Seb Gorka on the Pseudo-Conservatives
The Bulwark's Latest Declaration of Eternal Conservative Principles: Conservatives Are Ginning Up Fake Fears About Socialism
[The Subsidized Fake Conservatives] moved from gullible conservative donors to taking money from hardcore left-wing billionaires. They rebranded themselves under a new masthead, and as The Bulwark--sounds manly right?--and decided the best thing is to outdo the Daily Beast and Buzzfeed in anti-Trump sentiment. No more pretending to be the heirs of Kirk and Chambers while enjoying tony parties in Adams Morgan with their MSNBC, NPR, and Obama Administration pals. No, they will rebuild America by giving in to their inner Arianna Huffington and unleashing their hidden Glenn Thrush. Although I’ve been through the wringer, having lived through the consequences of working in the White House and all that entails in terms of media "coverage," the results of their targeting have surprised even me. Whether it's attacking Salena Zito for not being a "real American" (I guess because her name isn’t WASP-y enough), or mocking the appearance of a veteran conservative commentator who just ended chemotherapy, these people who say--and this isn't a put on, they actually had this on their masthead--that they are "Conserving Conservatism" have sunk as low as it is possible to go. Or at least that's what I thought until this week. ... The day after the outrageous calumny [against Victor Davis Hanson] was dropped, I attended the launch of the good professor’s book at the D.C. satellite of his professional home, the Hoover Institution... At the end of the superb event, the pieces all fell into place. As I said my goodbyes, the gentle professor turned to me and said: "You know, Trump is the one thing standing between them and America going socialist." As if by prophecy, the next article the Bulwark posted was: "Is Socialism Really that Big of a Threat?"But Gorsuch. But the economy. But the border. But abortion. But anti-semitism. But... capitalism? The Defenders of Eternal Conservative Principles sure are willing to toss a lot of ancient wood on the bonfire to keep the anti-Trump fires burning. The Bulwark's article actually says socialism is NBD, really:
But upon closer inspection the right's bashing of socialism rings a little hollow--and not just because of Gorka's bombast. Yes, AOC's proposals are misguided but they are unlikely steps toward a planned economy, show trials, or the gulag system."Misguided"? And then come the claims that just because she's advocating socialism, it doesn't mean she'll bring about the bad parts of socialism. Hey, remember when True Conservatives believed that all the parts of socialism were the bad parts of socialism? Now apparently a lot of socialism is good, as long as we stay away from the bad parts, like totalitarianism. Which, as history tells us, can be easily extracted from socialism, and in fact is successfully extracted from it almost every time it's tried. That's sarcasm, if I'm not laying it on thick enough. Every socialist says "This time, we'll implement socialism without the show trials, gulags, and political prisons!" And they tend to be liars on that point. The left made the same claims about Obama, that he was merely introducing some incremental changes and beginning much-needed discussions, not pushing the country towards socialism. The Eternal Defenders of Sacred Conservative Doctrine used to dispute the left on that point. Now they join them in apologetics for socialism. Well, I'm sure the writers at The Bulwark don't have to worry about show trials -- they've let the left know they are trustworthy and useful allies who, if they are to be eaten at all, should certainly be eaten last. Update: A friend tells me that the Bulwark Remnant (including the #SalonHot25) has exhausted even the patience of the rest of the NeverTrumpers, who now despise them. Partly maybe for embarrassing them by giving the game away (in as much as the Bulwark guys don't even hide the fact that they're partisan Democrats now), and partly because the Bulwark Remnant is always attacking the regular NeverTrumpers as sell-outs not sufficiently pro-Democrat enough to defeat the Drumpfenkoenig. Keep on telling us how good you are at politics and the art of persuasion, guys. I'm going just start calling these guys "The Winners Club," because that's all they do, they win. And they club cancer survivors and pro-lifers.

Socialism isn't a threat. It's already here - an active problem. But the inevitable next stage socialism is most certainly a threat.

