“Democratic Socialism” in a Nutshell

Why should Elon Musk have it all? Let’s take the wealth and spread it all out. Let’s make it so everyone will immediately and permanently have an income of, say, $200K per year. Medical care, cell phones, Internet–all those will be free, forever. Who but a racist pig could oppose this? Vote “socialist Democrat” immediately.

What if the people making all the money through innovation, hard work and risk-taking stop making money? What happens then? How can you spread non-existent wealth? Only a racist would ask.

This is the extent of the thinking — more precisely: feeling — giving rise to the Communism sweeping Democratic primaries across the country. The ignorance and shallowness of the thinking is stupendous. Yet here we are.
