La democrazia è scomparsa in diverse grandi nazioni, non perché le persone di quelle nazioni non amino la democrazia, ma perché si sono stancate della disoccupazione e dell'insicurezza, di vedere i loro figli affamati mentre stavano impotenti di fronte alla confusione ed alla debolezza del governo causata da mancanza di leadership... infine, nella disperazione, hanno scelto di sacrificare la libertà nella speranza di ottenere qualcosa da mangiare.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism — ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Message (1938-04-29) to Congress, On Curbing Monopolies

#Stalin gave people #healthcare. #Liberals have been promising to give us healthcare since #FDR & have failed to deliver on that promise for 9 decades.
And when you dare get mad at them about this & bring this up, there's always some excuse why it can't ever be done.
Why am I supposed to believe after nearly a century that #Democrats will EVER follow through on this promise?

The Zhi Zhu post (attached) is one of the most important messages of the past week. Franklin Roosevelt saw the Hitler threat long before the American public did. FDR needed to do the groundwork for American intervention, which, by the way, started long before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. US history is filled with major examples. Right now, according to public opinion polling, the American public is not with us on Gaza. We need Capitol Hill "leadership" to lead on this issue and many others and we positively are not getting it. It has been altogether too convenient to just slide along while Bernie Sanders says what needs to be said. Young or not so young, we need a new group of Democratic politicians who do not leave their spines at home.

We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all citizens, whatever their background. We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
There is no question in my mind that it is time for the country to become fairly radical for a generation. History shows that where this occurs occasionally, nations are saved from revolution.

Today in Labor History June 2, 1919: Anarchist Galleanists carried out a series of 9 coordinated bombings across the Eastern United States. They damaged the homes of U.S. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, as well as then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt. They also targeted a number of judges. None of the targeted men died, although a night watchman, a former editor of the Galleanist publication “Cronaca Sovversiva,” did accidentally get killed. The bombs were delivered in packages that included the following note: “War, Class war, and you were the first to wage it under the cover of the powerful institutions you call order, in the darkness of your laws. There will have to be bloodshed; we will not dodge; there will have to be murder: we will kill, because it is necessary; there will have to be destruction; we will destroy to rid the world of your tyrannical institutions.”
The response by Palmer included mass illegal search and seizures, unwarranted arrests and the deportation of several hundred suspected radicals and anarchists. He also carried the nationwide witch hunts known as the Palmer raids in November 1919 and January 1920, arresting 10,000 anarchists, communists, and labor leaders, imprisoning 3,500, and deporting 556, including Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), was founded in response to the raid, by IWW organizer Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Helen Keller, and others.

This is taken from an #FDR speech from 1944. He won an unprecedented fourth term with these ideas. And we have utterly failed to see them through. Listen and think. We need a #JobGuarantee, #HousingGuarantee, and freedom from predatory #capitalism to achieve basic human dignity.
A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
The enemies of democracy are now trying, by every means, to destroy our unity. The chief weapon they now use against us is propaganda, propaganda that appeals to selfishness, that comes in ever increasing quantities, with ever increasing violence, from across the seas. And it is disseminated within our own borders by agents or innocent dupes of foreign powers.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
