A lot of people are dismissive of Roosevelt simply because he's old money. Socialists dream that he should have gone further left. If he didn't genuinely cared, business leaders would not have tried to coup him. I read somewhere that someone overheard a rich woman call FDR a class traitor. The Bretton Woods Agreement which he had drawn up did not invite any businesses for opinions. And it's not groundbreaking to say that FDR wasn't fully bringing America into socialism. All that shows FDR has only gone as far left as anyone could accept at the time.
