Senator Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) success in the early going of the Democratic presidential primary process may seem like folly to Republicans watching from afar. However, it is something that should not be taken lightly, according to Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL).

During an interview with Huntsville, AL radio’s WVNN, Brooks discussed socialism on the rise in the United States, as reflected by Sanders’ and Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) successes, and the elections of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and other self-proclaimed socialists to elected offices.

Brooks explained how socialism was antithetical to America’s founding principles, and how ideals of socialism historically have not held up when implemented around the world.

“We’ve had hundreds of thousands of Americans lose their lives in wars fighting socialism because it is the antithesis of liberty and freedom principles on which this country was based,” he said. “Socialism is dictatorial government, which the government is dictating to you what you can and cannot do. And basically, the government becomes elitist. If you’ve ever read George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ — I think that’s a pretty good example of what I’m talking about, where all of us are equal in the beginning. But at the end of the book, those people who are running the government — they are a separate class unto themselves, and they are superior.”
