Enter the New Democratic Socialist Party.
Funny about that; Hitler called his party Socialist too.
What a sublime coincidence. In 1933, Chancellor Adolf Hitler began to coalesce his brand into the National Socialist Party. Is that a bad thing? Yes, for those of you who have not the benefit of my humble yet thoroughly American education, it is a horror.
At first glance, it looks great. At one time, we were all following the teachings of Jesus Christ, who fed many with loaves and fishes. Come to think of it, I used to go to a coffee house in the wild 60’s called the Loaves and Fishes.
I doubt the 16-year-old me had much in the way of money. In fact, I am sure that I did not. But the message then was clear: Disperse all worldly goods. I recall a group called The Diggers. Their mission in Haight Ashbury was feeding the masses; even if they drove a Porsche.
Nowadays, I just send a check. Or not. If any platform so much as hints at the terrifying ESG, DEI, BLM, or any other threat to the Constitution of the United States of America—I run as fast as my old legs can go.
Those entities are antithetical to what the Founding Fathers designed after the Articles of Confederation failed.
You most likely never heard of the Articles of Confederation. I happen to have a degree in History, bestowed by a Catholic University before Academia embraced WOKE policies. In other words, you went there to get an education. You received your diploma because you did your coursework; not because you were/are a black lesbian.
Although I was never a Catholic, or black lesbian, for the most part I believe that the Catholics have stood as a bulwark against nontraditional marriage and they revere the Constitution.

During those long-ago college years, I studied History with a minor in Journalism. I met my husband because I was offered an assistantship at Temple University in Philadelphia. I was offered a couple in Ohio as well, but I figured that Temple was at least in Pennsylvania.
That section of Pennsylvania is closer to NYC, so it is very different, in the socio economic sense, to New York. Pittsburgh’s culture resembles Ohio and West Virginia. It is almost on a different planet than Philadelphia.
In any case, it was an adventure; as was much of my life up to then. I never finished that program, because it was comprised of what I already knew from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.
I ended up married with children five years later. This did not stop my travel addiction. Any time the husband was granted a vacation from his 80-hour work week, I packed the formula, diapers and with a mastery of frequent flier miles, the kids were schlepped to France, Italy, Costa Rica a wherever else struck my imagination.
I have sat in dives in Paris and argued in French against communism. In Costa Rica my husband played ping pong with a Spanish man and son, while talking about everything under the sun.
So, it is fair to say that we have been there…and back.
Later on, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from another Catholic college, now Holy Family University. Urged to go on for a Master’s by my teachers, life got in the way so I did not get a graduate degree.
However, I still keep my licence current, because you just never know.
Now we have this lovely inflation to occupy us. Bidenflation. That is what I call it. As good old Harry Truman said, “The Buck stops here.”
About 50 million Chinese bucks stopped with THe BIden Crime Family. He pretends to be a Catholic, even wearing an ash on Ash Wednesday. Then why is he pro-abortion? I grew up in an Italian Catholic neighborhood when folks actually read the rosary via the radio.
They were Catholics; Biden has his own religion. He gets the Chinese to bankroll The Church of Latter Day Biden Crooks. Why oh why did I break my brain by getting a 3.97 cum in nursing school? If I had known that selling America to China was so lucrative, that pesky inflation thingy would be but a passing cloud in my sky.
I wonder if there is a college that gives classes on how to sell America to China? Sign me up!
On the other hand, I am cognizant that the sands of my personal hourglass are running to the inevitable end. So, when I meet my maker, I will not have Biden’s sin to expatiate.
I have lots of others though. Use your imagination. Good girls are good; bad girls are interesting.
There is a Chinese curse that states: May you live in interesting times.
I think 2023 qualifies. Now, we have that ugly Socialism raising its unsuccessful head again. Folks, do yourself a favor and go to the library and find the oldest history book available.
Socialism is as old as the hills. The caveman hills, most likely.
Here is what your antique history book will tell you that your unfree press will not:
SOCIALISM ALWAYS FAILS. ALWAYS.
Venezuela.
Cuba
Algeria
Portuguese Republic (45 years, 63 days.) * was run by a Socialist uniparty.
Eretria
Hungary (changed their ways.)

Derg (another one I never heard of. Are they Dergians?)
People’s Democratic Republic of Ethiopia
Lao People’s Democratic Republic

Israel (1948-1953) 1991.
Second East Turkestan Republic
Colombia (sadly, this is new. The door is closing quickly!)
USSR (A gas station in the guise of a nation.)
China (Now, the lucky few are capitalists!) Oh, they go to Singapore for plastic surgery. Xi’s best bud is…Putin. What a lovely couple!
I obtained this list from Wikipedia. That page listed plenty of sources, as well as a timeframe for each case. (A few of these places, like Israel and Colombia I have actually been to. )
One aspect of many of these failed states that I find hilarious is that often, these socialist and socialist-leaning states have names like: People’s Republic, or People’s Democratic, or quite simply, Democratic. Think about it. Absurd to the extreme!
And, if Barack Hussein Obama and his best bud George Soros have there way, soon, we shall have: The Democratic People’s Republic of the United States.
Come on, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Claudia Tenney. You know, and we know, that Biden the Brainless goes to bed at 8pm and is not running this current shit show. But wow! Loads of cash for those creepozoids!
Wonder if any of them needs a mistress? I adhere to philosopher René Descartes, I Shop, Therefore I Mm. So, I shall load up that gold Amex and then leave them with the bill. Sounds completely fair to me. I will share with The Husband, never fear!
