  • I honestly don’t know anything about killing sparrows in China. I can’t speak to it like I can the New Deal, and it would be folly of me to try and brush up just to respond to your red herring.

    I don’t think you can even call them unintended consequences when it was big business that help shape those parts of the laws. The fact that they encouraged monopolies and price-fixing was entirely what the goal was. It was the administration’s poor attempt at appeasing the owner class because FDR was in a position that was forcing him to give the working class something for once.


  • Are you at all familiar with the subject at hand or just talking to talk?

    NIRA was an utter failure, considered both by the people that lived through it and historians because of the reasons I listed. So bad that it had to be repealed within 2 years. Like idk why you keep bringing up Mao dude.





  • Oo ooo, can I go next?

    FDR wasn’t the great working class champion he has been lionized as. The New Deal was a compromise that was a direct response to the working class organizing and beginning to make demands. It’s purpose was to mitigate the failings of capitalism, because the contradictions could never be directly addressed. Roosevelt sided with big business, in both agriculture and banking, that added speed to consolidation of corporations we are now fully having to deal with.