William Kristol was allegedly a stalwart of the conservative intellectual.
Irving Kristol, his father, may have been the original "neo-con". Irving Kristol wrote a rather blistering and wistful book about leaving the Left, called "Former Friends".
And this, is the heritage of the Jewish intellectual in America.
Sometimes a pretend conservative, sometimes a social liberal. Whatever.
This may sound truly anti-semitic to some, but the orientation of the Jewish intellectual in America (and Europe) is to be the cosmopolitan, bigger than a citizen of a country. They look at things as being kind of "one world", perhaps out of the historic fear of the pogrom, and the historic fear of a militant Christian.
Barry Goldwater was ancestrally Jewish, although he was a practicing Episcopalian. Toward the end of his life, with his second wife, he sometimes waxed liberal about certain topics.
Sebastian Gorka has not finished paying for his support of Trump, although he may think he is. And neither has Victor Hanson.
The Soviet - style denunciations will continue and intensify. All the bitter sarcasm in the world will not stop the mewling quims at The Bulwark or The Bulwinkle, or whatever they call it.
William Buckley must be SPINNING in his grave about what has happened to National Review.
Buckley would have held his nose and supported Trump, because he understood at a basic philosophical level, that someone who actually supports Conservatives in deed, is preferable to the oral support by the fakers, who happen to have the right pedigree.

we have plenty of socialism already in our system. We are ALREADY doing socialism wrong.

But sure, more "socialism" would be even better .. to make the rich richer, and to depress the lower middle class further.

Great post, Ace, and I look forward to reading Gorka's whole piece. There is something in here I find extremely troubling because it means I have to question what I always assumed to be the origins of the GOPe/NeverTrump crowd.
The conventional wisdom, as far as I know, is that this co-opting of the Republican Party by non-conservatives (or, at most generous, semi-conservatives) began in earnest under Reagan. In that era, the Democrats - who used to (at least on paper) be for immigration control, blue collar advocacy, etc. - got consumed by actual hardcore Leftists and outright communist sympathizers. This is where the "Reagan Democrats" came from - they didn't necessarily love conservatism and often were not conservatives in a practical sense, but they viewed the Soviet apologetics or outright Soviet advocacy of the increasingly corrupt Democrat party as going too far and forcing them out.
I don't know if this is actually true, or if it is simply not true anymore. This statement from the Cuckshed puts any legitimacy that argument has in the current context into the dustbin. From the post:
But upon closer inspection the right's bashing of socialism rings a little hollow--and not just because of Gorka's bombast. Yes, AOC's proposals are misguided but they are unlikely steps toward a planned economy, show trials, or the gulag system.
If the roots of the GOPe/NeverTrump cowards was actually "not exactly a conservative, but not down with communism" it certainly doesn't apply anymore.
Was it ever true? If it was, this demonstrates - in rich, vibrant color - what happens when petty personal luxuries, desire to "belong" and the lust for influence and other power-by-proxy schemes systematize.
You may note that the Cuckshed dropped their "Conservatism Conserved" tagline. There can be no wonder as to why.

Remind me, what do you call it when one pledges a national "salary" for every single person whether they work or not, at the expense of taxpayers? Surely even the cucks will admit this is a cursory element of a planned economy.
Plus Donkey Chompers and her ilk have virtually pledged a de facto end private corporations, by stealing their profits and managing their business.
A child could see this is "socialism" and would probably punch the cucks in the nuts for saying otherwise.

What percent of Republicans/Conservatives would you wager buys into this strain of NeverTrump?
Maybe 1-2%?
I can totally understand someone being frustrated Trump on a personal level, I never have understood how anyone goes from that to "maybe socialism isn't all that bad?"
I'm really hoping the Dems openly calling for socialism might give Republicans back the suburbs.

This is where the "Reagan Democrats" came from - they didn't necessarily love conservatism and often were not conservatives in a practical sense, but they viewed the Soviet apologetics or outright Soviet advocacy of the increasingly corrupt Democrat party as going too far and forcing them out. - Joe Mannix
And this is where, a generation earlier, the so-called Neo-cons came from. Disgusted with the Democrats frequent appeasement of the Soviets, the became "sort of " Conservatives.
Got inside the movement, and began to twist it into something else. Where did the phrase "compassionate Conservatism" come from, anyways?
We have come to a watershed moment, when Trump, the American populist- nationalist, stands against the cosmopolitan "one worlders" who want to level all borders, and welcome in a new underclass that will reliably vote Democrat-socialist, and do away with the Constitution of 1787 once and for all.

2) they were but hate Trump so much they're willing to embrace anything whatsoever to oppose him
3) they don't believe anything except what the person who's paying them says to believe.

