How did socialists and communists respond to the new deal?

Socialists and communists were generally critical of the New Deal, viewing it as a limited response to the economic crisis that failed to address the root causes of capitalism. They argued that the reforms were insufficient and merely aimed at stabilizing the capitalist system rather than transforming it. Some socialists believed the New Deal could serve as a stepping stone towards more radical change, while others felt it entrenched existing power structures. Overall, both groups called for more profound systemic changes to achieve true economic equality and social justice.
