Egypt Is Still Haunted by Its Ghosts of Socialism
Commentary Egypt is considered a former socialist state and a country where the tentacles of Marxism can still be found, buried deep within almost every institution, something I have observed having lived there many decades. As I watch and listen to so-called leftists and socialist activists from Europe and North America preach about the need for wealth redistribution and…

Can We ‘Contain’ the Enemies of Liberty?
Commentary In post-World War II Western intellectual circles, many were intrigued with the ideological vision of “socialism,” but few understood the ruthless ambitions of communist dictators.

Progressive, Socialist Policies Are Destructive, Have Never Brought Prosperity: Economist Robert Genetski

Climate Change: Gaslighting Americans Into Socialism, Part 1
