FDR took a depression and by implimenting his Marxist diatribe, stretched it out 5-6 years more than if Hoover had stayed in office.

Good point. University economics studies have more or less proved this, no?

Had Hoover remained in office we would have had a real chance of a Marxist uprising. Its amazing to see how people are blind to the fact that Hoover had 3 years to deal with the Depression and failed miserably as the nation's morale slipped deeper and deeper into despair...

Diatribe ? I think you mean "dialectic".

I'm not so sure about that myself. Hoover advocated many of the same policies that FDR implemented. It was just that Hoover could not get those ideas through Congress while FDR did.
