Just How Evil Was The New Deal? (Contra Mundum, Episode 30)

Most Americans catechized in the Regime historical narrative believe that the New Deal was a tremendously successful economic program that brought America out of the Great Depression and that FDR was the savior of America both with regard to the domestic economic disaster and the Second World War.

But to those who would depart from the approved court history, the New Deal was a radical political revolution that removed popular sovereignty from the elected legislature and established a managerial Regime, erecting a massive administrative state that actually governs the nation and discarding the constitutional republic that had existed since 1787. All that remained was a nominal constitution. Now, the actual political power is in the hands of legions of unelected bureaucrats and apparatchiks that have increasingly become a truly totalitarian regime.


Lafayette Lee (@Partisan_O) joins us to discuss the revolutionary change to the American republic that occurred in the middle of the 20th Century, and what it means for us now 90 years later.
