<<...>> The primary conflict of the last century or so has been the battle between the political and economic philosophy of Karl Marx and the principles of the modern enlightenment best represented by the founding of the United States. It's not capitalism vs socialism, it's Western Democracy against destruction by the tyrannical ideology of a communist revolution as prescribed by Marx.
The difference between Republicans and Democrats today is simply that Republicans think that the founders got it right. The Democrats, on the other hand, believe that Marx got it right but they can't quite bring themselves to say that they believe in communism. They're fine with being called revolutionary but not quite yet with being called what they really are, Marxist Communist Revolutionaries. They fear being associated with the humanitarian disasters of Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Kim, and Pol Pot.
They have called themselves liberals, progressives and lately even democratic socialists. But they just can't come out and admit to what they really are. In fact a great many don't understand who they really are or where they are going. These are what Stalin called "Useful Idiots" and there are a lot of them.
The Democrats have been hard at work weakening the American system of government for decades preparing to assume complete power. In 2008 Obama threw down the gauntlet to fundamentally change America into a socialist nation but even he couldn't say it. In 2016 Trump was elected to pick up that gauntlet and reverse the slide toward socialism.
2020 is shaping up to be the battle that determines the fate of the nation.
God help us all.

2020 Battle Lines: Capitalism and Growth (R) versus Socialism and Degrowth (D)
From Legal Insurrection: By William A. Jacobson Friday, February 8, 2019
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a character familiar to anyone who has spent substantial time on campuses in the past two decades.
She’s a walking, talking social justice warrior soundbite machine, someone whose knowledge is a mile wide and an inch deep. Social media, where she excels, is perfect for shallow but woke wisdom.
At one level, she is the gift Donald Trump and Republicans could not have hoped for in their wildest dreams. Her wacky Green New Deal is so preposterous in many of its details and in its totality, it is a caricature. It’s a prime example of what I call Progressive or Parody?, where it’s “very hard to distinguish progressive political and social positions from parody.”
That four of the leading Democrat presidential candidates (Harris, Warren, Booker, Gillibrand) rushed to co-sponsor or endorse the Green New Deal will be a theme Republicans will drive home from today through Election Day 2020. That these four kneecapped themselves as General Election candidates is Ocasio-Cortez’s greatest accomplishment (for Republicans) so far.
At another level, though, Ocasio-Cortez should be taken seriously precisely because she is a character familiar to anyone who has spent time on campuses in the past two decades. She represents an ignorant ahistorical adoration for socialism that has captured a significant portion of the Democratic Party. Socialists like Ocasio-Cortez are the energy in the Democratic Party, which explains why presidential candidates immediately jumped on her bandwagon.
Capitalism versus Socialism is one battle line for 2020. Whether or not the ultimate Democrat nominee endorses the Green New Deal, the Green New Deal will be made to be the Democrat platform whether Democrats like it or not. Let’s have a vote on Capitalism versus Socialism.
