Wilhelm hears this “socialistic impulse” every day wherever he goes because he demands that his flunkies say it to him.
No he hears it. I taught in NYC schools from 1986 till 2010. Teaching Social Studies almost every colleague was not just a Dem but an out and out socialist. There were two asst princilalas who were conservative, and in 25 years ONE other teacher. He was a libertarian and ironically was Gerrold Nadler’s twin brother. So imagine the 500 or so kids graduating from my JHS each year and multiple that by 1000. That gets you a population that wants free stuff. And if NYers don’t have a socialist they will accept a fascist like Bloomie to make yhe subways run on time and keep them safe from all the bad thi gs in life, like sugar, smoke, bad weather, transfats, and guns.
