If he had controlled politics, he would have gotten the US into an alliance with Hitler.

How was FDR a totalitarian?

In all respects, the same as Stalin.

I see you have nothing to support your allegations, thread fails.

I'm not going to prove anything to fools, everyone knows that. FDR did the same as Stalin. Collective farms, confiscation of gold, planned economy and so on.

You seem to be bereft of any knowledge about FDR.

If one controls politics - it's foremost meant to make $$, to get illegal and immoral business done, and not taking over, or running politics by oneself.

Ford like many others, harbored anti-Semitic feelings - that does not mean that an anti-Semite consents or supports genocide towards Jews.
Ford however saw the Nazi party as a guarantor towards an industrial and economic power house called Germany, just as before WWI - a great place to make $$$

Upon Hitler declaring war onto the Soviet-Union (the latter backed by huge military US supplies) it was clear to him that Hitler would not win this war - but would ultimately destroy the chances of a prosperous Germany - not even to mention the Austrian nutjob, declaring war against Fords own country.

No. The feds does not care about the money, they print it themself. Money is only for the common people.

Now you want to babble about Ford or the Fed?

All corporations in a totalitarian state are subordinate to the state. If Ford could pursue an independent policy, then there was a split in the United States and FDR controlled only part of the policy. Probably the United States at that time did not exist at all as a single state.

Off course FDR never controlled ALL the politics, no President in a democratic country ever did, or ever will - he personally wanted desperately to declare war onto the Nazis.
Thanks to Imperial Japan and the Austrians war deceleration - one of his many political visions or ambitions actually became true.

Corporations prefer despotism.

Just look at the world today to see that.

After all, corporations are a government creation, just mini governments there to control industry and the people.

In August 1934, American oil giant Standard Oil purchased 730,000 acres of land in Germany and built large oil refineries that supplied the Nazis with oil. At the same time, the United States secretly provided Germany with the most modern equipment for airplane factories, which would soon produce German aircraft. Germany received a large number of patents from American firms Pratt and Whitney, Douglas, and the Bendix Corporation, and the “Junker-87” dive-bomber was built using purely American technology. By 1941, when the second world war was in full-swing, American investment in the German economy totaled $475 million, Standard Oil invested $120 million alone, General Motors — $35 million, ITT — $30 million, and Ford — $17.5 million.

The intimate financial and economic collusion between Anglo-American and Nazi businessman was the backdrop against which the policy of appeasement to the aggressor took place – leading directly to World War II.

Which is why FDR threarened to put all of them in prison . But the Deep State still found ways to get round the rules and Ford even used Auschwitz prisoners as effective slave labour.

Hitler wasn't the enemy during the 30's. Old Joe Kennedy supported the Nazis while he was ambassador to G.B.
