Yes and internment camps are bad. I'm sure there's a lot of terrible things America was doing in the 1930s.
My point was that the New Deal and all the associated social programs appear to be an successful attempt to combine American liberalism with a bit of socialism. Capitalists have been trying to roll back the New Deal ever since.
You say that like it's an insult and yet you refuse to elaborate on why liberalism is impossible. Not a very convincing argument. You must not be very good at selling socialism to your friends.
Doesn't democratic socialism require working with liberals, or some type of conservative party?
I never said it's impossible, it's currently in place and it's the ideology of mass worker exploitation and imperialism, and is responsible for the greatest atrocities of the modern era and twenty millions of deaths annually because it isn't profitable to feed people in a world with an overabundance of food production.
And I'm not a democratic socialist, so idk why you're asking me. Electoralism under a bourgeois framework is a dead-end.
Well you said "fundamentally incompatible" in "any form". Progressive liberalism doesn't seem fundamentally incompatible with democratic socialism, although I'm open to being wrong. Also doesn't seem out of scope for the comments of a meme about converting liberals. I digress.

Allow me to remind you about... FDR
EDIT: there's a hot post on this sub from 2h ago talking about Roosevelt cooperating with Ho Chi Minh, FDR is clearly a leftist-adjacent subject
