The right wing lemmings for decades have campaigned on the theme that
democrats want to usher in socialism. Well, when? After 8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Obama, 4 years of Biden, when does the socialism kick in and what does it look like specifically when it comes to programs?
Biden's largest achievements are:
- Infrastructure Bill not socialism and disproportionately benefited rural America
- CHIPS Bill not socialism and is supporting capitalist growth of manufacturing
- PACT act - veteran healthcare is caring for vets socialism?
- American Rescue Plan - not socialism and saved the capital markets and the small business engine of America setting it up to be the healthiest in the world
Not exactly the socialist list of dream policies. Even Obama's Affordable Care Act which pools risk is wildly popular in America and used in Red States to a higher degree than Blue States. In fact only one congressman proposed ending it in the last midterm elections. The rest of Republicans have moved on.
When will I see the socialism?
The reason socialism has historically appealed to some many blood thirsty dictators over the years is not because they are ideologues and love the philosophy of socialism, rather, it is because to give socialism half a chance to work the government needs absolute control over pretty much everything, including your thought life.
Take Hitler, for example, he was a National Socialist, but socialists divorce him as not being one of them because he did not privatize industry. Of course, they divorce him also because he was universally vilified, and rightly so, for all of his atrocities. But consider for a second, had Hitler nationalized industry. They would have no grounds to divorce him as being one of their own. Really, what difference would it have made regarding his universal evil he inflicted upon the world?
But at the end of the day, Hitler knew that all that mattered was control over industry, which he had. Hiter once said, "Why nationalize industry when we can nationalize the people?" Hitler was at least smart enough to know he was not an expert in running industry, so he allowed the experts to do the work as they then had to answer to him in the end. That is why it was a superior model to the Stalin communist model.
But both the Hitler model and Stalin model were evil. In fact, Stalin controlled industry and interestingly enough murdered millions more than Hitler, yet to this day it is considered an insult to be called a Nazi but it is cool to be called a Marxist. Why?
That is the power of the media in the West that has sold their soul to a Marxist like philosophy that saw Stalin murder hundreds of millions of people. They use propaganda to make the young folk think it is cool.
The issue is really collectivism. Centralized power has the greatest potential to inflict misery and suffering and oppression, something the Left and Progressives in the US don't understand, or if they do, don't care. This is why they seek to centralize power in the US at every turn and no matter how successful they are, it is never enough.
