You have a point there but I am sure Van Jones heroes are communists like Che Guevara, not fascists. Socialists are content with having some state owned enterprises but otherwise taxing to death the private sector to fund their communist schemes. The communists schemes of today are green jobs, they are racial agendas and reparations, they are wealth redistribution, they are dominating education k-12 and in universities so all their commie friends have jobs and can indoctrinate young skulls full of mush
Well, I think we underestimate them if we think of them as Communists. I really do think they are fascists and that is the future we are building for ourselves. I don’t know how long communism with complete central planning and government ownership can survive, the Soviet Union’s 70 years was not a good test because they had the good old USA under Reagan pushing them in a way that no one would push us in todays world. But I think the communist system is creaky and eventually the wheels come off and those in power go for a better life for themselves and their children. Fascism is a different system since the state retains ultimate control but doesn’t impose it always, less creaky, more durable.
