“‘Together we will defeat communism, socialism and Marxism in America,’ said President Trump in a mid-term election spot. ‘America will never be a communist country.’ But what does he mean by those words? … ‘You can’t defeat socialism with an alternative form of collectivism,’ explains Agustina Vergara Cid of the Register, ‘only with its opposite: the principle that the individual is not a means to any group’s end.’ That’s unfortunately not how Trump or Vance approach the issue … but that may be of limited relevance, considering that their failures led to a backlash sending actual communists into Congress.” (11/09/26)
