Hmmm, I'm not sure what I'd say to that, because it's tough to quantify exactly what saved civilization, what the Koch brand is, and what the New Deal brand is. Overall, I'd say the idea of private enterprise is at the heart of it, and that's something the Koch brand endorses, regardless if they know how to fully implement it or sustain it. As for the New Deal, I need to learn far more about it to say for sure, but I do think a lot of the props it gets for things like solving the Great Depression were really solved by monetary policy of the Fed

My point about the Kochs was more about showing that in their worldview, they really are the defenders of justice. The populace makes them out to be greedy scoundrels, and it doesn't do any good because they and those who think like them don't do it for greedy scoundrel reasons. It's like this for many of the wealthy business class in the country, but I recall reading a long ass biographical article on the Kochs specifically that went into great detail of how extremely anti-communist they are and how it influences their view of everything else. While it isn't true that the ACA is communist, they think it is because the battle against communism was easily boxed into a battle against government intervention in the economy, for example.
