At first blush, the George Floyd riots appear to have little to do with socialism. After all, socialism is about government control, while the riots — instigated by leftist agitators affiliated with antifa — claim to oppose the “fascism” of police abuses. Yet bestselling author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza explains the connection in his new book released Tuesday, United States of Socialism: Who’s Behind It. Why It’s Evil. How to Stop It (a documentary is coming soon). In an interview with PJ Media, D’Souza explained how socialism morphed into an identity politics movement, how it relates to antifa, and why the coronavirus pandemic was a terrifying taste of what socialism has in store for America.
While President Donald Trump has rightly condemned socialism in his re-election campaign, D’Souza warned that the struggle against socialism is much bigger than the 2020 election, as important as it is.
“Three of our vital institutions have become rotted to the core. This is probably the greatest problem facing the country. This is bigger than Trump’s election because it affects every election,” he told PJ Media. Socialism’s influence in academia, the media, and Hollywood has divided America and laid the groundwork for the deadly riots of recent days. “Academia is the theory and antifa is the practice,” he said.
D’Souza noted that two men arrested in New York for throwing Molotov cocktails were lawyers — fairly well-off and well-educated. He insisted that this is not “ironic” but the natural outworking of the Marxist influence on education, the media, and Hollywood.
Yet Karl Marx focused on economics, not issues of race, sex, or other forms of identity politics. D’Souza’s book traces at least three different forms of socialism and identifies “identity socialism” as the key threat to America today.

The full effect will happen if the Democrats cheat their way into the House, Senate and White House in November.
Or the Tribulation as mentioned in Revelations.
If they think the police are bad now, just wait until the anarchists take control. Because if there's one thing a police state requires, it's plenty of police.
He didn’t talk about the wonderful feeling our domestic enemies get from condescendingly telling us our white privilege prvents us from understanding what’s going on, and the delight from shaming neighbors who don’t share their hatred and disrespect for our President.
Lindsey Graham, all the Bushes, Ace McCane, Karl Rove, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, John Boehner, Round Heels Megyn Kelly... those are some of the worst somestic enemies who call(ed) themselves Republican.
Where do these looters think their shoes will come from a year or so from now? In a socialist “utopia” there will be just one Department of Shoes making shoddy footwear. The only decent shoes will be worn by party members who will get them from whatever countries are left with capitalist economies.
And plenty of blood to show citizens they are serious.
And most of the store shelves will look like the ones in Venezuela...empty except the government run stores will have plenty of goods available for the elite government workers.
Just like it was in Russia during the communist regime. A few government stores for the few priveliged ones had just about everything your heart could desire and the rest of the population had to scrape by as best as they could.
