Socialism: The elite and the rubes
By Earick Ward
For a century, the socialist movement has been content to advance their ideology through the cover of darkness and deceit — reforming education, infiltrating Hollywood and the news media, and stretching their tentacles throughout state and federal government agencies.
As Norman Thomas famously stated:
The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.
Today, socialists seem confident enough in their reach to come out from the cover of darkness to proudly proclaim the virtuousness of their ideology. Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, and a whole host of other far-left loons are touting the virtues of "free stuff" to the mass of ill informed rubes.
The benefit (for us) of them moving into the light is that it begins to expose the endgame. Socialism is a great system, for a few. The socialist sales pitch is that everyone will be granted a myriad of free things, provided for by his benevolent government masters. Free health care, free education, free housing, free transportation, and a universal basic income.
Sandy O's Green New Deal offers to provide "economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work."
