I find myself in general agreement though perhaps for different reasons. Looking at American political history, I feel that we lost this argument in November 1936 when Americans gave Roosevelt 46 states. Ever since, no GOP challenger, save Barry Goldwater, advocated the end of the New Deal. Even Ronald Reagan wanted to limit it, work around its edges, but he made no effort to dismantle it. Even with 49 states Pres. Reagan did not move against the New Deal. He was occupied with defeating the USSR, but his legacy domestically, beyond lowering the tax rate, was unheralded. Why? Because the New Deal govt action is what the majority of Americans want.Unfortunately that’s the reality.

I agree. Most people want some form of Marxism. It started as a safety net, which was a good idea, but then more and more people found that the safety net was good way to vote themselves money from the public treasury. Now, we’re hopelessly addicted. Even though I hate the idea of surrendering to socialism, it is the best of all the likely outcomes for the US. But I’ll continue to fight as if there’s still a chance of avoiding Marxism. Its all we have left.
