Holding views that are fatal to modern society while enjoying its benefits… So hot right now! Maybe they’ll keep the dead half-husk of democracy that has all their stuff!

    Why was Roosevelt’s Workers Bill of Rights too radical and reasonable to oppose? I’ll even go further, what was “so far left”, that it was ever reasonable to oppose it and be a centrist?

    to wit: an “economic bill of rights” to guarantee these specific rights:

    Employment (right to work[notes 1])
    An adequate income for food, shelter, and recreation
    Farmers' rights to a fair income
    Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies
    Decent housing
    Adequate medical care
    Social security
    Education
