When I was a boy, my grandfather used to explain to me how Roosevelt and the Democrats were anti-capitalist fascists. Modern Democrats like Obama and Clinton are still fascists. If you don't believe that, just listen to their rhetoric as they say that individual rights must be subordinated to the common good, and call for more authoritarian policies. Most people don't seem to understand what a fascist is because of the successful Democrat and MSM characterization of Republicans as fascists. Historians are beginning to tell the truth about Roosevelt, as in Amity Shlaes book, "The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression."
Here is a comment I got from "coyote blog:"
I have elaborated a number of times on the parallels between the National Recovery Act and Mussolini-style fascism, as well as the frank admiration Roosevelt had for what Mussolini was doing in Italy.
David Boaz goes into much more detail
Roosevelt himself called Mussolini “admirable” and professed that he was “deeply impressed by what he has accomplished.” The admiration was mutual. In a laudatory review of Roosevelt’s 1933 book Looking Forward, Mussolini wrote, “Reminiscent of Fascism is the principle that the state no longer leaves the economy to its own devices.…Without question, the mood accompanying this sea change resembles that of Fascism.”
The chief Nazi newspaper, Volkischer Beobachter, repeatedly praised “Roosevelt’s adoption of National Socialist strains of thought in his economic and social policies” and “the development toward an authoritarian state” based on the “demand that collective good be put before individual self-interest.”
