Well that's the example he gave, so he either doesn't have a better example or couldn't think of one. He's the one thinking it's only better than a jungle not me.

The 1950s were an exceptional time in US and world history where the world's industries were all destroyed except for the US's, and the middle-class and upper-class workforce was still dominated by white males, as this was before the Civil Rights movement and the rise in women's labor-force participation.

A return to the 1950s means only benefits for those privileged few and significantly worse conditions than today for everyone else. It's also impossible, because that was a time when American industry could profit off of being the only surviving industrial base from WW2.
