Hmmm. Very interesting. In my family, my grampa was asked to leave home at about fourteen in the Depression because there were too many mouths to feed, and he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, and then the Army, and spent '43 and '44 in France and Germany. Not a word was ever spoken about any of this unemployed commie shit in our household, and when gramps woke up every day he would loudly bark,
Organizing the unemployed, then and now
Hunger, homelessness, and evictions were features of the Great Depression in the United States. Jobs disappeared and working conditions deteriorated. Some “250,000 teenagers were on the road.” And how many others? By 1933 one-third of farm families had lost their farms.cpusa.org
"Let us then be up and doing with a heart for any fate;
Still acheiving, still persuing, learn to labor, and to wait."
(waking up everyone else in the house)
Which I learned much later was a portion of a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Grampa was hardcore, but he didn't like commies OR nazis.
