Maybe they are scared that if they mentioned this, right wingers and republicans might start questioning whether America was actually correct or not during ww2.

They're a little nervous about doing this because FDR was a Democratic Socialist, which is why the country was economically damaged by him dragging out the depression, why he committed ethnic cleansings, why he tried to pack the courts, why he tried to monopolize the media, why he worked directly with the mob, why he basically suspended constitutional law, why he seized gold, why he murdered union protestors, why the country became a one-party state, why he created the pension ponzi scheme and linked it with mass registration, and why he seized control of the banking system and set up the GAE.
Progressives cite him all the time to explain why we should be a Socialist country, and how popular Democratic Socialism is.
The Neo-Liberals agree with what he did, but replicating it would be something that they are extremely lacking political capital for.
But the left likes all of those things.
Yes, but Fabian Socialists and Communists have been at each other's throats since the Fabians took over Berlin during the 1918 revolution, and let the Communists get killed.
The Neo-Liberals (Fabians) agree with what he did, but can't replicate it in a way that preserves their power. The Progressives (Communists) don't care if they lose power, they'll just kill whomever objects.
Despite what they say about "no bad tactics", they actually do have a lethal division of tactics that they will attack each other over.