For them tranny bathrooms and free grievance-studies collegiate programs are a small price to pay to drop bombs in some futile dictator-extermination activity somewhere.

It should be noted that in 1989 when George Bush took the White House he completely cleaned house of the Reagan appointees to a degree that no Republican I am aware of has ever done with his Democrat predecessors.

"Yes, AOC's proposals are misguided but they are unlikely steps toward a planned economy, show trials, or the gulag system."
Wrong. Her proposals inevitably, ineluctably lead to a planned economy, show trials, the gulag system, secret police, walls (yes!) with barbed wire and machine guns.
Why? Because socialists' ideas DO. NOT. WORK. And when they fail to such an extent that even relentless propaganda can't pretend otherwise, the socialists have to find scapegoats. Enter the "counter-revolutionaries sabotaging" their great policies. THAT'S why things suck!
Then come the show trials, the gulags, and of course, the secret police to sniff out said counter-revolutionary saboteurs.
Along with them comes the wall with barbed wire, etc. to keep people from fleeing the socialist paradise.
The progression follows as night follows day.

Right before the 2016 election, Matthew Condenetti had an article about how Conservatives should accept that socialism had won and spend the next twenty years arguing that they were better caretakers of the administrative state, until such time as they could could make the argument for conservatism again. At the time I suspected that he was parroting something that his father-in-law was saying in private. Now, I'm sure of it.
They gave up a long time ago. That's why they hate Trump: he proved that the problem was always them, and not conservatism.

We have come to a watershed moment, when Trump, the American populist- nationalist, stands against the cosmopolitan "one worlders" who want to level all borders, and welcome in a new underclass that will reliably vote Democrat-socialist, and do away with the Constitution of 1787 once and for all.

Which is interesting in its own right. If you take a step back and look at key position points in Trump's platform, it is genuinely what *would* have been considering a centrist platform before everyone went insane. If Trump were running with this exact platform in 1972, he probably could have run in either party.
Platform planks:
1) Tight immigration control (bipartisan issue in the 70s, probably with more Democrat (labor) support at the local level)
2) Regulatory regime rollbacks (Republican issue)
3) Trade rationalization (Democrat issue)
4) Tax cuts (Republican issue)
5) Tax loophole closure (Democrat issue)
6) Military rebuild (Republican issue)
7) Medical industry reform (this didn't really exist, but if it did it would have been a Democrat issue)
Abortion (Republican issue)
Trump is a true centrist in what we can probably call the "classical" sense on the pre-madness 20th century. That this platform - a platform that is, if we're being fair, pretty centrist and milquetoast - has resulted in this reaction shows you how radical and insane the Left *and* the Center have become.

========
if by very generous welfare system you mean, confiscation of your wealth in exchange for "care" ie, death panels, eventually gas chambers and 'recycling'. Because, that's what they mean, although they don't say that until after they've taken your guns, knives, and finger nails.

The democrats will eventually get enough power to do away with the electoral college, you know. This only goes in one direction, barring God's mercy. And as mercy is defined as "undeserved favor" it would be an unbelievable act of mercy.
The alternative involves a lot of light poles and high speed lead, resulting in chaos and awful bloodshed after which the country is freed of these miserable bastards. But is it really worth murdering over? Just because they disagree with us? I don't think so. But they might.

Joe - this isn't a recent thing. The "Country Club" Republicans put up a big fight in 1976 on Ford vs Reagan (would Reagan have beat Carter in '76 and ended the Soviet Union earlier ?), and again in 1980 when they insisted upon G. Bush being the vice presidential candidate.
It should be noted that in 1989 when George Bush took the White House he completely cleaned house of the Reagan appointees to a degree that no Republican I am aware of has ever done with his Democrat predecessors.
Posted by: Mordineus at March 19, 2019 03:31 PM (0bEmE)
+++++++++++
Yes. As Bozo and Ace have both mentioned, it started earlier. I think that Reagan probably served as the inflection point, though, where it all went mainstream. The Party did not want Reagan, but he brought in the vote so they had to coopt it from within. Just like they thought they would do to Trump.

To the extent socialism "works" at all, it's in small, ethnically homogeneous groups who don't have to worry about some outside force taking their goodies away.
That said, none of them are particularly "socialist" in that The State doesn't own the means of production. They are highly centralized, pseudo-fascist states with very generous welfare systems.

