Liberal Media is Dishonestly Painting DSA Radicals as Gentle Reformers
Over on MSNOW, contributor Molly Jong-Fast recently talked about how they want free child care. What’s so radical about that?
While more Americans are waking up every day to the insurgence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) taking over the Democratic Party, the liberal media is working overtime to paint these radicals in a sympathetic light.
They just want healthcare for their fellow Americans, we’re told, as talking heads on TV gloss over the stated goals of these people.
Over on MSNOW, contributor Molly Jong-Fast recently talked about how they want free child care. What’s so radical about that?
NewsBusters reports:
As the Democratic Party is taken over by radical democratic socialists across America, the Republican Party has begun sounding the alarm regarding the socialist shift. On the other hand, Monday’s MS NOW Reports found itself more focused on attacking the Republicans. Instead of tackling the socialist takeover of their own party, host Antonia Hylton accused Trump of socialist policy this Monday in a bizarre and incoherent attack on his new “Trump Accounts”:
A program using public funds and taking money from private billionaires to transfer wealth to children. The kind of setup conservatives have sometimes described as socialist. All the while, the president and his allies are hammering Democratic candidates with that very label.
Hylton avoided the obvious fact that the billionaire’s funds are voluntary contributions to the program, and not the seizure of their wealth like the radical Democrats endorse. She glossed over all the good this program will do in order to unsuccessfully try and make Trump look like a hypocrite. Later, political analyst Molly Jong-Fast would even try to compare the program to Zohran Mamdani’s socialist policies in New York City:
Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, it’s a little on the nose, right? And again, this is the thing. So many of these programs and- and you hear this, Zohran talks about this. They’re free buses. They’re what New York just enacted, universal Pre-K and childcare.

On CNN, one of the hosts recently wondered aloud why Republicans are referring to DSA members as communists.
On Tuesday's CNN This Morning, Audie Cornish asked why some Republicans call DSA candidates communists:
"Do you think it's weird they’re skipping straight to communism? … And I just wonder why you can't just critique socialism as is, and you have to go straight to communism?" pic.twitter.com/87ObRQXMP1

Maybe Republicans are calling them communists because their members keep saying that communism is their goal.

You should also watch this clip, where multiple DSA members describe overthrowing the American empire.

Finally, just look at the DSA’s official platform, as outlined by City Journal:
The Democratic Socialists of America Just Adopted a Radical New Platform
Earlier this month, the Democratic Socialists of America’s top leadership met for an in-person meeting of their National Political Committee (NPC), the DSA’s governing authority. The result of the meeting was “Workers Deserve More!”, a rebooted platform for the organization featuring a host of radical proposals. The document commits DSA to scrapping the U.S. Senate, “abolishing the carceral forces of the capitalist state,” defunding the Department of War, amnesty for all immigrants, and “replac[ing] the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.”…
Instead, DSA leadership added four amendments: one on “real democracy”—calling for the replacement of “the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress”—another on police and prison abolition, a provision explicitly naming Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state, and a ranked-choice voting section. The NPC passed two of these four amendments unanimously, while the “real democracy” provision prevailed by a razor-thin margin.
“Workers Deserve More!” has revolutionary aspirations. It aims to “win the battle for democracy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic.” The document makes clear that achieving this vision would require “building a new society from the ground up,” accompanied by sweeping structural changes…
It would also defund the Department of War, close overseas bases, and end all economic sanctions—which would include those in states like Iran, Cuba, and Russia. The platform further endorses universal amnesty for illegal immigrants, and ending “restrictions on . . . marriage,” which would presumably entail the legalization of polygamy.
These people do not want to debate policy. They want to tear down the country and rebuild it in their image.
They are downright dangerous.

