Corporate Socialism under FDR
""Corporate socialism under FDR" — the framing that cuts through both liberal mythology (FDR as benevolent tinkerer) and libertarian mythology (FDR as socialist villain).
From the streams
On the New Deal's overthrow (TRUE RED PILL NEWS stream): "A whole generation of new money emerges in the post-war period bypassing central government U.S. regulations through the City of London. This is where neoliberalism comes from, where Reaganomics comes from. Basically, the New Deal was overthrown by this new class... We're talking about a new generation of the ruling class."
And the Manifesto standard (RED PILL NEWS | FREE PALESTINE stream): industrial armies for agriculture, abolition of town-country distinction — "FDR maybe did 20% of that; since then we haven't had anything like that."
The point
The American state socialized the commanding heights in fact (planning, coordination, control) while leaving bourgeois property forms as shell — Engels' trusts realized on American soil. What remains contested is only who commands it: the people or the financial oligarchy (New Deal, We already live in socialism).
