The author is out to lunch on this.

1. The U.S. has effectively been a socialist country for almost 100 years.

2. The defining characteristic of our government/economic system right now is classical fascism. Joe Biden is not a Marxist. He’s a career political dope who does whatever his corporate owners tell him to do.

You are generally right Alberta, though it was a gradual process. Market capitalism has been a theory in this country for quite a long time. Same with the givernment as the protector of individual liberty.

There is a book written in the 40s or early 50s (too lazy to go to my library at the moment to get the title) where the author showed that the US Constitution is completely incompatible with socialism, i.e. socialism would not even get a foothold in US if Constitution were followed by 3 branches of government. And here we are in 2021 ...

We can legitimately debate all day the ideology of our royal crime family.

But—call it what you will—they are lying thieving jerks who would all be wearing orange jumpsuits in a just world.

So—I call them kleptocrats and leave it at that.

Yes, very good, and the Uniparty "don't let the SOCIALISTS win" faction is well aware of that.
