Socialism, despite its history of failure, has become mainstream this year and is being adopted by Democratic politicians as their go-to economic policy, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley warned Monday.
“2020 was the year socialism went mainstream,” Haley wrote on Twitter. “The dangerous ideology, which has failed everywhere it has been tried & ruined countless lives, is on its way to becoming the default economic policy of the Democratic Party.”
“This terrifying trend threatens the future of every American,” she added.
Haley made similar comments about socialism last week while voicing support for Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who is set to face off Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock in Georgia’s runoff elections.
“This is the Democratic Party that believes you cancel anyone that doesn’t agree with you,” she said. “They believe that you defund the police and stop taking care of those that serve us. They believe that socialism is the new way of life. And they think that you should put your lives and your healthcare in the hands of government.”
A two-term governor of South Carolina and outspoken defender of President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy and foreign policy, Haley was featured on the opening night of the 2020 Republican National Convention, where she cast former Vice President Joe Biden as being beholden to the radical progressives and their socialist agenda.
“Their vision for America is socialism. And we know that socialism has failed everywhere,” Haley said at that time. “They want to tell Americans how to live, and what to think. They want a government takeover of healthcare. They want to ban fracking and kill millions of jobs. They want massive tax hikes on working families.”
Haley’s remarks come as an emboldened progressive wing continues to tilt the Democratic Party more to the left. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, despite having campaigned as a moderate, eventually adopted an economic platform that features items absorbed from progressive Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), promising a $15-per-hour federal minimum wage, as well as a $4 trillion federal investment into healthcare, education, infrastructure, and clean energy.
Earlier this month, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a young progressive firebrand, said in an interview with The Intercept that it’s time for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to step down from their leading positions to make room for a new leadership. She also talked about replacing moderate Rep. Richie Neal (D-Mass.) as head of the Ways and Means Committee.
“We are currently negotiating to get and work towards real material concessions for the left that can move things into place, to help build power for the next two years,” the Congresswoman said.
The Democratic party is out to totally destroy America. How horrible it is when Muslims can speak out but Christians are persecuted for their faith. Biden, Harris, Schumer and Pelosi are like the anti Christ
I couldn’t agree more with everone who believes that “we need to do something “
to defend our wonderful country against socialism. My question is, what can we do, and how do we do it?
This is 2021 and I’m so proud that our president gave the crooked Ga Sec of State hell. The networks have been obsessed with this
for the past 24 hours and I love it !!! Our national disgrace is that our president is the only fighter. All of the rest of the Repugnant Party
says their old “can’t we just get along” bs and vote for Nancy to run the country again. Again I say the Chi-coms defeated us without
firing a shot. They just bought out all US power brokers. We as a nation are all ready to sell out for the right price. That crime makes
our president as innocent as the driven snow.
We AMAC bloggers seem be in a very similar mindset. I have visited other news blog sites and the most ridiculous one
I have visited is NewsMax which is touted as a conservative site. The Newsmax blog is loaded with liberals who want to
argue and will use very vulgar language. Many of them will totally insult a conservative comment. I don’t know if any
of you have had a similar experience. It is totally unpoliced and maybe that’s what we want but there needs to be some
degree of basic respect.
Speaking as a progressive, I would be fine with Nikki Haley being the 2024 nominee. She’s a down-the-middle centrist. Her support for Trump has been purely opportunistic. She’s on par with Romney politically.
I didn’t serve one year on the front line defending freedom from the spread of communism, just to turn around and embrace it later in life. Anyone who voted democrat will find out soon enough what they signed up for. They are guilty twice. Once for themselves and once for taking me down too. And what is Pelosi doing? She should be serving 2 life terms in prison.
Patriotic Americans must absolutely face the fact that No. 1) The dirty democrats cheated and stole their election using massive fraud. No.2) if patriotic Americans force a fair, honest and truthful recount of votes, the democrats ‘will’ certainly lose. We’ve already seen the rioting, raping and looting done by these Leftist animals in cities up north…So..is everyone prepared for Socialism?? Open warfare?? Military intervention?? Not a pretty picture of America’s future. All thanks to the Dirty Socialistic Democrat party.
No, turn the tables, remind them that the first amendment entitles us to freedom of speech, just because your opinion doesn’t agree with theirs is no reason to shut you out. Everyone has an opinion, that’s what intelligent discussions are all about. Of course remember that your opinion is okay as long as it agrees with theirs, the democrats interpretation of freedom of speech. Remember back in the day when in high school we actually had debate clubs? I was on them and we all respected each others position and in the end were still friends. That’s a rare thing these days.
I believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and don’t believe in political correctness. As for socialism, if you think it’s so great then move to a socialist country and leave the United States of America alone. Democrats in this country only want power, they don’t have any concern for the real American citizens in this country. We as freedom loving people must fight for our republic and reject, at all costs the socialist agenda the democrats want to impose upon this great nation.
It used to be taught in school that what was needed to overthrow a country was support of the military, with our separation of powers that is not a problem here, the Military will never take a part. The second thing was control of the newspapers and radio, that has already happened, If you do not watch the few conservative news stations then you already believe Trump was a bad leader. He did a great job and is deserving of at least a big thank you. What he is actually getting is something much worse. If people only listen to the mainstream media they are brainwashed. I am very glad that most of my life is already behind me so my disappointment will be only for a short time. We fought wars to avoid communism/ socialism. Instead our educational system is indoctrinating our children. I would be wiling to bet most kids today would be unable to tell you who Nathaniel Green was.
Our leaders are betraying us.
It is time for the American voter to rid our country of the Democratic Party, at least the radical left bunch, and I really think we would be better off without the majority of them. Also the wolves in sheep skins, the RINOs. Only by ridding ourselves of the radical fringe on the left can we get back to a government that is responsive to the American voter.
Speaking up for freedom and the Constitution is useless. THE SWAMP prevailed over President Trump because we didn’t speak up soon enough, or act soon enough.
the Left has a death grip on the Federal Government, including the FBI and the Justice Department. They will boil us frogs by simply warming the pot every day.
GOD BLESS the America we used to know.
Is Nikki Haley honest (she is, after all, a politician), or is she pandering for votes. It’s hard to trust anyone anymore. She says all the right things, but so do a few others, then they cave in to the money people.
Well said!
Nikki Haley is just as big a threat as AOC. Haley’s past actions, as governor, have angered and alienated a very large portion of the southern population. We do not agree with her decision making policies or abilities for that matter. No future for Haley in the republican south.
To say that Socialism has failed everywhere it has tried is more of an opinion. You must cite examples and the destruction it has caused using facts. Facts are hard things to defeat.
Socialism is a scourge & many Americans have shed their blood n treasure to fight it…Seems we’ll need to do it again. We need to boycott firms which support groups such as Antifa, BLM, Democrats, Justice America, etc.Stamp it out at its core-SCHOOLS & media…stop supporting these & explore alternatives.
Conservatives have cause to doubt that the Republican Party is their HOME! The Republican Study Committee is 150 out of 199 Republican Members of the House. Where are the other 49?!! From the traitors Paul Ryan and Romney, etc., many Republicans are Conservatives “IN NAME ONLY” (CINO’s)!!! We will NEVER succeed against the DemocRat/Communists tied down with the Establishment “Republicans”!!! The 2020 Election PROVED some 65 to 80% of Americans are READY!!! Minorities are READY but CANNOT accept being Republicans!!! Merge the Trump Movement & FreedomWorks.org – The American Revolution 2.0!!! Become Counter-Revolutionaries!!! Stand-up for Our Republic!!!! President Trump’s Movement and FreedomWorks.org have consolidated the base!!!! Form a new Political Party – The Freedom Party!!!!! Soar under OUR Banner – The American Eagle!!!!!
Wake-Up!! There are no Republican and DemocRat Parties! There is only the “Unity Party” “RINO’s & Socialists”!! They run a giant SCAM with the Media to keep us “sheep” entertained and in line!! The FreedomWorks.org group and the Trump Group thought they were changing the Republican Party!!! FORGET IT!!! Ryan, McConnell, Romney, etc. are the tip of the “fake loyal opposition iceberg” helping the DemocRats lead all Americans into a SOCIALIST HELL-HOLE!!!! Form a new Political Party – The Freedom Party!!! President Trump’s Movement combined with FreedomWorks.org plus Minorities who refuse to be Republicans have consolidated the base!!!! The American Revolution 2.0!!!!!
What many of the left do not understand that Democracy erodes from the inside. Look at all the great democracies in history, erosion of ethics, morals. and entitlement caused the decline. One of the main causes of erosion of the Roman Empire was the embracing of homosexuality, particularly in government. A recent article in INDUSTRY WEEK mentions “Morals Is More than ‘Just Common Sense’”
What are these idiot millennials who espouse socialism going to do when the are no new I phones introduced because there is no capitalist competition or profit to invest the R&D needed to make a better product than the next guy.
