Who are some American politicians throughout history that you respect? Keep in mind that we're talking Americans here, so the vast majority of them aren't going to be commies
Who are some American politicians throughout history that you respect? Keep in mind that we're talking Americans here...
Ryder Brooks
Dominic Taylor
inb4 Huey Long too
Ethan Wright
That was easy
Caleb Anderson
Also why FDR? Was the New Deal any good?
Dominic Torres
Would pick Henry Wallace for a moment as FDR's veep from 40-44 as he tried to oppose the burgeoning Cold War. He ended up cucking later in life, though, so I'm going with Robert La Follette, senator from Wisconsin from 1906-1925. More Bernie-like in his day though but I'll take it.
Andrew Walker
PLOUGHSHARE GANG
Hunter Miller
The virgin Abraham Lincoln vs. the chad Thaddeus Stevens.
Or chad John C. Fremont.
Easton Martinez
Somehow didn't paste the plowshare part:
Jacob Reed
Huey Long, Debs, and Lincoln are the only acceptable answers.
Ryder Jenkins
The closest America has come to having a Platonic philosopher king
Parker Powell
the great cripple is the reason american capitalism is nearly impossible to kill
the lolbertards that caused the depression were making fantastic strides to popularize leftist politics in the US and this faggot had to ruin it
Brandon Howard
Based Huey and Debs are the only acceptable answers
Evan Wilson
out of all the non-socialists I like Huey Long
Bentley Davis
None. Look into each, youll see they had some opposition to someone's oppression, that they repressed with an equally projective oppression in reciprocative process upon those willing to be same. I AM FREE.
Jason White
Eugene Debs
Huey Long
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Henry Wallace (Before he became a cuck.)
John C. Fremont
Charles Sumner
Thaddeus Stevens
Benjamin Butler
Liam Evans
Its almost done if youve been inspecting properly, and almost finished when youre coincidentally stalking me, godbless the user who walks in me.
Josiah Smith
What about Fred Hampton and Daniel De Leon?
Hudson Peterson
Thomas Paine was basically the reason I got into leftism
Robert Bailey
Jack Reed unironically (before Kaiserreich autism) and have some respect for Ema Goldman.
Connor Murphy
Eh you can't really pick activists ITT
Juan Nelson
This. FDR saved capitalism when he could've let it be destroyed.
Matthew Phillips
It's not his fault. The DNC cucked him and forced warmonger and anti-communist Harry S. Truman to be his vice rather than Henry Wallace. If Henry Wallace inherited the presidency from FDR, the New Deal would've kept expanding and we'd have socialism by now.
Justin Barnes
The Kingfish himself.
Regardless of the more shady aspects to him, I do not think there has ever been a notable burger politician since him that has actually really given a damn about trying to improve the plight of the poor and the general state of the nation.
Long's policies expose the likes of Sanders and Corbyn for the milquetoast liberals and agents of the status quo that they really are.
Aiden Cruz
No. We’d have a social democratic United States. It’s highly possible an American “Labor Party” could be popular though with neo-liberalism completely floundering
Isaiah Jackson
He's british tho.
Sebastian Williams
FDR didn't end the great depression, it was WWII
Alexander Cook
Meme, without FDR's "bank holidays" there never would have been any economic recovery whatsoever forn atleast for a decade and a half.
Dominic Hughes
There was a major fascist movement in the U.S. at the same time though. Not sure the communists would have won that battle.
Nicholas Peterson
Does pic related count as a politician? Everyone remembers him for opposing wars and exposing the business plot, but he did run for senate
Tyler Hernandez
Thomas Paine was not a politician. He was more like a blogger that no one during the time period liked (especially in America.) This idea that he was some kind of intellectual forebear of the American "revolution" is absurd.
James Robinson
All Socialists should admire the founding fathers. They were proto socialists.
Anthony Jones
Thomas Jefferson was just plagiarizing Locke.
Julian Stewart
shut the fuck up.
