An alien ideology is entering American politics, and its threat cannot be dismissed.  While our Constitution guarantees us a republican form of government, the tools of democracy can be exploited to render that asunder.

Two major cities—New York and Minneapolis—now have candidates for Mayor running as avowed socialists under the Democratic party. They have every likelihood of success. That they call themselves Democratic Socialists is of no comfort.  The Venezuelan, Cuban, and China constitutions also speak of their governments as democratic socialist. 

These candidates are, indeed, Marxists, and the attempted effort to separate Marxism from socialism is folly—Marx and Engels thanked designated socialist newspapers for spreading their Manifesto and the famous democratic socialist Michael Harrington has written: “Karl Marx was a democratic socialist in the most profound sense of the phrase.”

That no major Democrats are denouncing these candidacies and this ideology should be of major concern.  For those shrugging this off as no big deal, just remember: you may not care about Marxism, but it cares about you.
