Well there was a very short couple of periods where it’s wasn’t perfect but better in at least some respects - one when Lincoln was president, and the other when FDR was in office and when the Warren Supreme Court was in session.
Things like the Rural Electricification Act and the right to an attorney even when you couldn’t afford one were passed during those brief windows of time…
Sure there were Japanese internment camps and black people were even worsely treated than they are now, but things were finally on track to be improving for non-rich moreso then than almost any other time in history at the time.
…But in general, yeah it’s always been the rich fucking us all over and they’ve never let up and never will.
Replaced by the ruling capitalistic class decades ago? When exactly have we ever not been ruled over by these people?

Without Francis Perkins in FDR’s ear he would have been another pro-capitalist, screw the working class politician
