John Fund’s timely warning about the march of the Democratic Socialists through America’s electoral institutions should not be missed.
His forecast of a future in which the DSA becomes a full-fledged urban "political machine” is a dire one, and his criticism of the GOP for failing to “promote their own solutions to urban problems” is doubtlessly true. “The result,” Fund warns, “is that socialism, which had never really taken root in America, is now in danger of becoming the secular religion of many voters — especially disillusioned young people.”
