Good find but I don’t think that #15 is necessarily a socialist platform as written.
I consider myself a die-hard free market capitalist and anti communist. To me, a socialist is just a communist with a different employer.
But I don’t believe in anarchy either. I think there does need to be republican law to reign in the bad actors and I also believe there should not be the culling of favors between business and government.
Such patronage rarely benefits the public and I think this may be where they are coming from, given their #13, anti-globalist stance because the freedoms infringed by “globalism” are the same as infringed by patronage, just on a larger scale.
Nevertheless, you have excellent points. I don’t really know a lot about this group but I’m not really buying the media mantra equating them to nazis. I think they’re right on the line and toeing it, but have not actually crossed it yet.
Compared to the groups I know Soros supports, this one seems quite distant in beliefs so for the time being I will continue to disagree Soros is behind them. However I will be on the lookout for his fingerprints.
