Leftism Doesn't Work
How do you like America's four-year experiment with Leftism?
In the 10 June 2024 American Greatness article, The Left Knows Leftism Doesn't Work, Victor Davis Hanson points out that "If Biden and his handlers have taught us anything, human nature cannot be fooled, and the current four-year experiment will have to end before it ends us - and soon." Excerpts follow:
Do not expect the radical left to survey the wreckage of socialism and communism in history and accept that statism impoverishes people and erodes their freedoms... Still, leftists look around at what they have done to America in the last four years and implicitly know that the plan did not work...
None of the major Biden "achievements" - 10 million illegal aliens across a nonexistent border, key components of the cost of living 25-30 percent higher than in 2020, wars and chaos abroad, DEI racial and tribal obsessions, wars on fossil fuels - poll at even 40-45 percent...
Suddenly, we aren’t hearing so much about cancelling pipelines and freezing federal oil leases... Instead, Biden is further draining the strategic petroleum reserve and begging OPEC in general and the no-longer-demonized Saudi Arabia in particular to pump oil as fast as possible...
We were lied to for nearly four years that the border was "secure,"... Instead, as November looms, Biden is suddenly reinstating the very Trump executive orders... which Biden himself had originally overturned...
Few on the left praise the disastrous COVID lockdown, the canonization of Dr. Fauci, the mask and social-distancing craze...
The same recognition is beginning to apply to the lawfare waged against Donald Trump...
In short, the policies that the left has given us over the last years - hyperinflation, spiking staple and gas prices, racial and tribal chauvinism, dangerous streets, an emasculated and politicized military, and wars abroad - did not work, and are now being masked to retain power, put on hold, or even reversed.
The reasons for the failure are ancient, given that socialism and progressivism are contrary to human nature...
