SOCIALISM ISN’T ABOUT ECONOMICS…IT’S RELIGION, NOT MATH,” Jonah Goldberg writes in his latest G-File. “Sanders isn’t motivated by racism or anything like it. He’s motivated by nostalgia and bad metaphors. And so are his mostly lily-white, affluent, fans. ‘We’ll always have Sweden’ is no less a fantasy than Rousseau’s ‘We’ll always have Sparta.’”
Though of course, as Glenn writes in his latest USA Today column, “The socialist utopias of Sanders’ dreams bear little resemblance to reality across the Atlantic… And if the Republicans really want to mess with Democrats’ minds, perhaps they should launch a new campaign to make America more like Europe.”
