yronic heroism posted:Johnson was of course a pro war centrist who ran largely on his opponent's nuttiness (sound familiar?). Beyond that his platform was the same Great Society stuff that Stevenson, Humphrey, Mondale, Carter and all the rest supported. But by all means let's gather round as Canadians tell us about a lost U.S. leftist party that never existed. Yeah, this. Leftism in America has always been largely reactionary to ongoing political and economic events: reacting to the depredations of Capitalism during the Great Depression, reacting to the allure/threat of Communism during the Cold War, reacting to racial unrest during the Civil Rights era, reacting now to the rise of Fascism. We routinely forget about the values of socialism (I'm including welfare statism here as well) pretty much the moment the immediate problem it was meant to solve is at least temporarily ameliorated.