Starting over like it is 1926 in stead of now. I’ve heard it all before, seen it all before, read it all before and it never changes. To fight it takes know how, time and patience and the right people.
Paint the walls with their brain matter. That’s all communists are good for
A big part of the problem is we’ve got young mushbrains who’ve been indoctrinated ever since they entered government schools. (Why do you think they’re pushing universal pre-K and compulsory education through age 18? Hint: it’s not because of “free child care”…. that’s just a pretext.)
They want to make sure they play a larger part in molding young minds, and most parents simply can’t be trusted to teach them about the glories of collectivism and communism.
Young fools don’t realize that useful idiots are the first ones to be culled when “the revolution” really gets going.
They must be removed from our society, ship them out to a Communist paradise like North Korea or Cuba.
Never forget that FDR started this modern era of “free $#!+,” and LBJ expanded it greatly. It’s all fun and games as long as the idiot masses believe that “the wealthy” are going to pay for it all.
Doesn’t work like that in the real world – never has, and never will.
Like mostly peaceful protests where people die and property was looted and burned.
Yes, “free” stuff for the downtrodden, seized and administered by a coercive, profligate, corrupt, incompetent and fiscally illiterate band of lazy, private sector-avoiding, free market-vilifying communist/Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist Dhimmi-crat apparatchiks — who could reasonably be opposed to that notion?
The reason we’re ‘skipping straight to communism’ is b/c we believe in truth v deception (especially self deception like tranny). Without objective truth aka established facts there can’t be reasoning or logic just guesswork and emotional manipulation based on ‘feels’ and ‘vibes’. IOW the often unpleasant truths keep us tethered to reality v fantasy. The leftist wokiestas of the d/prog including their extremist DSA members reject truth/facts and objectivity b/c to embrace them would also require acceptance of responsibility. That is kryptonite to woke leftists. Free childcare is an easy example. The idea that one should not engage in sexual activity unless prepared to accept becoming a Parent with all that entails from pregnancy to providing basics of food, clothing, shelter and all the other myriad duties of Parental responsibilities to care for the child is anathema to the wokiesta/leftists. They want someone else to do those those things for them b/c acceptance of personal responsibility would interfere with their ‘freedom’ of lifestyle. So they want to park the kid with strangers in a warehouse (assuming they didn’t have an abortion) so they can go off to work to do what their corporate bosses tell them in return for wages to hand over to the childcare service b/c to stay home and raise their own child as tradition/logic dictate would be to surrender their ‘independence’. Strange that these feminists will happily perform assigned tasks at work but if they see another woman making the choice to be a traditional stay at home Mom they view it as slavery imposed by the patriarchy, especially when the ‘patriarchy’ are the corporate bosses who order the feminists around at work.
Socialism is faulty because it denies human nature. Capitalism is superior because it harnesses human nature. People are naturally aware of the problems that pervade their own environments, so they recognize the deficiencies and faults of the economic systems within which they live. No system is perfect. But the evils in both systems aren’t inherent, they’re the result of having people involved in running them. People corrupt all systems, running even theoretically perfect systems imperfectly (at best) and oppressively/extractively (at worst). So, the question is, “Do we want a corrupt but superior economic system or a corrupt and inferior economic system?”
Well it is no surprise that the media is downplaying DSA radicalism and wish list, After all, DSA is the democrats and they hitched their fortunes to the democrats long ago. What else are they supposed to do, Never mind that many of them are very wealthy and would be the second to be lined up against the wall and shot.
The Democrat Party and the media are having a messaging problem. Some “mainstream” Dems are decrying the DSA’s agenda (if only because the DSA is saying the quiet part out loud) while the MSM is denying that the DSA is communist. Their usual unified talking points have diverged, which is highly unusual and probably indicative of panic.
The democrats were saying all along that had a messaging problem that prevented them from connecting with voters. There was quite a bit of laughter about that on the Republican side. However, if you are correct than they were right unless this is yet a different messaging problem.
Confusion to the Enemy!!
Especially so outside the d/prog +20 CD. All the radical nonsense may play in deep blue jurisdictions but that’s less likely in the 2 dozen – 3 dozen truly competitive CD or in purple States. In those places they at least hide their intentions until after election is over like Spanberger in VA claiming to be a moderate and while campaigning rejecting some of the.Cray Cray. The problem is the narrow margins in the truly competitive contests. If the d/prog embraces the radical Cray Cray nonsense they lose the normies and Indys who might otherwise have been lulled into voting for them but if they don’t then the radical wokiestas might stay home and cost them the election.
They scream mental illness.
Children are naturally born with free child care. It’s called parents.
“Molly Jong-Fast recently talked about how they want free child care. What’s so radical about that?”
Nothing, I guess.
So what group of people are we proposing to enslave to provide it?
Because only slaves work for free.
Free? TANSTAAFL*. Somebody has to pay for it.
* There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.
.
Another intellectual failure: NOTHING is free.
You know who else denied being a communist and claimed to be just a reformer who wanted a representative democracy and social justice in a well-planned economy? Fidel Castro.
As we all know, socialism doesn’t work without the use of extreme force. Unless you can lock up or execute those who refuse to cooperate, there can be no socialism.
But if these clowns abolish the police, army, and prisons, then how will they enforce their socialist mandates? What will they do if productive people simply refuse to work for no reward, on farms or in factories that were confiscated from them?
Presumably Antifa and other assorted leftist wokiesta goons who cosplay as Brown shirts (or would it be black block shirts?) In any event there will be some group chosen even if self selected to try and enforce the latest decrees b/c as you correctly point out it will require force.
Hell, we all know socialism doesn’t work *with* the use of extreme force and coercion. The extreme force just stops people from talking about how socialism isn’t working.
It “worked” for almost 70 years in the USSR.
With enough force you can make fantasies last a long time.
There are always people willing to be the force if it means they get even slightly better stuff.
Time to gas up the helicopters and wood chippers.
Remember, *you’re* a fascist for saying there are two genders, but we shouldn’t smear *them* as communists just because they talk about confiscating wealth and state seizure of the means of production and idolize Che Guevara and openly talk about being Marxists and how they want to institute communism.
Reminding thinking Americans everywhere, this is exactly why our Second Amendment rights are critical to the preservation of the Republic.
There are four kinds of communists:
1. Those who think they will be in charge after the revolution.
2. Those who genuinely think they are fighting for worker’s liberation.
3. Those who don’t think at all.
4. Those who will murder the first two and rule over the third group.
The DSA is run and populated by psychopaths.