All of this proves we need real republicans in office .They call there self republicans but they can be bought out and scared out. Republicans keep asking for more money and are getting rich. We must have term limits or this crime in Washington will never stop. Till republicans start doing what they are payed to do we need to stop giving them anymore extra money.GOD is still in control.

I agree with BW. I am only one of the 74M that voted for President Trump. I heard this AM on NewsMax that Nevada had several thousand votes that were double counted and the inspection of the voting booths ordered by the judge was conducted quite inappropriately-that is the inspectors were only allowed to look at the machines from across the room. If this happened here, how many other states did this involve. Georgia has already been video taped with fraud on election counting and what about PA changing their laws, violating their own established laws to count votes late-It is a big scam. Nothing factual really reported by the fake news of course. And there is Joe Biden, not knowing where he, assigning is all the socialists he can to a political office. Once again, he has sold out America, just ask his son. Nor is he physically or mentally fit to be our President-He is a crook! With America in a financial dilemma due to China, how is it it that a Dem Congress is allowing so much of our money to go to foreign countries-like advancing gender studies are you kidding, or giving money to Egypt so they can buy military equipment from who-our enemy-Russoa. Wouldn’t this money help out our own citizens. It is time to get rid of these corrupt Congress and other political figures that do not have the American people’s interest at heart. I guess the only people who get kickbacks from other countries are our corrupt officials, just ask Hunter Biden and his corrupt father. This election is a SCAM and we will not forget the corrupt Congress officials who knew this and allowed it to happen!
God tried to tell us on 9/11 to wake up and put him first or America would fall and the church and not all but a lot of Christians have laughed in his face . Well you are going to get what you want a country run by evil not love . I have been trying and will keep trying to tell and pray that America comes back to GOD.
I still don’t understand this push for socialism. Hmm feel stuff. I think people like Ocasio Cortez are just self-serving politicians.
Is she a millionaire, yet? Omare is.
They believe all the fairy tales about how great socialism is. The liberals will point out that these methods work so well in the Scandanavian (sp?) countries, etc. so everyone will benefit. What they want everyone to forget is that socialism is not in our constitution because it can so easily lead to dictatorship and communism. The schools don’t teach our children about the wars we fought against tyranny and communism because they can just tell the kids how racist and intolerant we all are. So our kids have no idea what we are talking about when we say socialism and communism is bad. The adults only see what the liberals are pointing to and telling them that their heavy burdens will be eased. Unfortunately, they neglect to tell them how expensive it really is. The cost is more d@mning than the dems habit of spending! And we all know how bad that is!
Do you tell them how their taxes will go sky high to support all those who do not work, and how it will support all those liberal elite? Do they know they will actually have less than they do now?
Us Conservatives must unite and squelch this growing threat to America.
Only one vote, just along for the ride now. Still I have one vote, too old to fight this BS, except to vote no to everything. Still kinda think we can use the RICO Act against Congress. We get rid of the creeps, the creeps that make them rich and finally realize there isn’t 5 families in the Mafia, Just 435 deferent familes ruining our lives. Wouldn’t care but they didn’t cut me in on the money. $2000? Chicken feed to them.
Haley is absolutely correct.
Oh yea, we are the U.S.S.A.
did you ever ask them why they are so enamored with socialism – just how do they think it will benefit this country???????
to those of you you think socialism is a good thing please go somewhere else and start it. that’s not what America is about!
Better think again if you believe Democratic Socialists are looking out for you. Among the first to receive the vaccine are the politicians and at risk prisoners in California.
