Let’s vote for Democratic Socialist candidates like Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Melat Kiros, and Janeese Lewis George! Sweden implemented semi-socialist policies in the 1960s featuring extremely high taxes, government ownership of key industries, extensive regulation of the economy, and generous welfare benefits. Some naïve souls say: We have nothing to fear from Democratic Socialists of America. The Democratic Socialists of America are not the Stasi or Juche zealots, but neither are they benign Nordic redistributionists. The structure of the DSA is as convoluted as any Communist party’s, but in toto, the communists seem to be dominating.
