Vocal Point-Bill Federer

Topic: Socialism and the Midterms

Socialism has been a failure everywhere it’s been tried. Yet socialism is quite popular with a lot of young people today—even many professing Christians. In some ways, the mid-term elections will be a referendum on socialism. A rising star of the left, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is the poster child for the “free stuff” (versus freedom) agenda. She surprisingly won the primary against a ten-term U.S. Congressman in New York City. Her platform calls for Medicare for All and tuition-free college and trade schools. Such political promises sound good. But what are the realities? Modern America, postulates Bill Federer, can learn from the ancient pre-BC Greek writer and philosopher, Plato.
