      It is a shame what happend. I like Truman very much, but Henry Wallace would have been much more progressive. Maybe no Korean war, No dropping of Atomic Bombs. Truman did desegregate the military and was vilified for it and did many other good things like the Marshall plan. We can only imagine.

      Agreed. I just watched episode 3 of the untold history of the united states and wow. Chilling stuff. Now I see Truman as the worst president ever and what might have been if this man had been VP. So much death and hardship could have been avoided. Plus he wasn't a racist bastard like those Truman and those who pulled his strings.
      Depressing stuff really but I'll probably keep watching the series anyways and become more perturbed by it. But it is history and should be known.

    Henry A Wallace was probably one of the most progressive and liberal politicians ever. He wanted equal pay for men and women in 1948. Wanted Civil rights in 1948. He was the initial candidate for the 1948 presidential election until the backroom deals denied him of his opportunity. His thinking was so progressive, was about 20 years ahead of time in civil rights. He was about 60 years ahead of his time when it came to equal pay for men and women. He has been largely air brushed out of American political history. I only found out about he through Oliver Stones American History documentaries.

      @@waywardgeologist2520 I understand greatly the atrocities of Soviet rule. While Wallace was indeed a little bit naive when it came to his views on the Soviet Union, it doesn't erase his almost universally being greatly ahead of his time on the real important issues. I mean, being realistic, it's not like anything a president did short of unconstitutional foreign interference could have prevented the rise of Stalin.

    I very much like Henry Wallace. He is one of the greatest and best politicians in America and the world. His speech about the Century of the Common man is one of the best and most important ideas of the 20th century . It is also good as a speech Martin Luther king's "I Have a dream...". And I hope that we will change Putin, choose Grudinin and will build the Century of the Common man that Henry Wallace and Roerich dreamed of.

    It should be and must be the century of the common man... I saw The untold story series, 3 episodes a day, and it was amazing. A lot of the things it mentioned I already had a hunch were true, so it just reinforced those beliefs I had. But there was so much more I didn't know as well. The CIA cointelpro program? The opportunity of a better relationship with the Soviet Union after WWII that could have avoided all of the fear of a nuclear attack. The fact that the Allies even stood a chance against hitler in WWII thanks to Russia, who made the bigger sacrifices. History books make it seem that the entrance of the United States ensured victory, but if it wasen't for the Soviets fedning off the Germans, the United States would have also have had its ass handed to it had Germany conquered the Soviet Union. They would have had resources in abundance to fuel their war efforts. The Normandy invasion was actaully pretty quiet in comparison to how heated the fighting was on the other front. So the U.S basically came in through the back door. I think I would have more respect for a country that acknowledges the bigger sacrifices made by other countries instead of hyping it's own, lesser accomplishments, that yea contributed to victory, but on a smaller scale.

      Henry Wallace was WAY more revolutionary than Bernie. Every time Bernie has a chance to flex his political muscle and push for something with the backing of the massive movement his campaign built, every chance he had he bent the knee to the Democratic Party.
      Thankfully the Bernie Sanders movement has taken on a life of its own, as it looks like he’s just going to continue to spit on his base and become more regressive when it comes to challenging US imperialism.
