Interesting point, but isn't the fear of a Socialist takeover ever-present? Or perhaps the media/political powers are just paying lip service?
The rise of Globalism, Technology, and the cult of Greed also seem to have played a part.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoCurrently, the fear of socialism in the US looks like fear of Bernie in 2020. In 1920, fear of socialism looked like the Russian Revolution. Then capitalists could get shot. Now they might get taxed. Those two scenarios lead to two different levels of fear. I might care more about my workers to avoid getting shot. But if I'm too greedy and the only consequence is that I might get taxed, well, why not? I might even be more greedy to try to make up for the amount I'm going to lose in taxes.
