“A hundred years ago everyone in America knew that, — it was axiomatic. The country did very well.”
Did it ever!
Well said.
Only one issue with what you stated. It’s communist subversion, not liberal subversion.
Liberalism/socialism is only the tool that will NECESSARILY lead to communism—like night follows day.
The loud voices today (liberals) will be silenced tomorrow.
Once those on the “right” have been marginalized, the war begins between the left and the hard left, and the hard left will win.
The communists are ingenious in their subversion. As they have been saying for a very long time, they will use “liberalism” to slowly weaken the US and eventually dominate.
If we don’t stop liberalism/socialism, we cannot stop the communists.
They don’t, and won’t, call it communism, but a pile of sh*t is still a pile of sh*t by any other name.
Liberalism is broader. People sometime point out that “communism” under its strict definition was not even practiced in the Soviet Union. It was always an ideal society that the Soviet Union was supposedly “building”. Under communism, money would disappear, people would be all to the one moral altrustic people who work for the common good and then take what they want from the store.
Most leftists today laugh at the idea, as of course everyone should, so if one calls them “communist” it is easy for them to shrug off the label.
Similarly some posters on this thread called Putin “communist” when they really meant “militarist” or “autocratic” or “imperialist”.
