Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members and unaffiliated socialists would be nothing without capitalism; that’s according to political commentator Victor Davis Hanson. He says the top proponents of socialism have lived a life of wealth and privilege.
Here’s more. (READ)
Victor Davis Hanson makes a great point: Why do people like Hasan Piker, who attack capitalism, live like rich capitalists?
HANSON: "How does Ro Khanna give lectures and live in this house on a congressman's salary? Was it his father-in-law's capitalism? Yes."
"How is it Hasan can drive a $200,000 Porsche? Was it because he was a nepo baby? Yes."
"How can Mr. Mamdani lecture everybody and have a beautiful, comfortable, materialistic existence in the United States if it's not for capitalism?"
"All of these people, it's all a big show. They go out and trash people, and then they pose as anti-capitalist."
"Then you start to examine them, and they're all privileged."
The people attacking capitalism often seem to benefit from it the most.

They're rich people complaining about other people being rich

It’s not just complaining; they’re actively trying to upend the economic system that created the wealth they enjoy.
Posters say these DSA luminaries have a lot in common with a historical socialist revolutionary.

Karl Marx was a privileged child who never worked a day in his life
Piker and Khanna aren't putting their own wealth on the line. They are after power, especially power over what they see as the decadent West, and they are just hubristic enough to think they won't get eaten up in the chaos they are working so hard to foment.

And those who aren’t privileged who follow them attack capitalism out of envy. The privileged at the top anti-capitalist are after power, they want to be the ones in control.

It’s always ultimately about power.
Commenters noticed that Hanson wasn’t feeling the Bern.
Don’t forget @BernieSanders the hypocrisy is disgusting

What’s scary about this is how dangerous the low information crowd can be when they are so easily manipulated to vote for the radical left.

Those mentioned by VDH love the economically illiterate. The less their voters know and understand, the better.
