The Democrat Party is experiencing an identity crisis, with a significant shift in values. The nomination of communists and socialists in various states has raised concerns about the party’s direction. Ed Morrissey, a prominent commentator and writer, recently discussed this shift on a podcast with Tony Katz.

Implications of the Shift

According to Morrissey, the Democrat Party is not exerting discipline over its primary systems, allowing outside groups like the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) to influence the party’s nominees. This lack of discipline has led to the nomination of radical candidates who openly advocate for communism and socialism.

Morrissey noted that the DSA is a revolutionary movement seeking to transform the Democrat Party into a communist organization. He pointed out that nominees like Darializa Avila Chevalier have publicly stated their support for revolution and the destruction of the American constitutional republic.

Education and Communist Ideology

The conversation also touched on the topic of education and how it has become a breeding ground for communist ideology. Morrissey argued that the Democrat Party’s failure to exert control over its primaries has allowed the DSA to infiltrate academia and indoctrinate students with radical ideas.

Morrissey suggested that defunding academia is a crucial step in stopping the spread of communist ideology and creating a more accountable education system. He believes that this will force institutions to rely on their own value rather than government funding, making them more accountable for tuition costs.

Tony Katz suggested that privatizing schools and ending the government monopoly on education is also essential in addressing the issue. He emphasized that parents should have the ability to choose between different educational options, including private schools that deliver a more traditional curriculum.
