There were Communist and Socialist movements in the US during the 1930s, but they tended to be subverted by the New Deal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One such movement was the leftist campaign of the famous literary muckraker Upton Sinclair, for Governor of California!. His campaign's name, "End Poverty In California, had the acronym "EPIC," which reminded one of a spectacular Hollywood motion picture!.

Franklin D!. Roosevelt's "New Deal" platform was designed to appeal to leftists, too!. That got Roosevelt a lot of votes from people that would otherwise have voted for the Socialist candidate, Norman Thomas!.

A rural populist radical movement in the Depression was that of Louisiana Governor Huey Long!.

that advocated the program that was later called "Social Security!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
