White House on Socialism: The Horrible Cost in Misery, Starvation, and Death

Socialism has one constant characteristic: It fails, every time it’s tried, and every time it’s tried, it leaves a trail of death, poverty, starvation and economic collapse in its wake. But socialists and communists are always ready to give it another go, often pointing at the failures and claiming “That wasn’t real socialism/communism,” and maintaining that it will all work, as long as the new socialist/communist government has the right Top Men in charge.

In a White House press release on Thursday, one thing was made clear: This administration is willing to stand in front of the socialist train and shout, “STOP!”

A coordinated campaign is underway to sanitize, normalize, and romanticize one of history’s most dangerous and lethal ideologies. Newsweek is currently running a “little red test” that asks about oat milk, shorter workweeks, and tote bags — then scores readers on how ready they are for an “American socialist revolution.”

That’s right. Here it is.

The press release continues:

There’s nothing lighthearted about the reality that campaign is trying to hide. Socialist and communist regimes have killed some 100 million people through engineered famines, mass executions, and slave labor camps.

Now, American commies are trying to put a fine, fuzzy face on it, promising all kinds of free Schiff. But that’s a hard sell, once you look at the cost — nothing is free, the bill always comes due.

That same ideology is now being sold to Americans by the Democrat Socialists of America and the Radical Left that dominates the Democrat Party. Their agenda — Medicare for All, open borders, mass amnesty, abolishing police and prisons, and the Green New Deal chief among them — carries a staggering price.

This is what’s at stake. The Democrats are in the process of succumbing to this lunacy. It’s up to us to stop it, before something like one of the ones described above happens here.

Do you doubt that? Listen to any of these people. Listen to the far left talk about President Trump. Look at how many useful idiots on the far left paraded around, dancing and grinning, when Charlie Kirk was killed. Look at how many were openly, vocally disappointed when President Trump escaped not one, not two, but three (so far) assassination attempts.

This is the face of the enemy, and no, I don’t think that is too harsh a term. These are the terms on which the contest between communism and freedom will be fought. This is why the next two elections are so important. We can’t afford to lose this, not now, not in two years, not ever. Let’s get this done. Vote.
