Senate Democratic nominee James Talarico appears ready to bring a touch of Trotsky to Texas. In a video from a climate forum, Talarico is shown declaring capitalism an "oppressive system" linked with White supremacy and saying that it must be "dismantled" to achieve a better world. It is reminiscent of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, who denounced the "fundamental evil of the capitalist system" and called on citizens to free themselves from its oppression. The Democratic Socialists of America and radical sites have long called "to dismantle the capitalist state."
As a state representative, Talarico addressed the 2020 climate conference by the Austin chapter of the Sierra Club with other Texas House candidates. However, it was Talarico who roused the crowd with an attack on capitalism:
"I’m so thankful that you asked this question and also thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and White supremacy and capitalism in our country ... And I think only ending the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we gonna be able to begin the process of dismantling them."
Talarico added criticism of Texas’s oil and gas industry, which he mocked as a dying industry "like being the leader in cassette tapes in the 1980s." He predicted with obvious satisfaction, "That industry is not gonna last."
Ironically, given his earlier promise of running a meatless, vegan campaign, opposing both beef and energy markets in Texas could well achieve the dismantling of the economy by default in Texas.
Talarico's views closely parallel socialist and communist talking points online. The Democratic Socialists of America has challenged people to "imagine the end of capitalism." Those words in The Democratic Socialists of America manifesto offer Americans a world without landlords, debt, mandatory work hours, and "food, education, energy, medicine,

If Talarico destroys the free market, where is he going to find angels to run his socialist system without oppression and exploitation?
More like Jim Jones, all that’s missing is the Kool-Aid.
Trotsky was much better as a communist than Stalin ever was, which is why Trots ended up dead and Stalin ruled the Soviet Union—Stalin cared more about Stalin than he ever did about communism.

Only good thing Koba ever did. Trotsky would have been even worse.
A complete nut, yet almost all registered Democrats will vote for him.
Yes Trotsky was much more a true believer then Koba!
This Stalin is filthy business
Could be worse
How?
We could have had Trotsky
Stalin was more like a Czar than a Communist. His hero was Ivan The Terrible.
If Trotsky were in power, Germany would have gone Bolshevik, instead of Nazi.
Stalin didn’t want Communism to take hold in Germany, unless he had complete control over it. So he had most of the German Communists killed, and even gave Hitler the info so he could take care of them.
Stalin was a sociopath. It appears all communists/fascists/NAZIs who come to power are sociopaths.
They do not care how many people they have to kill to stay in power.
The whole point of communism is “any means” which means, in effect, no morality. Any action is allowed if it benefits “the party” which, in practice means “benefits me”.
Take everything Talarico and his supporters have. Redistribute their supremisism to those more needy.
Do the Republicans have the sense to make sure Texas voters are familiar with all the crazy and dangerous things Talarico has said? The media won’t publicize them.
Capitalism is for people who don’t mind working for their own wellbeing. Socialism/Communism is for people who want to survive off of the fruits of other people’s labor and have no incentive to do better, unless of course one is in the communistic ruling class.
I surmise that Mssr. Tallywhacker has never been to an urban barber shop. All the barber shops in America aren’t ‘white supremacy” businesses. Many are owned by minorities.
Is not a barber shop a definite example of a small business, which is the epitomy of capitalism?
Talarico wants to destroy the Texas oil/gas industry and the Texas economy.
