Yes, it's all the old "communist, socialist" rhetoric from the damn John Birchers, who USED to be considered a radical fringe and in fact still ARE a radical fringe.

After the first time America rejected their bullshit, they managed to go underground, rally their wealthy allies and founders (Kochs, Adelsons, Petersons, Murdochs and others, along with big corprats and Wall St.) and BUY a lot of government and media control for themselves and get laws written in way that allow them to bombard the public day & night with their "specially formulated" propaganda using the media they control and to do so without any limitations at all. (thanks to some of their friends on the US Supreme Court - right, Mr. Thomas?).


Billionaires and millionaires on the left have to been unwilling to support an equally well-funded counter attack, and that is exactly what is needed. Without it, the modern JBS continues to brainwash the public. Not just those on the right. That "specially formulated" propaganda has managed to move the center so far right that the center is now what was once quite a bit right.
