Can the US survive socialism and is it White Supremacist?

While Democrats will have you believe they are of help to minorities, given the results of their “progressive” policies- which can be seen in the inner cities- we immediately realize we have to look at every policy two fold- intention and effect.

Socialism, an emerging trend in the Democratic party, is often advertised as for the minorities and for the poor. The hated capitalist system is seen as having let down non- whites. (Which of course can be easily proven wrong as the people at the top of the economic ladder are Asians.)

Looking at socialism through the “intention and effect” lens we get a different perspective. We assume here that the effect was not known among the proponents. There are cases in which the real intention is different from advertised intention. This is not uncommon in the democratic party, especially after the influence of Saul Alinsky on it-who was an inspiration to both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Socialism is viewed increasingly favorably among the younger generations with up to 70% of millennials willing to vote for a socialist while it still remains unfavorable among the general population with only 43% viewing it favorably. For socialism to work the majority of people in the community should accept it. Private property is ensured by those in the community and can therefore can be taken away by the same.

First socialism has to be defined. It is commonly defined as “an economic system in which the government owns the means of production”. If socialism is implemented we can expect the government to nationalize large industries like HealthCare, energy and banks. While small business’s fate would uncertain there would be a certain degree of risk for it- like robbery and looting- if their rights are not ensured- which can be done by the state and local governments. Practically, if a robber who robs a business like a small shop is not arrested and convicted by a court, survival of small business would be difficult.

If socialism is implemented we can expect a situation similar to Venezuela. A severe economic crisis marked by hyperinflation and shortage of even basic necessities like food. While socialism would be a massive federal overreach, the degree to which the federal government can implement real socialism is questionable. The individual states- at least the red ones- can ensure the rights of small businesses in their respective states. This can keep the economy of the country afloat.

Most likely, if the red and blue states follow vey different paths, there would be an exodus from the blue states to the red ones. This will be similar to the Cuban Mariel boatlift or the Vietnamese Mass Boat People exodus. The economic effects of it will be similar to the past- as a result of competition from people from blue states, housing costs will increase and wages will reduce in the red states. This can be dealt with easily by cutting regulation.

A federal law stating that states turn over control of millions of small businesses from their owners to the federal government would be extremely hard to implement even with the support of the local police force. Even their cooperation would be uncertain- at least in the red states.

The above scenario completely rules out secession and also assumes the balance of the supreme court shifts left within the years

Venezuela still hasn't returned to capitalism, why? Because it is under an authoritarian regime established under Chavez and passed onto Maduro which can’t be removed even though the support among the people is extremely low. What can be done to prevent this in the US? One interesting observation is that there were gun ‘buy backs’ and confiscation of firearms in Venezuela. This resulted in a disarmed population. By comparison the US has the highest estimated gun ownership rate and citizens not as comfortable to surrender their firearms to the government. If guns were still retained by the people after socialism is implemented the chance that irreversible damage would be done is unlikely.

How would socialism take over and can it be reversed? Once a openly socialist candidate comes to power the stock market will drop in speculation of poor economic policies. This will immediately be felt among voters. Once socialist policies nationalizing industries are adopted, the economy would likely fall into a recession similar to the one in 2008. This would further increase the disapproval of the socialist candidate. This would be felt across the world unlike countries like Cuba or Venezuela because the US economy is the largest in the world. The effect would be several times compounded as the economy of the US is dependent on other countries as well. By this time, the socialist would have lost almost all approval. If the citizens are armed till this time(very likely), the socialist candidate would be replaced in the next election. If the citizens aren’t armed(unlikely) the socialist could impose martial law and tyranny by using the military and the SWAT teams of the FBI, IRS, etc.- which will serve the purpose the Gestapo served in Nazi Germany.

The military is having ‘woke’ training with Critical Race Theory and obsession over race, gender, etc. right now.
