It’s not a shocking statement if you know history. FDR was a pretty thoroughgoing Socialist Dictator. It took his death to remove him from office. He chose an outright pro-Soviet Communist as his VP in 1940, Henry Wallace. Anyone that can’t see that the Democrat party was hijacked by the Socialist left in 1896 and was generally sympathetic to every Socialist-Communist dictatorship from 1912-onwards just isn’t paying attention. Look at the two decades from 1933-53 that Communists got well embedded into the government. Even Eisenhower, whose father was a Socialist, stood by and did little to stop the infiltration and was more concerned about whistleblowers (McCarthy) than exposing and removing them from government, the diplomatic corps and other aspects of society.
The only difference between Bernie Sanders and FDR/Wilson, is that he’s being a lot more open and honest about their end goals of Socialist-Marxist dystopia.
Even Eisenhauer! Sigh....
I appreciate your reminders.
Apparently, socialism has never been too far from the surface, even in America. I knew these details, but had not thought about them recently.
