With the rise of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and many other leftist politicians, the draw to socialism has taken hold of many American teens.
A new article published Friday titled "What Is Democratic Socialism and Why Is It Growing More Popular in the U.S.?" and written by Samuel Arnold, an associate professor of political theory at Texas Christian University, pushed the growingly popular concept of "democratic socialism" to readers of Teen Vogue, the online magazine on a mission to be the "young person's guide to saving the world."
After claiming, "Socialism: It’s back," the article initially attempts to posture as neutral, saying "So who’s right? That’s for you to decide. But first you need to know some basics."
Those "basics" turn out to be series of one-sided arguments that are incongruent with reality -- but seeing as the article is under Teen Vogue's new "Bread and Roses" series "exploring the growing interest in socialism among young people seeking alternatives to recovery in this pivotal moment in global history," that doesn't come as much of a surprise.
Arnold initially discussed the opposition to socialism, namely that of President Donald Trump, and described the kinds of people he believes oppose such a system.

There is no need to send people to Venezuela, the economic effects of the overreaction to the coronavirus will create the equivalent of Venezuela here.
I’ve seen a few issues of “Teen Vogue”. It is one of the most purely evil publications I’ve ever seen (especially in that it is aimed at teenie-boppers; they think they’re ready for this level of sexuality and perversion, but they’re NOT).
Right now the federal government is sending salary-replacement checks to millions of Americans.
It will fail here, too.

What alternative do we have, when tens of millions are unemployed? You’d have civil unrest if they weren’t given financial assistance.
Should we stand by and let people be tossed out in the street and stand in bread lines?

Ok kids, imagine you’re wealthy and the government, at the demand of freeloaders, takes 75% of your income to distribute among themselves (for being swell guys) and some token benefits for those freeloaders. That’s socialism.
How lovely it is when one puts “social”,”democratic”,”peoples”,”republic” etc in front of the leftist -ism which has murdered over 250 million and has never worked. The American education system does not teach this anymore. The DNC is a Socialist party and thus a good portion of America is already socialized.
