Socialist Democrats are always speaking, in glowing Robin Hood-like terms
In the ever-changing U.S. political landscape, there has emerged a strong offshoot on the left calling themselves Democratic Socialists. To be clear, if implemented, the plans and policies of this movement will mark the end of not just The United States as a Constitutional Republic but of human decency. So if that statement seems a bit of an exaggeration consider that according to the left infants that can live outside the womb can now be legally murdered and in some cases have their tiny organs harvested for sale. It sounds more like a disgusting sci-fi horror movie than policy by a political party, but this is what they are selling to the American people.
When contemplating the pros and cons of a socialist system, reflect on the fact that those politicians aspiring too the wonderful aspects of socialism have all chosen to live and work for years in a Capitalist country. Why did they all suffer through such a pitiful system, taking only a trifling few million dollars and living in such lavish squalor when their dream of socialist freedom was only a plane ride away? And those hundreds of thousands of people at the southern border who risked their lives to travel hundreds of dangerous miles all for a chance to get into a capitalist country having fled countries under socialist rule.
In a feudal sense, stealing from the lords to give to the serfs is a certain kind of romantic nobility. In the modern first world sense, taking from the productive to give to the capable but unproductive in order to get power (votes) is ignoble and corrupt.
“Robin Hood” did not steal from the rich and give to the poor. He kept it all himself! A true democrat he.
It easy for Hollywood to paint the successful capitalist as greedy. Likewise, the violent gangsters on our Southern Border were portrayed as the utter scum they are in Clint Eastwood’s movie, The Mule.
But we also need to highlight the millions of lesser criminals who game the system for themselves and steal money from other people.
In America today, we don’t label the “bad guys” accurately enough. And Hollywood is reluctant to point the target at themselves.
Fake News like what AOC is doing will surely destroy this Country if it’s not criticized for what it truly is: the destruction of civil society.
“Robin Hood” did not steal from the rich and give to the poor. He kept it all himself! A true democrat he.
The Goobermint confiscated peoples wealth. Robin Hood took it from the Goobermint.
Ragnar Danneskjöld did the same thing.
