Washington Post: It’s time to reclaim ‘socialism’ from the dirty-word category.

I love it when the left wing media finally shows who they really are. Now the Washington Post is finally out of the closet pushing socialism. That’s kind of funny considering their owner is Amazon owner and Falmer look-a-like Jeff Bezos. I don’t think Bezos would be raking in the billions of dollars he is now if this country was more like Venezuela.

The Washington Post published an opinion piece Sunday titled “It’s time to reclaim ‘socialism’ from the dirty-word category.” The point of the piece is ostensibly to explain what socialism is, but author Elizabeth Bruenig doesn’t actually get very far down that road. Instead, there’s a lot of hand-waving about the various historical varieties of socialism:

Having established that there are different varieties of socialism and that there is political interest in clouding the issue, we’re finally ready for the payoff. Now we’re going to get a cogent, unclouded explanation that will reclaim “socialism” from the dirty word category. Right?

Well, that would make sense given the headline and the setup of this piece, but no we don’t get that. Instead, we get one sentence attacking conservatives followed immediately by this: “Clarifying exactly what ‘socialism’ means once and for all likely won’t happen anytime soon.”
