The Brief Case Against Democratic Socialism – Deirdre McCloskey

by | Feb 20, 2020

Imagine saying, “You Ma’m have benefited from the achievements of the Catholic Church. Therefore, the Catholic Church has the right to force you to fund it, force your children to attend Sunday mass, and cage you for not following Church edicts. Without the Catholic Church there would be no Commandments, and without those we would have chaos and no idea what right and wrong are. Do you thing we should believe in nothing and ‘regulate’ ourselves?”

Understanding this analogy is critical to defeating the statist mindset.

Since Democratic socialism is a growing part of statism, I ask author Deirdre McCloskey what her elevator pitch is against democratic socialism.
