Pentagon’s National Defense University to Host Lecture on the Case for Democratic Socialism
Breitbart News ^ | 2/11/2022 | Kristina Wong

The Department of Defense’s National Defense University (NDU), the premier education institution for military and defense civilian leaders, is planning to host a lecture on how Western countries should adopt socialism in response to the challenge from China.

The lecture, which is scheduled to take place online February 16, is titled, “Responding to China: The Case For Global Justice and Democratic Socialism,” and will be given by French economist Thomas Piketty, who is the author of a 2021 book titled Time for Socialism.

A summary of the event, posted on the university’s website, reads:

Western countries are still struggling to define their attitude towards the Beijing regime. In this talk on February 22, 2022, Thomas Piketty will argue that the right answer lies in ending Western arrogance and promoting a new emancipatory and egalitarian horizon on a global scale, a new form of democratic and participatory, ecological and post-colonial socialism. If they stick to their usual lecturing posture and a dated hyper-capitalist model, Western countries may find it extremely difficult to meet the Chinese challenge.

Our “leaders” already have.

This is about selling communism to the free world.

They’re about to find out what a “social contract” really means.

Our communist masters are on, what appears to be, an unstoppable roll...

This is just another action that adds several more links to the chains of tyranny that weigh us serfs down...

However, NBD!
Our communist masters know that the Aamerican sheeple will just roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
Get used to it or do something significant about it...

exclusive in Murdoch’s “The Australian” newspaper...behind paywall. reporting on the interview somehow had it sounding like submission to China:

11 Feb: The Australian: China aims to dominate the world: Antony Blinken
The Chinese government’s strategic ambition has expanded so that it now aims to dominate the entire world in military and economic power, according to visiting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. In an exclusive interview with The Australian, Mr Blinken said China wanted to institute a new world order marked by illiberalism.

11 Feb: Daily Mail: Alarming China warning issued to Australia: US Secretary of State says the communist force wants to dominate the WORLD and become the ‘leading military, economic, and political power’
China wants to dominate the entire world in military and economic power: US
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken launched furious attack while in Australia
Mr Blinken praised the way Australia has handled China’s economic coercion
By CAMERON CARPENTER FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA and AAP
During a trip to Melbourne, Anthony Blinken praised the way Australia has held its mettle against Chinese economic bullying.
‘To my mind, there’s little doubt that China’s ambition over time is to be the leading military, economic, diplomatic and political power not just in the ­region but in the world,’ Mr Blinken told The Australian newspaper.

‘From the perspective of the US, and I think for Australia too, what we are about is not standing against China, per se, not trying to hold it down or contain it, but standing up for the rules-based order that is being challenged.’...

I think the liberals don’t like Xi as front man for China.

They love CCP but think Xi is doing a bad job “optics”-wise.

“This event is presented by the Pentagon’s Strategic Multilayer Assessment program in collaboration with National Defense University’s Eisenhower School of National Security. Eisenhower’s name. His institution is being used to host an event promoting socialism in America,”(Sebastian) Gorka said, adding that American taxpayers are paying for the event. “I’m not even disgusted — that’s not even a strong enough word. I’m horrified.”

All the prog "elites" talk and talk about the magical wonderfulness of socialism BUT none of them are moving to China or Cuba...

… given by French economist Thomas Piketty….

Once again, some Eurocrat is going to regale us on the benefits of European Socialism while relying on our military to protect their sorry a**e* from Russia.

I hope he includes slides about how militaries aren’t important to Democrat Socialistic nations.

Socialism and Communism both guarantee a small elite absolute power and wealth over an enslaved population.

That is why the “experts” are pushing them.

Protect them from Russia? The Russian army is about 15% of the size it was in the Fulda Gap days. Ever wonder why socialist Europe and DC hates them so much?
They have a central bank owned by the government and the globalists can’t get their hands on it. Their debt to GDP is 19%. Ours is 130%. Western companies are not allowed to gain ownership of the old and gas.

Socialists HATE a part of the world they cannot control.

They hate Putin and Trump for the same reason. Both are right in the path of globalism.

These assholes are paid to fight wars and to study how to win wars, not promote any politics of any kind. Fire them, fire their bosses, put them in jail, send them to Cuba or Venezuela, STFU end this now.

The Pentagon is now an enemy of the people and the Republic?

At this point I’m not even a little bit surprised.
