And it was ever so.....from the French Revolution to the present
1. American Democrats/Liberals have run on a platform of aiding the little guy, and the poor, but evidence doesn't support that:
a. They are the party of the rich and of Hollywood
b. The poverty level today is essentially jusst where it was when LBJ's 'War on Poverty' began
c. This is the result of all the 'help' they have given blacks Americans…. dead last.
"- Median income by race: African-American households had the lowest median income in 2004 ($30,134) among all racial groups. Asian households had the highest median income ($57,518). The median income for non-Hispanic white households was $48,977. Median income for Hispanic households was $34,241." http://www.bcsalliance.com/income_wage_statistics.html
Is there some point at which the indoctrinated recognize it as simply hot air???
2. On the world stage the same sorts of claims by the Soviets/Communists has turned out to be just as empty. Still, the Left's Western elites/intellectuals stick to the propaganda that can be traced back to Marx and Engels, ...but, have failed in their quest: submission by the innocent.
a. Franklin Roosevelt: "I would rather lose New Zealand, Australia or anything else than have the Russian front collapse."
Robert Dallek, "Franklin D. Roosevelt and American Foreign Policy, 1932-1945," p. 338.
b. Jimmy Carter began his presidency at Notre Dame with a speech that included “…We are now free of that inordinate fear of Communism which once led us to embrace any dictator who joined us in our fear.”
The slaughter of over 100 million men, women, and children notwithstanding.
c. President Barack Obama downplayed the differences between capitalism and communism, claiming that they are just “intellectual arguments.” He urged those at a town hall eventin Buenos Aires, Argentina on Wednesday to “just choose from what works.”

3. This, in light of the facts:
"Under capitalism, the standard of living of all was improving: prices falling, incomes rising, health and sanitation improving, lengthening of life spans, diets becoming more varied, the new jobs created in industry paid more than most could make in agriculture, housing improved, and middle class industrialists and business owners displaced nobility and gentry as heroes."
Robert Sirico, President, Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty
4. But America has a new champion, who promises:
“Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. America was founded on liberty and independence --- not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free, and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”
President Trump
Amen to that.
