The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and its allies, who are rapidly gaining traction in the Democratic Party, want to turn "food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation" into "common goods and utilities" run by the government "in a future without capitalism." But never mind, I'm told. I'm assured by responses to my recent column on the surge in left-wing radicalism that "when your representatives vote and allocate your tax dollars for a library," that is "democratic socialism."
Oh, really? So, we're talking about borrowing books and not eliminating private property or the DSA's embrace of totalitarian regimes in Cuba and Venezuela? You could have fooled me.
