Well, very "election year".

But practical impact, very little.

The "socialists", as usual, keep promising
"free money/stuff". A large number simply
CANNOT RESIST such (bullshit) promises and
will bend the knee. It's a problem, a very
LONG-standing problem. Marx understood it.
Lenin understood it. Mao understood it.

But seems nobody ELSE does.

"Free Money/Ruin-The-Evil-Rich" ... it's
always "Yay !!!". Any downstream horrors,
well, those are totally ignored - and the
useful idiots in academia/MSM will help
HIDE those real-world horrors anyway.

Saul Alinsky, in 'Rules For Radicals' (have
a copy) said that you should NEVER get into
any DETAILS lest you lose most of your audience.
Just keep it really really 'general', shine and
glitter and rainbows. Wonderful "Us" and evil
"Them". A lot of "Do SOMETHING" without getting
into the nuts and bolts.

Sorry, but it WORKS.

And counteracting it - VERY difficult. Takes
a lot more than a few 'position statements'
99.99% of the pop will never read or
understand.

To counteract "commiesocialism", well, you
have to COUNTER-ACT it. The key being "ACT".
Press advantages and ATTACK in various ways,
gut their orgs and programs and funding and
useful idiot exploitation schemes.

Kinda rude and crude - but that's politics,
since the beginning. There are a lot of
tablets from the Sumerians - exact SAME
issues and approaches 6000+ years ago.
