Answer:

Increased government activity in the economy during the Great Depression did not lead to a decline in the popularity of Marxist ideas, nor did it immediately turn the economy around. Instead, it led to the people electing totalitarian leaders who promised simple solutions in exchange for absolute power. Workers may have gained some power and confidence, but overall the government's actions turned a crisis into a global depression.
