    Didn’t do enough? FDR literally boasted that he personally saved capitalism! He wasn’t trying to rein them in. He was protecting them! FDR’s administration created the concept of redlining at the federal level. Deliberate black poverty is part of his legacy.

          No worries. It takes messaging discipline not to alienate normie socialists from the revolutionary cause. Simply saying FDR wasn’t a true socialist doesn’t convince anybody even if it’s demonstrably true.

          You have to ease them into it.
