86 Democrats just voted to support Socialism.

They're not even trying to hide it.

Last month, I set a goal of getting 100 new paid subscriptions on here, or else I’d put up a paywall. We came up a bit short, but some of you purchased subscriptions on multiple sites to make up the difference. I so appreciate your support.

I’m upping content production this month, and would like to convince 50 new supporters to join to stay on track. If you appreciate my work, please consider a $5/month or $50/year subscription.

If you can’t financially support my efforts, please consider sharing my work with your friends and family to spread the message. I can’t do it without you.

Some may argue that it seems like a waste of time for the Republicans in the House of Representatives to introduce a resolution condemning socialism.

I would argue that it was an easy and low-cost way to get a sense of where everyone stands.

In my book Actively Unwoke, I write the following:

I was a Democrat for twenty years before leaving the party in early 2020 when I came to the realization that they had abandoned the values of individual liberty and freedom that I had joined the party for. I bring this up because when I was a Democrat, and even still today, it drives me crazy when I hear conservatives and Republicans ranting about a socialist/communist agenda in relation to everything the political left wants to do. It’s a default excuse they use to oppose something when they’re too lazy to come up with a real argument or an alternative solution.

However, in this case they’re actually not wrong.

I know that, for some of you, the threat of socialism/communism might seem silly or cheesy but in this case it’s real, and you’ll understand why as this chapter unfolds. For right now what you need to know is that wherever you sit on the political spectrum—left, right, center, or off in the land of the politically homeless—this is not one of those times where you should dismiss the idea of a socialist ideology attempting to corrupt our systems. That’s literally happening in precisely the way Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov told us it would in the 1980s. (Look up those videos on YouTube, if they haven’t censored them yet.)

These days, I feel like a conspiracy theorist every time I say that the four goals of the woke left are to gain as much power as possible, destabilize the system, attack capitalism, and usher in their Marxist utopia.

It sounds crazy.

But I’ve also never been so sure that I’m right.

Week after week for over two years, I’ve spent my Friday afternoon streaming Happy Hour, where I go live on my channel and we watch a woke training that has been given at a company, or a lecture given at a college, or a training lesson for teachers, etc. These are not crackpots on the internet - they are people working in an official capacity to spread the message of the woke left through our institutions.

And every single week, they talk about abolishing capitalism in some capacity. It doesn’t matter what the training is, from organizations to schools, they almost always mention capitalism as the enemy.

That’s how I know that the real enemy of the woke left is capitalism - because they will tell you so, out loud, almost every time they are charged with teaching people in any capacity.

You can see for yourself each Friday at 5pm eastern time on my channel. Subscribe to join us.

Anyway, so I feel like a conspiracy theorist for saying this even though I’m seeing it happen right in front of me every week.

And then today, this vote happened.

Republicans in the US House of Representatives introduced a resolution to condemn socialism.

And 86 Democrats voted against it, with 14 more abstaining by voting present:

Here is the text of the resolution

The Democrats who voted against the resolution, or who chickened out and voted present, are sure to put some spin on why. They’ll tell you that Republicans only introduced this to go after entitlement programs or Obamacare.

They are depending on you not taking the time to read the resolution for their story to hold water. So, let’s see what they voted against:

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Denouncing the horrors of socialism.

• Whereas socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has time and time again collapsed into Communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and brutal dictatorships;

• Whereas socialism has repeatedly led to famine and mass murders, and the killing of over 100,000,000 people worldwide;

• Whereas many of the greatest crimes in history were committed by socialist ideologues, including Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, and Nicolás Maduro;

• Whereas tens of millions died in the Bolshevik Revolution, at least 10,000,000 people were sent to the gulags in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), and millions more starved in the Terror-Famine (Holodomor) in Ukraine;

• Whereas between 15,000,000 and 55,000,000 people starved to death in the wake of famine and devastation caused by the Great Leap Forward in China;

• Whereas the socialist experiment in Cambodia led to the killing fields in which over a million people were gruesomely murdered;

• Whereas up to 3,500,000 people have starved in North Korea, dividing a land of freedom from a land of destitution;

• Whereas the Castro regime in Cuba expropriated the land of Cuban farmers and the businesses of Cuban entrepreneurs, stealing their possessions and their livelihoods, and exiling millions with nothing but the clothes on their backs;

• Whereas the implementation of socialism in Venezuela has turned a once-prosperous nation into a failed State with the world’s highest rate of inflation;

• Whereas the author of the Declaration of Independence, President Thomas Jefferson, wrote, “To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, and the fruits acquired by it.”;

• Whereas the “Father of the Constitution”, President James Madison, wrote that it “is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest”; and

• Whereas the United States of America was founded on the belief in the sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic system of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and necessarily opposed: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress denounces socialism in all its forms, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States of America.

The resolution is very clear. It doesn’t mince words. And it’s not about entitlements. It’s about protecting individualism and the American dream.

And 86 Democrats voted against it, with another 14 abstaining from a committed action.

You’re not a conspiracy theorist. This is really happening.

Make sure you know how your representative voted.
