The current widespread fascination with all things socialist was too much for us to ignore, so we couldn’t resist submitting this sardonic riff on the subject. The Maine Wire was kind enough to publish it on their web site:
We worry that too many in this day may not take it in the manner intended, but will instead see it as an argument for their beloved social justice revolution.
Here’s an excerpt to tempt you:
For a hardcore, lifelong conservative like myself, the mere mention of socialism, or it’s drag persona—social democracy—is enough to send me to the bunker with a small batch bourbon. The celebration in recent years of Bernie Sanders, followed more recently by Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, Kirsten Gillibrand, Andrew Gillum, and innumerable others is a movie made in hell. Add hordes of gullible, supposedly well-educated millennials, and the nation seems on a collision course of voluntary self-destruction.
Yet as the winds of change continue blowing in my face, ably reported and abetted by the usual suspects, the widespread fascination of pre-senility adults and our newest generations with certifiably destructive ideology gave me pause. Could millions of newly minted voters be so wrong, and so easily led astray by those who’ve been around long enough to know better?
Enjoy; and we mean that in a troubled way. There are all too many signs of the majority looking to repeat the doomed social failures of history. Largely because no one tells them about it. Postmodernism demands nothing less because of its core principle that there is no such thing as objective truth.
That pretty much trashes history and anything else that gets in the way of nirvana. And reality.