You are so right about the current population and their lazy attitude and actual lack of knowledge about our government, and how it works. The most important issue, I am sad to say, is that the general public is like a bunch of idiots following the Pied Piper right over the cliff, like lambs to the slaughter. We all are all guilty, to a certain extent, of not standing up for what we know to be right, but accepting whatever is offered to us, without question, because we have become too comfortable and don’t want to make the effort to change things that we know are wrong. It is too much trouble. Then we complain about why bad things happen. Americans of today need to get off our asses and act more like the American heroes of the last generation, who suffered sacrifices, did whatever necessary to make sure we won the war, and insured freedom for the world. At least for the time being, because evil forces are forever there, chipping away at your freedom. and we have to be ever vigilant to prevent evil from getting a firm hold. And that is evident today more than ever with the fraudulent election we just experienced, when the Left will do whatever it takes to win, and turn America into another Socialist/Communist country like Russia and China. Thousands of Americans have signed affidavits to seeing unlawful counting of votes in this election, including Democrats and Republicans, and still the Left and the Left media deny any fraud happened. The cases filed by Trump supporters about election fraud or irregularities have mostly been thrown out over technicalities, not merits of the case, claiming they were filed too early, or too late, or didn’t meet criteria to be heard. We all have to stand up for our rights, and our right to free and honest elections now, and not let this be pushed off until some future election. I was born during the Great Depression, lived through WWII, and many wars since, am a 2-time USAF veteran, including the Korean War. I have lived through several President’s administrations, watched what works, what failed, what is good, and bad, and am here to tell you that our capitalistic system. and current form of government is the best in the world. Millions of aliens try to come here every year for that reason. And those who want to change it Socialism should maybe visit a few Socialist countries, and talk to those who moved here from Socialist countries to find out why they came here, before deciding to try to change America. May God Please Bless America in these trying times.
I have earned the right to have a say in how I am treated, taken care of, etc. I do NOT want or need someone who does not know me making decisions for me in order to become controlling and richer!! Since I worked for what I have, I expect others to have worked for what they get.
It’s a sad commentary on American society that the Democrat Party has survived with its vapid policies and disingenuous name calling and rhetoric. It’s a reflection of the their dependence upon a dumbed down public education system, hollow cultural values and a sold out media as enablers as well as a compliant milquetoast GOP that they can get by (barely). Now they have resorted to broad daylight election fraud. What’s next? Perhaps gulags or “re-education camps” for those who still believe in personal freedoms and a Constitutional Republic?
Good Day Everyone..
Agree with the comments posted, but I keep coming back to what can we do short of civil disobedience or dissolving the union ??
There are potentailly ways to deal with this, but where do we start??
I don’t think Nikki Haley has any room to preach to patriots. She also can’t talk about how socialism is advancing because she helped it move along when she was governor of South Carolina. She folded to the demands of the few socialists and gave them everything they asked for. She’s not on my hit parade and I would only vote for her to vote against a worse candidate.
I am in contact with 55 – 60 people of all ages, all the time. All voted for Trump save one. China Joe is the ‘winner’ through Chicago style ‘ballot box stuffing’ which took place there in the 40’s – 50’s -60’s. And yes, it was the ( D ) communist party / treasoncrats doing it. A fine tradition carried on ?
Very well written. I am proud to say that you was my Governor and I would love to see you and Senator Scott make a run for the presidency.
Both of you have worked so hard to improve our state and with the determination that you both have I believe that this country could use the great leadership both of you have.
Vigilantees armed to the teeth. There will be a civil war in due course w/ biden and his clown show in the WH. Trump has even let America down, at this point.
I have the same problem with family & friends in California being judgemental. Family in other states don’t want to talk about the situation that is coming to America. The Republican Party needs to get off their asses and fight for American citizens! That’s why we voted them in office.
The entire world has been moving toward Socialism for several years now, including one world government. That is, I believe, one of the reasons that Donald Trump has been unpopular around the world.
Socialism only works well for those in charge!
I have a really good friend who left a communist country decades ago. They have told me many times that the environment in America is starting to resemble the socialist environment they left. My friend also said it was a good idea to figure out what country you would go to if the need should arise. My friend has been right on so many things in society. I fear my friend is right once again on socialism coming to America unless we can wake up as a society and fix it very quickly.
They are uninformed sheep easily manipulated by the likes of AOC, backed by our forth estate which is a most powerful force.
I would not call AOC a firebrand; more of a puppet and useful idiot. When describing past attempts at socialism it would be helpful to list some statistics such as citizen deaths, degrees of economic failures, and what form of government those countries now have.
One of the things written into the constitution was the fact that you have to protect indvidual freedom with laws and division of power because human nature remains the same, greed, laziness, quest for power, cowardliness, cruelty and all the other things that reside in the human condition remain. Socialism puts everyone in the same mind, thoughts and vision of what the great society should be, and seeks to legislate out individualism. Anyone or anything that doesn’t share that same goal has to be destroyed. The founders realized that government is a necessary evil, but their vision was a limited government that was only given power by the consent of those governed. Socialism seeks to rule with neither consent or concern for the individual, only the State matters and controls everything and the government has all the power and control.
UN Agenda 2030
They are simply cowards unwilling to acknowledge the truth of what you’re saying to them. They are the useful idiots that think if they ignore the problem, it will just magically go away.
