#3. Our Latest Supreme Court Justice Pines For Socialism
“Through its own internal feuding… the SP [Socialist Party] exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. The story is a sad but also chastening one for those who, more than half a century later after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America. Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight one’s fellows than it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe. Yet if the history of local New York shows anything, it is that the American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies. In unity lies their only hope.” Justice Elena Kagan
Justice Kagen apparently is keeping hope alive that one day socialist reformers will be able to turn the United States into a picture of North Korea, or Venezuela.
