WSJ’s Freeman: 55% of Democrats Saying a Movement Toward Socialism Is a Good Thing Is ‘Disturbing’

EXCERPT:

FREEMAN: “It is disturbing. I think that a lot of those polls, once you explain to people what socialism actually is, it gets less popular. So, I would still maybe be encouraged by that. I do think, I know sometimes there’s this sort of dance where candidates on the far left or pals in the media may suggest that it’s socialism, not communism, and therefore very benign. But we’ve seen what the democratic socialists, that’s what they call themselves, did to Venezuela over the last 25 years, really, turned it from a thriving country into a hellhole of not just economic deprivation, but the loss of political rights. A Democratic Socialist dictatorship, basically, that was interrupted or, we’ll see, perhaps it continues, but Maduro obviously facing trial in the U.S. So, the Democratic Socialist so-called experiment is a disaster.”
