Like, Roosevelt broke up monopolies, for instance. That stuff was insufficient, but it was SOMETHING. Unlike now, where they just let capitalists do whatever they want.

Marx said that part of the growth of the proletariat would be organizing itself to the extent that it could extract concessions from the bourgeois state. Meanwhile the progressive petty bourgeois elements had a lot to gain from the breakup of monopolies, the nationalization of certain industries, and the expanding of democracy.
Today the American proletariat is weak and divided. The petty bourgeois has turned sour and reactionary without the leadership of the workers. The largest uprising in decades (2020) saw a single police station burned down and some windows smashed. What does the bourgeoisie have to fear?
