While researching Raoul Desvernine's fascinating Democratic Despotism, I came across many sui generis takes on the New Deal era. He likens the New Dealers' posture toward their detractors as being one of like kind with Stalin, especially in regards to the desire to liquidate the "enemy class." He examines how, under the cover of democracy, the "outworn" structures of the past (i.e. trade, profit, tradition, tested and proven facts) are targets for elimination via the prophets of the new despotism. (With the New Dealers being "minor prophets.")

To quote New Deal "philosopher" Henry A. Wallace:

My generation wished the new generation would spend more time trying to build seaworthy vessels in which to reach a new world and less time bothering with the troglodytes, who are rapidly dying off, anyway.

Desvernine is immaculate in translating puffy phraseology into tyrannical intentions. The mechanism of the minor prophets, he says, is the central government. This he calls the "advocacy of the underlying principle of the Totalitarian State." Of the New Deal he says:

Certainly, the "Third Economy," the "New Frontiers," the "New Democracy," "Social Discipline," and the "New Order" most comprehensively "blue-print" a perfect and complete economic autocracy.

From his book comes these symbols of oppression.
