FDR and Stalin were not "good buddies". They lead nations that had a common enemy. That's not an expression of friendship. And no, the Communist Party was not supportive of the New Deal. They opposed it because they thought it would reduce their political viability. They only stopped their opposition because they felt a united front against fascism was needed.
Strange that FDR referred to Stalin as "Uncle Joe" if they weren't close.
Also regarding the New Deal, apparently I had my facts somewhat wrong. It appears they were against the New Deal at first, but later endorsed it.
But only did so because they saw the Nazis and other fascists as the larger threat.
Only because FDR wanted to be the worlds biggest fascist and Hitler stood in his way
