A headline in The Hill captures a significant moment in American history: "Four socialist-backed candidates win Pennsylvania legislative primaries."

The Democratic Socialists of America supported all four candidates, who will almost certainly win in November, given their lack of GOP opponents.

The DSA itself thinks socialism's time has come:

The DSA hailed the legislative victories as a huge moment for the socialist movement.

Arielle Cohen, co-chair of the Pittsburgh DSA chapter, told HuffPost that she feels a "monumental shift" after the victories, noting DSA's growing membership since President Trump's election.

"We won on popular demands that were deemed impossible. We won on health care for all, we won on free education," she said.

"We're turning the state the right shade of red tonight," she added.

If the millennials want socialism, that’s up to them. But they’ll wish they hadn’t.

Most millennials think everything we have here in America just fell out of the sky one day, or it was stolen from the Indians.

You are exactly right. The majority of them will be brought to mourning if they are able to transform this nation from freedom to the tyranny of socialism. Unfortunately, socialism cannot be reversed without the horror of war.

“Unfortunately, socialism cannot be reversed without the horror of war.”

Baloney. Government indoctrination centers are the cause, millenials being pro-socialism is the result.

I doubt it. But if it's true, the book to read is Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy by Joseph Schumpeter.

It seems that if you just got a temporarily free and fake education and walked into a market with no easy fake jobs, and it didn’t work for you, you wouldn’t double down on a temporarily free and fake set of more of the same illusion times 1000.
