I agree that FDR implemented fascism but we absolutely reversed a bunch of stuff. We reversed his executive order for interning Japanese citizens. We reversed his mandatory ban and confiscation of Gold & Silver bullion. JFK slashed his insane tax rate. Wage, price, and trade union/commission controls were all eroded or done away with. A lot of the New Deal stuff was overturned at the time.
We have made some progress on different issues since the 1940's. I wouldn't be stacking silver if we hadn't.
I still wouldn't say that, though. In fact, a lot of people would shit on me for this, but I think that the US has been slowly moving away from Fabian Socialism since it's Zenith in the 40's. I think we're actually moving slowly, decade by decade, back towards Liberalism.
I would have said the biggest issue with FDR was the seizing of all private gold & silver reserves via executive order, and the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans without charge.
FDR implemented fascism in the US and we never reversed anything he did.

You're right. I didn't think that one through. We were still aggressively Keynesian before the wuflu though, and now we're more left than ever.

State backed corporations are openly funding socialist counter-revolutionaries, and you call that less progressive?
