William J. Federer is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc. He’s the speaker on The American Minute daily broadcast. He’s authored numerous books including: America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations, Who is the King in America?, Silence Equals Consent: The Sin of Omission, and Socialism: The Real History from Plato to the Present–How the Deep State Capitalizes on Crises to Consolidate Control.
More than ever, we’ve seen a surge of socialism dominating the political spectrum. More candidates have adopted a socialist mindset than at any time in our modern history. The Daily Signal points out that according to a new report by the State Policy Network, “…the real strength lies in its organizing power at the state and local levels, which provides the ability to raise up national leaders.” The State Policy Network also reported that in 2013, the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) showed just 21 chapters, mostly in metropolitan areas. That has now grown some ten times to 204 distinct chapters and 45 organizing committees. And these are not limited to just blue states but in red ones as well.
While most victories have come on the state and local level, this November 3rd has the potential to have two such candidates win a seat taking them to the United States Senate. Brooke Medina, vice president of communications at the State Policy Network, indicated that the Democratic Socialists of America aren’t just building momentum: “they’re building their bench” of candidates in elections to come.
Yet there are others that are downplaying both the role and impact of socialism upon our country and in this forthcoming election, some believe that capitalism is the real threat and socialism is simply an effort to protect the rights of the working person.
Why has this shift in attitude taken place, especially among American young people who seem infatuated with this concept? Are there elements of Machiavellianism at play here? How about the Cloward/Piven strategy? What is the Fifth Column? What about the concept of deconstruction? If you’re not familiar with these terms, listen as William Federer holds a history class as he explains how these past processes, including Islamic efforts, are at work today, attempting to mold the concept of socialism into something palatable to America.