Here's the problem. Our country has always existed on balance. We have mostly honored the rights of the minority party by minimally moving towards our goals in measured, agreeable ways. Democrats are not content with that. They provably trample minority rights such as in New York and California by running over law, constitution and tradition in total disregard for them and the people in the minority. It's the tyranny of a majority just as de Tocqueville described it, and in the past it's led to war and dissolution. Democrats are going there.

Then communism naturally and inevitably is the way of things where each gives of his ability to those of heir need. Everyone spontaneously and without need of pay or ambition simply does the right thing for everyone else, doing all the jobs which are required out of charity and love of the people of the world.

And the communists are winning over the fascists. The key difference between the two is internationalism vs. nationalism. Nary a nationalist to found among its current advocates.

Yes, and because the US is a bulwark (pun intended) against the inevitable next level socialism (i.e., communism but really what is the difference) that would be surely to follow.

Waiting in bread lines gives you a chance to socialize. Socialism.
Imagine all the time you'll have to spend on social media too!
And we bear the brunt of a lot of their medical costs as pharmaceutical companies up prices in America to make up for price controls in Canada and Europe.
Right, that's part of the evils of trade deals: countries with socialized medicine refusing to allow sales there unless the companies cut their prices to the bone. And where do they make up those lost profits? Here at home.

a friend tells me that the Bulwark Remnant has exhausted even the patience of the rest of the NeverTrumpers, who now despise them. Partly maybe for embarrassing them by giving the game away (in as much as the Bulwark guys don't even hide the fact that they're partisan Democrats now), and partly because the Bulwark Remnant is always attacking the regular NeverTrumpers as sell-outs not sufficiently pro-Democrat enough to defeat the Drumpfenkoenig.

Nixon was a rampant state grower. He implemented the EPA, oversaw some of the earliest direct cash transfer payments for welfare (whereas it was mostly in-kind before as food stamps, rent assistance, public housing, etc.), etc. He was very liberal on domestic policy, and quite conservative on foreign policy for his time. A lot like George W. Bush, actually.

Trump recites exactly what happened with McCain on health care, how he said he would pass it, then didn't at a point he knew it was too late to whip another vote. Trump states, I know why he did it", but doesn't get into that. He also states he's never going to back down.

===========
They're taking Beto mania seriously, so I would expect Democrats to really try.
Cornyn, though, doesn't have the same problems as Cruz within the Republican Party and should probably see a relatively easy re-election.
Castro is also a funny looking dude, and probably won't generate the same kind of enthusiasm from big money donors, especially when the prospect is to get rid of Cornyn instead of Cruz.
So, a real effort, but not a gangbusters effort like with Beto.
Cornyn will win by at least 10 points, but we'll have so many stories about how Texas is turning blue no matter what.

They won't mention that they're not pro-life, but only lied to you for years so that you'd give them money. They'll talk about how they're for "the rule of law," but not mention how that only means they want Trump jailed/impeached, and won't accept any other result. And when they say they're for limited government, they won't really tell you what they want to limit. Just take their word for it. Haven't they earned that trust?

Bottom line, the American electorate voted for a Democratic House, and at least three Senate seats out West that should not have gone Democrat did. It's my opinion that lots of angry Democrats voted in 2018 and a good number of Trump voters stayed home.
Even if Trump gets re-elected in 2020, will the electorate get tired in 2024 and hand power to the socialist Democrats? They got tired in Wisconsin and gave the boot to Scott Walker, as an example.
Oh, and Chiquita Krushchev/Donkey Chompers is eligible to run for President in 2024.

Why wouldn't Democrats do the same thing again ? Sacred Honor ?

Ditto. My parents are working on retiring and they were going over their plan with me. I pointed out that they could accelerate the whole thing if they were willing to move out of CO, as the Front Range has become very expensive.
My mom's eyes went wide at the suggestion. A few days later she told me, "I had never considered moving. I can't stop thinking about it. With what this place has become, it makes more sense than ever. I can't stand what is happening and I never stopped to think, 'I can leave.'"
Sad. Really, truly sad. I am in the same boat, though. I am building an exit plan.

