Censorship, price regulations, heavy regulations and punishing political opponents is just the beginning
The radicals assembled in Chicago this week under the banner of joy and hope, but their rhetoric was filled with anger and hatred. Their actions and proposals, however, are far worse for the future of America.
All the warnings of a Marxist regime are there: a political coup, government control of the economy through price controls and heavy regulations, manipulation of government agencies and the courts to punish political opponents, censorship, unwillingness to talk to independent media outlets, government determined outcomes, religious persecution, and the list goes on and on.
Just months ago, President Biden carried every primary and caucus on the Democrat side. He had more than enough delegates committed to him to win the nomination, yet Vice President Kamala Harris is now the standard bearer for his party. There was no medical emergency. No change of heart. Mr. Biden was pushed out. It was a modern-day political coup.
voters are upset over prices, so the Harris-Walz campaign ignored the facts that high levels of government spending, a shift away from energy independence, and mounds of red tape were driving up inflation and prices. Instead, they decided to blame corporations for high costs and propose price controls.
A government-run economy does not work. Venezuela was once a thriving country. Look what cost controls via socialism did to that once prosperous nation. Cuba, North Korea, and the former Soviet republics are all case studies for why government control of the economy does not work. The price controls proposed by Ms. Harris are likely to lead to higher prices or shortages in supply (like the lines for gas in Venezuela.
Eventually Marxist regimes tell the people the size of their home, modes of transportation, and even how many children they must have in their family. We see this in Communist China today. They use phrases like equity to justify their actions.
