FDR: a socialist? NO!! (AUDIO ONLY)

There's been an uptick of social democrats who are espousing the belief that FDR was a socialist and that his policies were leftist in nature. This video pushes against this notion using specific examples from history. This video represents only my informed opinion, thank you.

The special episode of the Turning Tides podcast is the audio only version of a video posted on our YouTube channel located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuoOYVtdq-w This episode covers the role of socialists and communists in preserving the union and ending enslavement across the c0untry. Specifically, I use the example of August Willich, a Union Civil War general who was also a communist who believed Marx was too conservative.

Turning Tides: Palestine will cover the period from 30,000 B.C.E. to Present, in which Palestine tries to maintain its diversity and cultural heritage, while being ravaged by the effects of colonization, settler-colonialism, and the violent weaponization of religious text to force conversion and assimilation. The fourth episode, Romans, will cover the period from 135 C.E. to 638, in which the Western Empire falls and the Eastern Empire holds, while Christianity becomes the dominant religion in Palestine.If you'd like to donate or sponsor the podcast, our PayPal is @TurningTidesPodcast1, or you can donate to us through our Buy Me a Coffee link: buymeacoffee.com/theturningtidespodcast.
