Recently Rolling Stone magazine published a story that urges the millennial generation to demand communism in America by eliminating private property, "guaranteeing" everyone a job and turning banks into state property. After finding some opposition on Twitter, the writer let loose some ideas that didn't make the cut of his article: "exterminate" the rich and take away their money and property.
After reading the article published on January 3, one thing we learn from former Occupy Wall Street organizer Jesse A. Myerson is that he thinks things are bad in America today. America is so bad--or, as he so eruditely puts it, America "blows"--that he thinks it is time to institute some of the worst communist tropes in the anti-capitalist's bag of tricks, all the same boring ideas that have been proven disastrous everywhere they've been tried for over 100 years.
It was very clever of the global progressives to disguise a variant of progressivism as conservatism by defining a faux conservatism which involves 'compassionate conservatism', removing ethics and patriotism from business decisions, profits uber alles, so called 'free trade' among all nations, unimpeded movement of goods and 'natural persons' across borders, 'comparative advantage', a 'living' constitution, making big government 'efficient', amnesty, etc.
What the Millennials and the author Myerson do not know is that pursuing blatant progressivism (social, economic, educational, gender based, environmental, justice, equal outcomes for all, amnesty, sustainability) will only exacerbate the dire economic conditions we are now facing.
