Did he change the article? Here's what I saw at the end:

>If monetarism goes, then the only peaceful political solution to the crisis will be a massive social Keynesian program like the Green New Deal. If this happens, those who hated Obama's mild stimulation packages will look back at those days with nostalgia. A brave New Deal will necessarily place democracy at the center of society, not markets.

The New Deal may have been heavily inspired by socialism, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it communism/socialism.

I think a bigger criticism of this article is that it's basically a derivative of this article: https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2019/05/29/the-feds-da...
