Hi JS,

Socialism is au courant in America today, though in its 21st-century form, it is less a rebellion of the proletariat than a by-product of the capitalist elite. Through its continued efforts to decrease the returns to human labour and by financing the very groups and ideologies increasingly dedicated to its overthrow, socialism has found fertile ground. Today, more than one in four Americans waves the red flag. And no wonder. The oligarchs have engaged in increasingly brazen spending on themselves – epitomised by Jeff Bezos’s profligacy – while the widely unpopular AI boom they’ve ushered in seems to be leaving everyone else behind. Amid record profits, Big Tech firms have cut some 240,000 jobs since 2024. Amazon alone cut 30,000 roles in the past year. There is no saving the left. There is only saving America from them.
