The President of the United States, entering the final stage of the race for the seat (less than three weeks left before the elections), again remembered his favorite theme: socialism and its unacceptability for the United States.
“Our country will not be able to survive as a socialist state, and this is what the democrats want.
The US will never become a large-scale version of Venezuela. "
Earlier, Trump also said that the United States will never become a socialist country, and a year ago he pointed out that "one of the most serious challenges for the United States is the specter of socialism," and called on the whole world to "resist socialism, because it brings suffering everywhere." ...
Just like in “October 16th,” where a conversation takes place between fellow travelers in the carriage: “I hope you are not a socialist?
So why don't we drink one at a time? "
It would seem that the topic is not new.
The denunciation of communism in general and the communist conspiracy directed against the United States, in particular, American magistrates and publicists have been engaged since the victory of the socialist revolution in Russia, which is more than a hundred years old.
There was a short-term and, moreover, only a partial break in this activity only in 1941-1945.
The concept of "Roll Back Communism" is also over 70 years old.
And now Chinese communism is being discarded.
True, one could argue that the term "communism" was used, while Trump is talking about socialism.
Although even here it is not original.
The ideologues of libertarianism (von Mises, Ayn Rand, and others) blasphemed socialism, and in their mouths it was a bogey no less terrible than communism.
Again, the "new course" of F.D.
Roosevelt, and subsequent measures in this spirit - because the socialization of the economy after Roosevelt was not canceled, there was no "exposure of the new course and its consequences" - opponents called socialism.
At worst - creeping socialism.
It's time to get used to it.
But no - Trump went on an anti-socialist campaign with youthful enthusiasm.
It is interesting here who he has in mind when he speaks of the socialists and their malignity.
It is unlikely that the gerontocrats from the leadership of the Democratic Party - Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and their peers.
Grooms and brides with lanterns have been looking for them in the next world for a long time, and in general, severe senile insanity does not contribute to the success of socialist (and any other) transformations.
"Sleepy Joe is already taking control, he has nothing to say," Trump said.
And the bard Yuri Vizbor (who later played Bormann) echoes him: "Communism is the youth of the world, and it should be erected by the young!"
So the President of the United States rather had in mind the young democratic growth, which is preparing to take the places of veterans of the Democratic Party, like M.S.
Gorbachev, who sat on the throne when the Kremlin elders left for another world.
The most prominent representative of the young, unfamiliar tribe is the 31-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who triumphantly won the elections to the US Congress in 2018 and soon presented the public with the Green New Deal, a program of comprehensive and radical transformation.
These include greening the energy industry, eradicating domestic flights to be replaced by rail, naturally creating millions of good, high-paying jobs, upgrading industry and every building in the country, providing high-quality medical care and higher education for all, and eliminating the cattle. livestock as it emits gases.
"This is a ten-year plan to mobilize all elements of the American social order on a scale not seen since the Second World War."
All pleasure will cost at least $ 7 trillion a year - that is, $ 70 trillion for the decade of the "Great Leap Forward."
Trump believes that $ 100 trillion.
Perhaps the young Socialist Democrats are sincerely convinced that money comes from the nightstand.
In addition, they have an idea to re-subordinate the FRS to the democratic administration, after which the public wealth will flow in a stormy stream.
And in general, as Chairman Mao said, proclaiming in 1958 the "Three Red Banners" course: "Three years of hard work - 10,000 years of happiness."
In the ideology of the current Democratic Party, in general, there is a lot from the "big leap".
Not only in greening, but also in blackening - BLM's initiatives to promote the progress of people of color are just as reckless.
In general, the Green New Deal is like putting a sickly head Greta Thunberg at the head of the world's largest power, giving her dictatorial powers.
It is no wonder that among the representatives of old America, among the philistines and rednecks, this evokes quiet (and even loud) horror.
And Trump uses this horror.
