People lie:
Hitler DID meet with Jessie Owens.
*FDR* was unwilling.
Interpolation of Jules Archer’s “The Plot to Seize the White House” (the Wall St. Plot) and Carroll Quigley’s “Tragedy & Hope”:
Fascism is the political manifestation of the period of economic history known as Monopoly Capitalism.
The greatest cartel today is the Socials. They are today’s Fascist Backers.
BUMP
I remember my father always telling me that FDR was a commie and Joseph Stalin’s puppet.
He told me that Stalin had him create social security as a way of implementing communism in the USA.
I think he may have been right.
Read years ago that early in his presidency FDR was proudly proclaimed “the American Mussolini”
But can’t find any reference to that on the internet these days.

Roosevelt’s naivete and/or willing blindness re Stalin were staggering in their stupidity.
Patton, though apparently an insufferable @hole, was right on the money in ‘45.
Trump is shredding government regulations of industry. He's the opposite of a fascist.
Fascism and Nazism are two sides of the same coin.
Fascism is characterized by central control of the economy with the illusion of private ownership of industry but all under direct control of the state.
Why would you need two companies making widgets when Company A over there makes perfectly fine widgets.....?
Sadly, the movie Death of a Nation is a complete flop, struggling in about 300 theaters after opening in more than 1000. Even by the standards of documentaries...
I think the title detracts from the substance of the article. Certainly Benito and Adolf were aware of the similarities of their respective economic systems to FDR’s New Deal and it was in their interest to praise the similarities. And, no doubt, FDR’s people looked on Benito’s Italy with some admiration. However, I do not think you could find much praise from FDR’s people for Herr Hitler’s NSDAP.
German national socialism and the Italian fascism were two distinct ideologies. Their economic programs were similar — opposed to free markets, private ownership and management of industry, and every aspect of individualism — but their objectives were different. For one thing, German national socialism was far more anti-Christian and was obsessed with Aryan superiority and the enslavement and/or eradication of human beings they thought inferior, especially Jews, Roma, and Slavs. Italian fascism expressly supported the Roman Catholic Church as being integral to the Italian fascist project and expressly opposed any persecution of the Jews. (It wasn’t until after Nazi control in 1943 that the Holocaust came to Italy.)
Though you’d be hard pressed to find any praise from FDR for Hitler’s national socialism, John Maynard Keynes wrote that his general economic theory was particularly well suited for Hitler’s ideology in the forward to the German translation of Keynes’ magnum opus. Indeed, the economics of German national socialism, Italian fascism, and FDR’s NRA are almost indistinguishable.
In fact, Vatican City exists as a State today, thanks to Mussolini.
