Marx and Engels espoused this idea of a 'false consciousness', that is a set of incorrect beliefs imposed by the aristocrats and capitalists that kept the worker pitted against his fellow worker. The theory goes that removing this illusion would bring them together and ultimately lead to the New Socialist Man and a society that was an eternal 'Imagine' John Lennon song.
The biggest irony is that no one holds to a more disconnected reality than a socialist. Our own Grateful Calvin documented Socialism 2026's insane take on obesity and Warren Squire's look at how nursing is political. These are just two hot takes coming out of DSA's Socialism 2026 convention. The Manhattan Institute's Stu Smith brings us so much more including their overt racism and calls for violent revolution.
🚨 NDLON Legal Director Chris Newman closes with a plea for DSA to reconcile socialism with “generous, open borders.”

The funny part is that DSA has formally supported open borders since 2019.
Newman seems less concerned with whether DSA backs open borders than whether… pic.twitter.com/jUGd9dx7AY
The rest of the post.
socialists are prepared to follow that principle all the way through on redistribution.
'Medicare for All for who? For the people that come in tomorrow? Tonight? For one day?'
Buried in the meandering rhetoric, is the question of whether their socialist pipe-dreams can accommodate the open borders they also espouse. The more they talk, the more it reveals their plans to be infeasible. It takes powerful indoctrination to not see it, but here we are.

You will be shocked, shocked to learn that they're not simply for 'Medicare for All'.

We wonder the same thing. They'd be hilariously harmless clowns except they have aspirations to power.
Their stupidity is remarkable. Astounding disregard for cause and effect.

Their inability to project a single step into the future should be studied. https://t.co/2TUTBNoBcW

And yet, occasionally, throughout history, they get to try their ideas out and millions die.

This writer receives a raft of crap for making this point, and justifiably so. But, think of the plague of AWFL (of all sexes) socialists who fund campus riots, astroturfed protests and radical national socialist candidates that could have been prevented by taking their disposable income away.
You know why people that are in sociology can always speak in abstract and say stuff like this?

The answer is : Repercussions.
All these sociology retards don't have laws set for them in propagating stupidity in books.
