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
