William Engdahl crushes conventional thought about the success of the new deal, and gives insights into its communist roots. Considering the historical account of the new deal, we see the demonization of capitalism and a drastic move toward a communist collective society by a Messianic FDR.

Communism, born of Lenin's Russia, is also shown to be the birth of the progressive movement that is being perpetrated in our democrat party today. Communism was the cause of the recent financial meltdown of Russia, and we are in the grips of the final days of its failure in our country as well. Its has been shown to be a failed system of government time and time again, yet the power hungry among us looking to satisfy their lust for power, continue to resurrect it under the name of democracy.

The bastardizing of our constitutional republic, I believe began with FDR. If we are to return to this republic, we must first find how we got to this out of control, bankrupt federal government that has little resemblance to our constitutional republic Once we identify how we got here, then hopefully we can find our way back to the freedom and prosperity given to us by our founding fathers in the form of this republic.

Execerts from Engdahl's Some Convential Reflections on the Great Depression and the new Deal

A careful reading of Roosevelt's First Inaugural is revealing for how openly it lays out the social planning agenda of the small circle of his Brain Trust advisers at the onset of his New Deal. Roosevelt continued his Biblical analogy, which of course, implicitly places FDR in the role of Jesus who chased the money changers: "We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit. Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joys of achievement...The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits."

Had Roosevelt not ended his Presidency as a victorious war President, he would instead be remembered as the President whose policies all but ruined the inherent economic vitality of the American economy for decades after.

In his Presidential acceptance speech in 1932, Roosevelt promised "a new deal for the American people." The term was taken from a 1932 book by the same name, "A New Deal," written by Stuart Chase. That book rapidly disappeared from the shelves after Roosevelt's election. Its contents were the currency of White House economic policy discussion by Tugwell and other central planners around the new President

Much of Chase's book was filled with fulsome praise for Stalin’s Russian model of central planning and its achievements, reflecting the fascination of numerous younger American intellectuals in the early 1930's.
