You are stubbornly defending a narrow point when you should be informing yourself about a broader subject. That subject would be the tremendous aid and assistence that FDR gave Stalion before and during WWII. FDR's administration and inner circle were rife with Communists and Communists sympathizers, including his wife Eleanor. Educate yourself.
Now you are attempting to change the subject to one not in dispute. FDR simply WAS NOT comparable to Stalin in ANY sense. Whatever his intentions, faults, misunderstandings he did not MURDER millions of his fellow Americans. He did not unjustly IMPRISON tens of millions in slave labor camps. He did not starve to death millions as a deliberate policy. And to claim any other basis for such an equation is simply falsehood.
Apparently you believe it new information that there were Commies working for the Roosevelt administration. Or that I would learn about such an astounding thing that is entirely unknown to me. It is hardly something unknown or in dispute. These things are commonly known.
Rhetorical overkill such as equating FDR to Stalin is almost always destructive of the argument being made by those who resort to such silly lies.
Criticism of FDR can be made on firm truths there is no need to resort to outright lies.
You say that are not comprabable in ANY sense, and the caps were yours, meaning you intended to accent that. They were definitely similar in their affinity for Communism and Roosevelt definitely helped Stalin survive and stay in power. To try to stretch what I said into insinuating that Roosevelt murdered millions is childish.
