The Democratic party is now the party of socialism.
Bernie Sanders, a self-declared socialist, once let the cat out of the bag when he remarked that “bread lines are a good thing.” This from a man who honeymooned in the Soviet Union. He couldn’t visit Alexander Solzhenitsyn for his views on the Soviet Union when Solzhenitsyn lived in Vermont, but Sanders could travel over 5,000 miles to see and praise the Soviet Union.
Tim Walz, the week before he was selected as Vice Presidential nominee, said “one person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.” Walz was the most left wing of all of Kamala Harris’s choices, and, just after praising socialism, he was selected as her number two.
But AOC—another self-described socialist—will be giving a primetime address from the Democratic convention. This never would have happened in the past. To borrow, again, from Tim Walz, when they tell you who they are, believe them.
They are socialists.