Trump is a true centrist in what we can probably call the "classical" sense on the pre-madness 20th century. That this platform - a platform that is, if we're being fair, pretty centrist and milquetoast - has resulted in this reaction shows you how radical and insane the Left *and* the Center have become.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at March 19, 2019 03:34 PM (I2dne)
Conservatism is the centrist position, because it's basically, "hey, don't fuck with things too much!" The left was anchored by progressivism, while the right was anchored by libertarianism. Blue collar conservatives went Dem for several decades after WWII because of the New Deal and the distrust of big business. White collar conservatives went GOP out of fear of communism and because they liked seeing their retirement accounts grow. Since the 90s and the fall of the USSR those allegiences started to slip.

All laws are force. The way to evaluate any law's legitimacy or desirability is to ask yourself "is this law worth putting a gun to someone's head to enforce?"
Because all law comes down to having armed agents of the government pull their guns on you to ensure compliance or to take you into custody. Even seemingly innocuous but annoying laws like running a nail salon without a cosmetology license. Keep doing it after being cited a couple of times and a platoon of armed cops WILL come into your shop to shut you down.

Bill Kristol in 2008, with regard to Cheney cursing out Pat Leahy, and telling him to go fuck himself:
"No spin. No doubletalk. A cogent defense of his action -and one that shows a well-considered sense of justice. ("I thought he merited it.") Indeed, if justice is seeking to give each his due, one might say that Dick Cheney aspires to being a just man. And a thoughtful one, because he knows that justice is sometimes too harsh, and should be tempered by civility."
Funny how that standard shifted for Trump.

If you're worried about socialism (as an economic system) nuking the USA, I suggest that you worry about our CURRENT level of spending and borrowing. This profligate spending and astronomical debt will destroy us as surely as socialism will.
(No I'm not slamming Trump for this spending. It takes a TEAM EFFORT, all parties, all citizens, to overspend like we do. I contend there isn't one single politician or voter alive who cares to do anything effective to stop it.)

I'd agree, with the caveat that in many cases they were lying to themselves about being conservative before, and now are lying *slightly differently* to themselves about how they are the real conservatives, in such a way that from the outside reveals they are running around with no pants. They were always in assless chaps, but they know they have pants on. They're quite sure.
From their perspective, nothing has changed. Their distemper and dementia and mania are extremely similar to how they were before, but now revealed. It makes them angrier and more insane that we notice, because it's All You Plebes who changed, not them.

Socialism is economic control, meaning control of everything, really. America was not really founded for capitalism, but for religious (Christian) liberty.
When there are good laws to protect the individual, capitalism can thrive (within our borders). When foreign nations want to trade, we decide if it is good for us, including for our workers. WallStreet took control and wants slave labor in China, for their profit.
Globalism wants global economic control, by way of the 20 too big to fail/jail banks. They will control monetary policy and punish nations at their will. USA would not be allowed to favor Christian ideology over commies or jihadists ... and AmericaFirst is their enemy.
Theoretical Socialism doesn't exist, just like the Utopian Communism arguments are useless distractions. Americans have to decide if they want liberty or cheap tech toys, but tyranny. (cheap because even "global capitalism" means our blue collar workers end up making the same as the China blue collar worker. Not what we signed up for.)
Let Freedom Reign.

I voted today on our island's potential incorporation and becoming a town.
When our new, young, prog editor (from up north, too) of our increasingly prog newspaper came out against our incorporation, well that made things easy.
I voted "yes" to incorporate.

Sometimes daddy is so much an angel and perfect that little girls just cannot see past it. My uncle was a thief, a liar, and a loser, but his kids think he was the greatest man who ever lived. Because they believed every one of his contradictory, absurd lies.

Conservatism is the centrist position, because it's basically, "hey, don't fuck with things too much!" The left was anchored by progressivism, while the right was anchored by libertarianism. Blue collar conservatives went Dem for several decades after WWII because of the New Deal and the distrust of big business. White collar conservatives went GOP out of fear of communism and because they liked seeing their retirement accounts grow. Since the 90s and the fall of the USSR those allegiences started to slip.

I think a major problem with contemporary conservatism is that it has more of a sea anchor than a real anchor.
A real anchor - like, say, the freaking Constitution - is an absolute point around which (or a lens through which) you can weigh your positions and decisions.
A sea anchor, though, holds a relative position instead of an absolute one. The conservative sea anchor means that the goal becomes to preserve/conserve the world as it is *now* - not as it should be according to first principles. Every time the Left moves the ball down the field, the sea-anchor conservatives go from fighting it to *defending* it against further Leftward moves.*
*Not the Cuckshed Crew. They're just leftists.

