Socialist America
What is the socialist vision for America? The standard answer is to look at the platform for the Democratic Socialists of America. But some might be inclined to believe that the DSA platform is merely a set of campaign promises rather than a clear plan for the country.
No, the DSA platform is exactly what these socialist candidates want to implement. Fox News anchor Shannon Bream interviewed DSA National Co-Chair Megan Romer. The interview tells you all you need to know because she wholeheartedly agreed with every plank of the DSA platform.
Charles Cooke gave “Romer credit for her thoroughness” and then added that “she managed in the space of a minute to demand the abolition of every load-bearing structure in America.” For example: “To abolish the Senate is not only in effect to abolish the states, but . . . to abolish the union, too. To abolish the Supreme Court is to abolish the rule of law. To abolish our borders and our military is to abolish our sovereignty. To abolish prisons is to abolish ordered liberty. And to abolish private property is to abolish our economy.”
I would encourage you to follow the link to the commentary by Charles Cooke provided in this commentary or even watch the interview Shannon Bream did with Megan Romer. You may hear that all the support for socialist candidates is merely an attempt to address economic concerns about affordability. But the agenda is much broader than many American voters might understand. Charles Cooke goes so far as to see it as an attempt to abolish America.
It is time to educate yourself about the socialist vision for America.
