He's certainly not to the Left of FDR and Roosevelt accurately claimed that his greatest accomplishment was, "Saving Capitalism." We face similar problems today in the US and throughout the world.

In the US we've just conveniently redefined political terms to fit the narrative of those in power. This has been done successfully throughout history.
