Not much to disagree with here.
Pop culture is filth. It is now completely degenerate. Why do you never hear anyone humming a current pop song any more?
So true!
Socialism is popular. Practically all of the Socialist Party platform on which Norman Thomas ran in 1928 has been implemented. Thomas himself noticed this as far back as 1962, exulting that: "The difference between Democrats and Republicans is: Democrats have accepted some ideas of Socialism cheerfully, while Republicans have accepted them reluctantly."
Ayep.
Socialism is popular only insofar as people do not have to pay for it. As long as we can "afford" to run massive deficits to give people prescription drugs, health care, child care, farm subsidies, etc. people like it.
Force them to dramatically increase the amount they are forced at gunpoint to give to the government, and they won't be so happy.
