Socialist movements and actions certainly aren’t anything new in American life. From FDR’s whole domestic package to LBJ’s “Great Society” to the wage and price controls attempted under Nixon, Presidents have reached for the socialist Kool-Aid for decades.
I think there will be some ‘60s-style turmoil ahead, but I have some amount of faith the pendulum will swing back to the free market in due course. It always seems to.

As Reagan argued, freedom can never be permanently eradicated.
It always struggles to return. Eventually. That's the story of the birth of our nation "conceived in liberty" - and a sizable chunk of history as well.
It's up to every generation to decide whether to take up the fight or shrug it off onto their children.
