I've exhausted every search string I can think of, but google is so completely useless. Unless I'm not remembering it correctly, it was a letter from a completely disenfranchised dust bowl farmer to the American president during the great depression stating "I vow to do everything in my power to bring about communism."

I swear I've read this multiple times, but can't find it on hexbear, reddit, or anywhere.

Would really appreciate if someone could help me find the source, original, or even a partial quote. Thank you.

    I haven't gotten to the source yet, but this is the quote (CW: :reddit-logo: )

    E) Also for anyone else searching in the future, specifying "Indiana Farmer" makes it easier to find.

    @Leon_Grotsky got the quote, the source is:

    The American People in the Great Depression: Freedom from Fear, Part One by David M. Kennedy

        You're welcome, I had forgotten about the quote but it really got me riled up a few years ago. The book is on Libgen, of course.
