“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore." - AR Moxon

There are a disturbing number of parallels between modern T**** voters and Germany during the Rise of the 3rd Reich.

After the Stock Market Crash of 1929 triggered a Global Depression, the world followed two paths: #FDR's socialism & #Hitler's #Fascism.

The difference from today is that the economic hardship of the 1930's to bring about the rise of #Fascism was REAL.

In 2024, the #economic hardship was manufactured and hyped by the man who caused it, blaming his successor. 😒

calling FDr's policy "socialism" is quite a stretch.
Apparently, everything that is not close to pure capitalism is socialism.

What FDR did, was much more social than what happened before and after.
But it's certainly not socialism.

1) If you are take issue with the word "Socialism", you don't know what the word means.

2) I said "*FDR's* socialism", which wasn't to turn the United States into an European Socialist country.

3) You didn't take issue with my use of "#Fascism" to describe Hitler's gov't... which *also* wasn't "pure fascism". You can't pick & choose which description you choose to nitpick.

Well, the "FDR socialism" is nothing but a slightly less cruel version of capitalism. It's still a longshot from being socialism.
Even what we have in northern europe right now is much more social then what FDR did - and even that is still far away from what qualifies as socialism,

And if what Hitler did is not as close to pure fascism as it can get in reality, then I don't know what else could be.

FDR created DOZENS of new gov't agencies to provide services no private organization could.

Hitler didn't hand every gov't program over to private industry. His gov't directed private industry, not the other way around (which would be pure #fascism.)
