How Socialism Quietly Took Root in America
It didn't start with a revolution. It started with labor unions and universities.
In the early 1900s, socialist ideas gained real traction through unions. Eugene V. Debs ran for president five times on the Socialist ticket, pulling nearly a million votes in 1912 and 1920. Communists were deeply involved in organizing strikes and industrial unions during the Depression. It wasn't fringe — it was part of the fight for better wages when capitalism looked shaky.
Universities gave these ideas intellectual oxygen. By the 1960s, the New Left didn't seize factories, they seized college departments. They stayed on campus, earned PhDs, and transformed humanities and social sciences. That's the "long march through the institutions": change society by controlling education, media, government, and culture.
Those graduates fanned out into K-12 teaching, journalism, Hollywood, nonprofits, government bureaucracies, and corporate HR. Ideas about class, power, and "oppressor vs. oppressed" spread through elite credentials, not shop floors. Today, surveys show many university departments lean overwhelmingly left — often 10-to-1 or more. The pipeline keeps reinforcing itself.
Joseph McCarthy was right that Soviet infiltration was real. Declassified Venona files proved spies were inside the Manhattan Project, State Department, and elsewhere. The Communist Party USA took orders from Moscow. But his sloppy methods and wild accusations discredited legitimate anti-communism and ruined careers on innuendo.
The real, lasting shift wasn't spies in the 1950s. It was a slower cultural takeover through universities and institutions — one that happened after McCarthy was gone. That pattern explains a lot about where we are today.
Not a typical gun collection, to say the least. Disregard the suppressors and look at the M2, LAW, and RPG. I don't see rounds for the spicier stuff, but doesn't mean they weren't available.
More trans terrorism? Nevada legacy media is reporting that a "Henderson woman" was arrested on June 27 for allegedly planning a terrorist m—ss shooting on the Las Vegas Strip and had amassed 22 guns in a car, including firearms equipped with suppressors.
But suspect "Allison Howlett" is not a woman. He is a man who identifies as trans. I have not identified his real name yet. He is partnered to another trans-identified man named "Julie Howlett."
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police found an additional 30 firearms at Howlett's home.
Howlett has been arrested on suspicion of making a threat related to an act of terrorism, assault with a deadly weapon, grand larceny, resisting a public officer with a firearm, and multiple weapons-related offenses.

@AndrewKolvet The senators care more about being re-elected than they do about tending to legitimate national concerns. Switching to elections for the US Senate was a huge mistake.
@MervinBray I wasn't aware I'd been appointed to police up this issue. I'll accept, contingent upon two conditions. 1) No politicians or bureaucrats are exempted 2) I have free rein to clean things up my way.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
