I Went to a Socialism Conference. Here Are 6 Shocking Things I Learned.
*Jarrett Stepman* *Politics, * What’s clear from my observations at Socialism 2019 is that traditional Marxists have successfully melded their ideology with the identity politics and culture war issues that animate modern liberalism—despite still being quite far from the beliefs of the average citizen. While you were enjoying your Fourth of July weekend, I was attending a national conference on socialism. Why? Because socialism is having its moment on the left.

Last Saturday I pointed out that my earlier predictions about Illinois and Chicago's pension crisis were proving to be precisely as I'd forecast. The city is seeking a state bailout of its untenable position.

John Ruberry sums up the pensions plight of Chicago and Illinois in a single sentence: *That’s like having Puerto Rico transferring its financial problems to Venezuela.* Kinda puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
