The '''New Deal''' was Franklin D. Roosevelt's program of state-led industrial recovery, social provision, and class compromise (1933–1945) — the high-water mark of the American System tradition and proof that America's own political tradition, imported Marxism aside, contained the resources for socializing the economy.
"'''"The New Deal''' appears in Haz's streams through the '''new class thesis''' its overthrow as the origin of neoliberalism.

Infrared claims the New Deal as '''American socialism avant la lettre''' — not a betrayal of capitalism but its sublation by the American state tradition of Hamilton, Clay, and Lincoln (the [[American System]] of protective tariffs, national banking, and internal improvements). FDR himself said in 1944 that true liberty required an "Economic Bill of Rights." The post-war settlement high wages, strong unions, industrial peace — was the closest Anglo-America came to class peace until the neoliberal counter-revolution dismantled it from the 1970s onward.


The lesson Haz draws: the American people accept and demand economic patriotism and social provision when it is presented in American idiom. The task is not to import a foreign ideology but to complete what the New Deal started under conditions of monopoly decay (see [[Corporate Socialism under FDR]], [[Left-Conservatism]]).

And this is where neoliberalism comes from. This is where Reaganomics comes from. Basically, the New Deal was overthrown by this new class...

When you think about this as a war between ideologies rather than conflicting material interests, it makes a lot more sense — because materially, not much has changed since Obama."

The analysis

  • Neoliberalism is not the ruling class's eternal nature but a factional victory within it: the post-war generation routing around New Deal regulation via London finance.
  • The ideology outlives the material arrangement: Obama carries New Deal rhetoric while presiding over its negation — which is why "ideology vs. material interest" confusion paralyzes normal analysis (Anglo Box).
  • The Manifesto planks read on stream (RED PILL NEWS | FREE PALESTINE stream) — industrial armies for agriculture, abolition of town-country distinction — with the verdict "FDR maybe did 20% of that; since then we haven't had anything like that" (World Land Bridge).
