    The New Deal was passed in the USA in the 1930s not because it’s exactly what the people asked for but because the American labor unions and Communist Party were strong, and they were pushing a much more egalitarian agenda. The New Deal was the compromise to keep Capitalism as the dominant form of labor relations. Now a days in America it seems like the Capitalists have to compromise with, at worst… Chuck Schumer.
