The Pentagon is slated to host an event on Wednesday making "the case for global justice and democratic socialism" as a means to combat China’s rise, sparking ire on Capitol Hill.
The event, titled, "Responding to China: The Case for Global Justice and Democratic Socialism," is being hosted by the Institute for National Strategic Studies, a department of the National Defense University, the Pentagon’s top policy shop. The event is open to the public and will be held on the Pentagon’s Strategic Multilayer Assessment platform, a Defense Department initiative that studies global challenges, according to an invitation for the event posted online.
Featured speaker Thomas Piketty, a French economist, "will argue that the right answer" to addressing China’s rise "lies in ending Western arrogance and promoting a new emancipatory and egalitarian horizon on a global scale, a new form of democratic and participatory, ecological and post-colonial socialism," according to the event invitation. "If they stick to their usual lecturing posture and a dated hyper-capitalist model, Western countries may find it extremely difficult to meet the Chinese challenge." Piketty is the author of the book Time for Socialism.
The event, which was first reported by the Conservative Brief, is raising eyebrows on Capitol Hill, with Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), a top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, telling the Washington Free Beacon that the Biden administration is politicizing America’s military…

If I was Iran, Russia or China I would taken out DC + 10 - 20 major population centers in the USA and make it look lie random Islamic terrorism. Cut the head off the snake. I got it we still got silos, boomers, Major surface fleet. Who do we strike and how do we recover quickly?
But remember! The US military is tha bestest in the woyold an they will nebber obey ordaz to attack da citizens! /sarcasm
Soooo many people here on FR who honestly still believe the above. The US military is no longer what it was in the 80s and 90s. Well, here’s your wakeup call if you’re one of them. The US military is now officially promoting socialism.
You might want to make note that our surface fleet is older designs and designs that didn’t work (LCS). There’s a reason why the Navy has so hastily gone with foreign design frigates - because the LCS was a giant boondoggle that just didn’t work.
They think the cops won’t do the same. Vast majority of them will do so. 80-85%.
Basically the same percentage that took the vax shot will be the ones that have no qualms coming after you if ordered to.
In case anyone wondered how polluted the military has become 🤪
The Zips are in the wire.
Can someone explain to me in plain f'n english wtf this bullshit poppycock even means?!
This is sidebar worthy. Needs to be seen by everyone!
Isn’t that like Promote Fascism to Combat Nazi Germany?
The ‘zips’ aren’t in the wire, they’re already in the mess tent, tossing the standard MREs out for vegan rations only.
“We can defeat China by becoming a more socialist country than China, and spread socialism throughout the world - our green, woke socialism will then defeat Chinese socialism.”
Not joking. That’s pretty much the translation.
This is insurrection, pure and simple.
Knuckle under and say to China, Yes Sir, you are the boss. We are a monkey and you are the uncle. There is no reason for China to fear us, for we are a docile pet…like a Golden Retriever.
This is treason.
Like f-ing for virginity!
Global Reset.
Techno Marxism.
Depopulation.
More resources for less people. Doled out by bureaucrats to the 1984-type existence.
No opposition.
Live to serve the elites.
I second that.
This means, without a doubt: "freedom to keep your head bowed down without shame, to rise above no one, to treat one-world government as your god; to cede the principal of "one-man one-vote" to "one being one vote", so that all living things have a say at the table of government".
The non-human votes are of course cast by their proxy, the Dearest Supreme Socialist Leader, praise be upon xit.

Ours will be the kinder, gentler, more compassionate Democratic Socialism.
