What's your opinion of FDR's EXPLICIT warning AGAINST public sector unions?

Because the unions fight for their wants, not the needs of the people, and the people are the company. It is a conflict because all government employees should be for what is best for the country. It invites corruption because unions are also political organizations and want more power.

Because like all liberals, FDR wanted to ameliorate the worst excesses of capitalism, so as not to provoke rebellion, and maybe even to forestall one. He wanted to hire the millions of people on the streets of Depression-slammed America for government projects, to stop the rising left. There was genuine radical sentiment in the country.

America's wealthy owners were scared. They went with the "send more grits and bacon to the slaves" strategy ("liberalism") rather than the "beat 'em harder and tell 'em it's good for them" strategy ("conservatism"). FDR certainly didn't want to actually give working people any POWER.

Neither the bacon faction nor the whip faction would want THAT. But if there hadn't been some drastic social welfare reforms, FDR would have probably been the last president of the United States. My guess is he only went along grudgingly, and personally opposed the idea of civil service unions, for another reason besides abstract politics -- because he was interested in his own personal power, as the executive running those departments and agencies whose workers were becoming union.

I don't recall anyone, liberal, conservative, radical, heck, ANYONE who ever said FDR wasn't first and primarily interested in the highest possible power status for FDR.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
