The Democratic Socialists of America have cooked up one of the most spectacularly braindead political scams imaginable: hand politicians control of your job, paycheck, housing, healthcare, and entire fucking industries, then celebrate because the workers are supposedly free. Jesus Christ, how gullible do you have to be to swallow this horseshit? Somebody still decides who gets hired, whose wages increase, which factories close, and where billions of dollars go. And under the DSA's socialist wet dream, those decisions belong to political appointees, party hacks, government planners, and bureaucratic ass-kissers whose greatest qualification is knowing which powerful asshole to flatter. Congratulations, comrades! You've abolished the evil corporate oligarch and replaced him with a government parasite who can control your entire goddamn livelihood. The Soviet Union already demonstrated how this miserable racket works. Ordinary workers stood in endless lines while the Communist Party's privileged nomenklatura enjoyed better housing, special stores, travel privileges, and exemptions. The peasants got lectures about equality. The party bosses got the fucking keys to the kingdom. And these historically illiterate jackasses want to resurrect the same machinery, slap a shiny Democratic Socialists label on it, and pretend they've invented economic justice. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom is practically drooling over the DSA's growing influence, predicting its demand for sweeping change will become mainstream Democratic politics. Of course ambitious career politicians love the prospect. Imagine controlling the government offices that distribute contracts, appoint corporate management, allocate housing, direct investment, and decide which businesses survive. It's a corrupt politician's ultimate fucking fantasy: enormous power, endless taxpayer money, and an army of useful idiots applauding their own political servitude. And that's the most infuriating part of this entire asinine spectacle. These socialist fools spend their lives bitching about billionaires having too much power, then demand a system granting politically connected government officials breathtaking authority over everyone else's lives. At least businesses face customers, competitors, and financial consequences. Try telling some smug, politically insulated bureaucratic prick controlling your housing or employment that his decisions are economically disastrous. He can tell you to fuck off, demand another appropriation, and congratulate himself for advancing social justice. The DSA promises to destroy oligarchy while enthusiastically building the administrative machinery for an even more politically entrenched ruling class. And the brain-dead revolutionaries cheering this bullshit actually imagine they'll be the ones running the show. Here's your workers' paradise, comrades: the party bosses get the penthouses, the privileges, and the power. You get a ration card, a government-approved job, and the privilege of kissing the asses of the very bastards you helped put in charge. Welcome to the revolution, suckers. You just voted yourselves into the servants' quarters. (article below)
