Glenn Beck was just now, talking about George Soros, and the "no borders" leftist globalist agenda.
Something Beck called "Open Society".
While Beck was describing this agenda by Soros and the left, I was trying to think of a difference between how George Soros thinks about globalism, and how George Bush thinks about globalism.
Corporate socialism vs. state socialism. There are a lot of differences but both are evil liberty-robbing visions of some kind of man-made utopia.
There are no globalists on the right.
There are, however leftists in the Republican party, and have been since at least the 50s and 60s when they - not Democrats led the move to destroy small agriculture and raisen up ADM & Monsanto etc... through government regulation.
No. By definition, any totalitarian objective is Leftist. If one is seeking to curtail personal freedoms and national sovereignty, that is a Leftist movement.
Once and for all, the Left=Socialist and Right=GOP spectrum is trash.
The political “spectrum is a cone” individual liberty is at the top of that cone and all forms of statism (monarchy, dictatorship, socialist democracy, theocracy, etc.) pool around the base of the cone.
So is there much of a difference as you go around the base? No. But there is no comparison between the top and the bottom.
Flavors of Globalism bump for later..........
I agree with you...The last thing they want on the ticket is a pro American patriot...