A well-ordered society oppresses criminals, perverts, ne'er-do-wells, and other antisocial types.
A leftist-run society, by failing to oppress the above, instead by default oppresses decent, hard-working, law-abiding taxpayers.
Look at SF. Who is oppressed? The bums crapping on the sidewalks and shooting up, or the decent people having to navigate the feces and needles on their way to work to help pay for programs for the bums?

Right now, at this moment in time, you're right - the Maoists would win without opposition from what remains of the Right. They are allied against the Right for now.
I don't want to know who would actually win the fight. If we get to that point, I'm dead.

The probability that the Democrat hopefuls can eschew personal attacks must be virtually nil. Even if they agree beforehand not to do engage in such, someone who is just out of the running will resort to personal attacks as a "Hail Mary" attempt, and then it's on. Oh yes, it's SO on.

I saw a Venezuela stat that was worth repeating. GDP cut in half the past five years.
The only way the current administration there is surviving is by 'thugging up' with a mix of Cuban soldiers and motorcycle gangs.
Never, never, ever, ever give up your guns. Those Cubans and motorcycle gangs would be a chalk outline on the sidewalk in these slightly United States right now.
But private ownership of guns was outlawed in Venezuela. 2011 or 2012.

It should not be a surprise they are for socialism I guess. They deliberately decided to create a product nobody would buy and needs a billionaire socialist to support. If they and Ace were kids, Ace would be the one selling lemonade on your street, with an up charge for a splash of value rite. The Bulwark guys would be selling shit sandwiches and explaining why real smart kids eat shit.

The conventional wisdom, as far as I know, is that this co-opting of the Republican Party by non-conservatives (or, at most generous, semi-conservatives) began in earnest under Reagan. In that era, the Democrats - who used to (at least on paper) be for immigration control, blue collar advocacy, etc. - got consumed by actual hardcore Leftists and outright communist sympathizers. This is where the "Reagan Democrats" came from - they didn't necessarily love conservatism and often were not conservatives in a practical sense, but they viewed the Soviet apologetics or outright Soviet advocacy of the increasingly corrupt Democrat party as going too far and forcing them out.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at March 19, 2019 03:24 PM (I2dne)
Not quite so - Republicans weren't "conservative" by modern notions as a party pre-Reagan. The country-club set was just as offended by an actor taking over and facing down the Soviets rather than having detante as nowdays they are over Trump. And they let everyone know it, but like then they were ridden out of the party since Reagan won. That's when media started to become exclusively D, and then after Reagan moved on they came back to try and work their way into the party again as "neocons" or whatever. But the hatred of the middle american base and clear talk and common sense remained.
The Bulwark set is just the same fungus in the intellectual set. Buckley had his principles, these dudes never had any. They parroted him when he ran things, now they just parrot what gets them paid.

"...a planned economy, show trials, or the gulag system."
Yeah, the green new deal is literally a planned economy step. Rather, it is a HUGE step. She wants the government to control the means of production of energy, which is among the largest and most essential sectors in the world economy. And for that matter, the means of production for food. What, you think being able to say you can't grow cows isn't control? She also wants the government to control the means of production of education, and the means of production of health. Isn't that like, 50% of the non-government economy?
The green idiots have been calling for the ability to prosecute global warming deniers. Is this not pretty much aligned with the show trials concept? The microaggressions, the enemies lists from the sorts at SPLC and similar. It isn't headed in that direction? Don't be fucking naive. You give in and they'll find the reason to prosecute you, don't worry.
And the gulag system? Socialism is that from top to bottom. The ONLY difference is how obedient you are. If you're really obedient, they'll only hold you down with a thin rope, if you aren't, it becomes guns and a thick chain. The people who became nuclear engineers in the Soviet Union? People who had good scores in certain areas were forcibly assigned that work. Their preferences and interests didn't matter, and neither will yours. You won't be working for yourself or your own interests. You won't own yourself either. You would be a slave to a state that looks at you much the same way as a rancher views his cattle. When you're good and healthy, you'll be cared for. When you become troublesome, you become hamburger.
In any case, the bad effects of leftists and socialism are the above, but socialism itself simply can't work. The closest thing to socialism that can work is a market economy. Not very close you say? Yep. And yet it is still the closest thing. Socialism is just that bad.
