Pulling It Off

Dr. Cornel West

by Paul Jacob, Contributing Author: Give democratic socialism a chance?

So says doctor Cornel West, the “provocative democratic intellectual” who serves equally 1 of viii honorary co-chairs of the Democratic Socialists of America.

This accomplished Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy at Harvard University, together with Professor Emeritus at Princeton, explained to Fox News host Tucker Carlson that socialism’s “fundamental commitment is to the dignity of ordinary people together with to brand certain they tin give notice Pb lives of decency.”

“What happened inwards Venezuela?” Carlson asked West. “They called that democratic socialism. But they don’t own got bathroom newspaper together with it’s less equal than ever.”

“But business office of the occupation is though, brother,” the professor responded, “that whatever fourth dimension at that topographic point [have] been attempts past times ordinary people to engage inwards self-determination, they tin give notice larn crushed past times external nations. Look at U.S. of America policies toward Venezuela [which have] been very, rattling ugly — Nicaragua inwards the same way.”

West offered nary a specific to his charge, simply was handy stating his conclusion. “So, nosotros own got never had a direct a opportunity to actually line it off,” the “it” existence socialism.

“So it’s solely been a induce then far.”*

How convenient.

West implicitly acknowledges that those ruling Venezuela together with Nicaragua are practicing socialism. But he won’t concur them or the -ism responsible for the economical collapse, the hunger, the exodus of millions of rattling desperate “ordinary” citizens, the arbitrary arrests, purpose of torture together with murder of innocent citizens.

doctor West, a follow-up question: Just what specific U.S. of America policy triggered these socialists to murder together with torture their ain people?

This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

* doctor West too announced that socialism “is non an ‘ism,’ brother.” I intend the professor needs to accept a course of study inwards ism-ology.
