The Cold War and the New Deal

If truman hadn't been roosevelt's successor could we have avoided the cold war? Could we have won a real social democracy that created a material basis for something other than a reactionary middle class. Or was the right wing bitage inevitable? Absolutely, but this is how historical causation works. As time progresses, as i said, doors close, branches are snipped. And it means at the number of contingencies that can be pushed in one direction by concerted action go away.
