Why Silicon Valley Embraces Socialism

According to left-wing political analysis Joel Kotkin, the tech giant Oligarchs are all in for a form of socialism that keeps them and their political enablers on top.

  1. Got a front row seat on this one. They haven’t figured out that they are embracing Socialism yet because it’s being disguised as GLOBALISM. And mean while, the cash keeps rolling in for board member and executives.
    Charles Payne did a really good segment on this very topic a couple weeks back. And he was right on the money.

  2. I have met a hell of a lot of “IT people” who were total control freaks to not recognize that a taste for totalitarianism comes with the territory. Not all of them are pathological, but there are way more as a percentage than in the general population and by a wide margin.

  3. “What’s not to love from their perspective?”

    For starters, it’s unstable and temporary, but they’re apparently too stupid to realize it. “Oligarchical Socialism” either grows into full-blown 20th Century style totalitarianism – or – it collapses and becomes a third world banana republic like Venezuela.

  4. Socialism is for groups that LIKE / LOVE each other to share resources.

    How can these people smash the American population into grievance groups at each other’s throats, and then turn around and expect them to share?

    (I suspect there is a photo meme to be made out of this starring Bernie Sanders and ANTIFA, BLM etc…)
