ROTFLMAO!~The one constant factor, from President Wilson until now, is the left / Democrats despise federalism. That is the part of the Constitution they want taken out.Not how I see it all---
Communist? What part of Communism did they espouse? Hatred for the bourgeoisie? How attentive to the dialectic were they?
Technically, they..mostly FDR, introduced some Socialist elements into our Govt. I think socialism is like salt..a little is good..a lot spoils everything.
Are we going that way? Maybe--maybe not.
How does the fact that they tried...a little...to do something for the good of the little guy--Anti-Constitution? You meant to say, Anti-my view-Constitution, right?
The progressive left want an all powerful federal government to be run by them, the smart people, who will be empowered to instruct the nation on what to do, how to live, and how to spend the people's money for them.. The political elites believe the average American is not to be trusted to live their lives as they see fit. They need government bureaucrats and politicians to do that for them.
The regressive right want an all powerful federal government (that they will inists is SMALLER government) to be run by them, the righteous, who will be empowered to instruct the nation on what to do, how to live, and how to spend the people's money.
The conservative elites believe that the average American is not to be trusted to live their lives as they see fit. That is why they will impose BIGGER GOVERNMENT laws against gays, atheists, muslims, wiccans, feminists and pot
So, the real take-away is that everyone wants power...and they find that power concentrated in a manageable Federal system to be the most useful form.
State's Rights are given lip service by both parties..when they have an issue...and ignored by both parties..when they have an issue.
I think a lot of things should be a State issue..legalization of weed...minimum wage....education. Other things need to be Federal. Civil Rights...Immigration....Defense.
