The economy was collapsing, and both major parties were working together to save it through the only means available, partial nationalization of banks. Libertarians were screaming bloody murder and demanding to leave the markets alone. I.e. if the markets say the economy must collapse and millions of Americans must die, who are we to argue?!

You are someone who doesn't oppose corruption and support the free market. If people trust big banks and they make risky investments and it crushes everyone the government must not step in. They all took those risks and the free market must take its course so that the big banks can't rely on the government as they had been doing up to that point.

So libertarians are not that bad, communists are just uneducated, and Nazis are actually bad.
