Win some blue-state and blue-city races, and the cocky new socialist Jacobins believe that they have either already taken over the Democratic Party or will soon absorb it. And in reaction to these new swarms, an increasingly terrified and ossified old Democrat guard either limps away from the hive or invites them in to take over more...

In general, the socialist challenge is to "fundamentally transform America" into a statist, inert redistribution machine - nuttier than socialist Europe, a prescription for North Korean-style poverty, and completely unrecognizable to the Founders and most contemporary Americans.

1. The New Demography

Open borders, massive, unaudited new immigration ending the distinction between mere residence and citizenship.

2. Dismantling the "System"

Packing the court, destroying the Electoral College, ending the filibuster, bringing in new left-wing states... ensuring same-day registration/voting, no voter ID, foreign nationals residing here being eligible to vote.

5. Statism...

6. Reparations

Compensation for victims of alleged "white privilege," institutionalization of radical identity politics...

The real rub is that Trump is their flip side - not a revolutionary but a counterrevolutionary...
