To make such a declaration shows how lost and desperate the Left has become. The media and Leftists  as a whole have started a campaign to dismiss the negatives and downside to socialism, where people like Moulitsas here are literally dismissing its dark side. <\/p>\n<p>These people, now almost by the day, are defending and praising socialism because they have nothing left to stand on besides Trump is a bigot, racist and needs to be impeached.  If they think they can win elections by embracing the tenets of socialism based on the &#8220;successes&#8221; of the USSR, Cuba, and Venezuela they&#8217;re gravely mistaken. <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowfullscreen=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BDhgR1uQi-4?rel=0\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>They sucker their uneducated unengaged followers with the idea of healthcare, college education, free money and stuff leaving out one key factor: once the take all the money from the rich there&#8217;s nothing left to take and then the people have nothing to eat but their pets and zoo animals. <\/p>\n<p>Socialism is communism lite which resulted in millions being killed #1 through war because the govt will have to look to take someone else&#8217;s stuff #2 when that blows up in their face they will kill their own as we saw in Russia and China in the early 20th c.<\/p>\n<p>But by all means these Leftists should plug away and run on this platform that socialism is the greatest thing since apple pie. Give the votes two clear choices: your utopian nightmare that has never worked, which has resulted in starvation and death vs capitalism aka freedom which GOP\/ conservatives are offering that has produced the most powerful nation in the world where people can do what they want living a healthy(for the most part) free and happy life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the Daily Kos, weighed in that the democrat party must embrace socialism or they will become irrelevant.
