Are you denying that roosevelt was a fascist? Funnily enough that's exactly what pro-roosevelt authoritarians would do.

And no, I don't get my political analysis from right wingers but I know full well that for some people - left wing fascists - anything they don't like is 'right wing'.

Although his fellow "upper class twits" called Roosevelt a Class Traitor and Bolshevik, and organized a coup against him (the "Business Plot"). But his policies actually were "good for Business" and his performance in dragging the U.S. into WWII do qualify him for the "fascist" designation. That label fits every President before or since, to a greater or lesser but usually greater extent, if I recall correctly. But as an anarchist, I don't give half a shit what labels fit which rulers; I do prefer economic policies that redistribute wealth - therefore power - down the social hierarchy somewhat. Others may view the world in single digit binary terms, rejecting as worthless /any/ but their own ideal solutions, perfectly and uniformly implemented. That's only a small part of the definition of Fascism, so I will refrain from calling names on account of it. Juan. ROTFLMAO :o)
