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.
