His New Deal involves such collective controls of the national business that it would be absurd to call it anything but socialism, were it not for a prejudice lingering on from the old individualist days against that word...Both Roosevelt and Stalin were attempting to produce a huge, modern, scientifically organized, socialist state, the one out of a warning crisis and the other out of a chaos.” MenStatesWould BeAmericaDealsModernStageProduceHugePrejudiceCrisisDemocraticChaosSocialismAbsurdRealizationOrganizedGreat MenCollectivesWarningSocialistAttemptingFranklinGreat DepressionLingeringNew Deal Author:H.
