Will
there be a civil war if the country goes socialist? There will
certainly be some kind of armed resistance, but if the socialist model
holds, any legal opposition will be savagely stamped out. The
groundwork is being laid as we speak, as the very concept of free speech
– opposition speech – is being more than demonized; it is being
suppressed.
A headline in The Hill captures a significant moment in American history: "Four socialist-backed candidates win Pennsylvania legislative primaries."
The Democratic Socialists of America supported all four candidates, who will almost certainly win in November, given their lack of GOP opponents.
The DSA itself thinks socialism's time has come:
The DSA hailed the legislative victories as a huge moment for the socialist movement.
Arielle Cohen, co-chair of the Pittsburgh DSA chapter, told HuffPost that she feels a "monumental shift" after the victories, noting DSA's growing membership since President Trump's election.
"We won on popular demands that were deemed impossible. We won on health care for all, we won on free education," she said.
"We're turning the state the right shade of red tonight," she added.

ReplyDeleteSoon, if these people continue, everywhere will be blood red. They will not compromise, and cannot be allowed to succeed.
Agreed.

No civil war. We swallowed that pill when the country created social security. Then welfare. Then various scholarships for humanities. Then Obamacare. the graduated income taxes. The attacks/infiltration/ destruction of great institutions since the 60's. rabid environmentalism that only seems to want to attack productivity in America, but never notices polution in communist countries. And human rights organisations that call everything American an atrocity but don't notice slavery in Islamic countries and serfdom in the entire Soviet block. Socialism has been mainstream in America for decades. It was just well mannered until now.
