America was a proto-superpower in 1890, arguably 1870.
FDR, intentionally or not, set into motion events which railroaded America into Brazil: cold edition

The US was the largest economy in the world by the 1880s, the Spanish-American war cemented the United States as a global power with sufficient force projection to topple old European colonial powers. By 1900 you could already argue the US was a Superpower

Please explain how a dead man made the nationalists incapable of land reform?
or How FDR could have from the grave defeated the soviet union. I dont think you retards understand how tired the US was at the end of the war. US high command was worried we wouldnt be able to finish japan unconditionally.
Being wrong about everything you write is some kind of backwards achievement i guess.

Britain was a superpower it had interests all over the world. It owned part of Central and South America for example. America's power was limited to the Americas and the Pacific. Not really global. It had money but at that point still not the military might. It only got that later

It's simple, he forced the ruling class to share a tiny minuscule amount of their wealth and make the average American slightly less miserable. That is a sin that can never be forgiven or forgotten in the eyes of the elite. During his actual lifetime he was viewed almost as an actual God by an overwhelming majority of Americans, but the tiny minority of the rich who hated him REALLY fucking hated him. And since they own the media (Who else would own it? People too poor to own anything else?) they have spent the last 70 years putting all their efforts into spitting on his name so that no one can ever save them from themselves ever again. FDR "hate" among real humans didn't really start till the people who were actually alive under his administration started to die off in the 80's and 90's.

Universal basic income sounds like a decent approach. Combined with affordable housing, can eliminate homelessness. Human decency prevails. Only problem at that point is people wasting their income on drugs. Common sense is all that is needed.

>depression prolonged to 1937
the idea FDR solved the great depression is a myth the FeDeRal government promotes in FeDeRally funded public schools to brainwash the population into believing expanding FeDeRal control over the economy benefits the people

I think he's an amazing political figure and probably the only American president that will be remembered by common people in 1000 years. But the gold thing really rustles my jimmies and I have no interest in defending him. Regardless hating on FDR (unlike Wilson or even Nixon) is like hating on property taxes as like a concept rather than just how and why it is so flawed now. It's a thing morons do whose ideas and beliefs won't age well.
Ebbs and flows, etc.

>and struggling to keep inflation under control
Inflation is mostly under control, even the worst cases of inflation during the pandemic are nothing compared to when postwar inflation peaked in the late 70s and early 80s

He literally quintupled the income tax on the working and middle class while only modestly increasing tax rates Hoover set (which tripled the upper class tax under the Coolidge administration). FDR also was explicitly pro-monopoly on the basis of his economic theory that competition = redundancy = inefficiency, and created a Brain Trust full of some of the biggest corporate leaders/lobbyists.

My favorite LBJ moment is when he forced Americans to sell their gold at a fixed rate to the government. Then, the price of gold doubled, so the government doubled their gains!!! Ha ha, we did it guys, FDR is making our lives sooo much better!!!
pro tip: the only people that like FDR have no idea what he actually did
