scarcity's been around since the dawn of time, even if it's sometimes intentionally worsened. do you see some way of truly eliminating it?

You can say that those all have pacifying effects, but how do they "aim" to do so?

They do?

Capitalism is not inherently a political system. "Liberalism" would probably be more apt here.

FDR did not have to do any maneuvering whatsoever to get his 4 terms - Grant had already run for a 3rd before him, as had Teddy Roosevelt. There was no rule against it an the people wanted him in power, so he stayed in power. Similarly, GWB didn't run for a third term, regardless of what he "could have" done. Neither of your examples are very strong here.

When? Not doubting, just curious about scope and type of scenarios where it's happened.
