President Sanders, speaking from the White House yesterday, proposed/criticized/blamed … ”
Um, er, no — not really. It’s not going to happen. This Bernie thing — the rise of Bernie, the magnetism of Bernie, the radiance that shines from his curly white locks — is more overrated than a luxury vacation package to Wuhan.
Basically, that’s because Sen. Bernie Sanders is a socialist. Oh, we’ve known that for decades — so long, indeed, that we take for granted his commitment to government direction of whatever moves.
A socialist? Sure. But what does that mean, apart from the way it describes the senator’s economic policies: “Medicare for All,” free college, higher taxes for the rich, etc.? It is one thing to itemize and debunk particular socialist policy goals. It’s equally to the point to note the common denominator of socialist policy.
I would describe it thus: The average socialist thinks he’s smarter than you. You can disagree all you want. He’s right; you’re wrong — and primed to enforce the distinction.
This overriding conviction derives from the socialist manner of doing politics and economics. We’re right — we the socialists. Our analysis lies beyond question, and because of that, you’re going to do what we tell you to do. Your objections to socialist economic analysis — to socialist scorn for different ways of thinking about the world and the human nature it harbors — aren’t worth the snap of a finger. Shut up! Got that? If not, you don’t get socialism.
