Lets calculate victims of capitalist catastrophe in the US.US population increase:1920~1930: +17M1930~1940: +9M1940~1950: +19M1950~1960: 28M1930~1940 shuld b 18M increase. 9M mustve starved or died abnormally during Great Depression.

Fucking baaaaaaased. How the hell was he ever allowed to make a Hollywood movie???
I guess I've reas autobiographies of people living through the time. Malcolm X's childhood as a black kid in a rural place still rang the same even if it was technically after by less than a decade, it wasn't ended overnight and certainly not if you were black. I think a big thing as well is that a lot of people who would have been of the age and in the places materially to write about the horrors of the depression, they either got killed in ww2 or those horrors kinda took over.
