    There is a left wing in the democratic party - it is possible to get organized and help it win over the conservative wing.

      Which Democrats do not support capitalism? There’s no such thing as a capitalism supporting left wing. Bernie is probably the closest thing, though not a Democrat, and even he is pro-capitalism.

          When has the US been post war? Edit: I understand what you’re sayimg now. And you’re looking for ethical capitalism, which is a weird thing to say. In other words, ethical-exploitation. Doesn’t seem like a real thing, yeah?

          The only reason FDR caved as much as he did is because the US had a strong communist presence. They’ve fixed that. Your longing for the past is akin to conservatism, no?

            Finally someone who gets that the New Deal was nothing more than a concession to keep the people appeased while the rest of the state apparatus systematically dismantled the “communist threat” and the very foundations that allowed the growing unrest to manifest into effect resistance over the decades to come.
