@schakalsynthetc Change that to 'communist/fascist' and I'll agree. -

@St_Rev wrt FDR, tho, I meant more that it was a goal of the New Deal to head off US commies by giving them enough of they wanted to > -
@schakalsynthetc Same with von Bismarck and the socialists! Nobody'd accuse Otto of BEING a socialist, though! -
