Think about the fact that in the entire history of the u.s. the largest, most varied, and most militant left movement occurred in one of the most prosperous decades in the history of the country.
The assumption that misery radicalizes is a myth existing in the minds of racials who are themselves in fairly good shape. The French and Russian revolutions both occurred during upswings in the economy of those nations. The radicalism of the 1930s is greatly over-estimated; the '60s are greatly underestimated by leftists who look at them through sectarian eyes.
