Democrat extremist James Talarico insists he wants to go to Congress to represent Texas.

Congress is, after all, through its actions, one of the biggest influences of American capitalism, on which the nation was founded.

And he wants to destroy it.

“I’m … thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country,” he said during a Zoom meeting. “And I think only understanding the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we going to be able to begin the process of dismantling them.”

Talarico, of course, represents the surging extreme portion of the Democrat party that adheres to the ideologies of the Democrat Socialists of America, whose leaders have confirmed their goal is communism.

And Leon Trotsky was a Russian revolutionary, Marxist theorist and founder of the Red Army. He espoused permanent revolution.

Actually, it is constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, whose advice at times has guided the actions of Congress, who confirmed Talarico appears to be bringing “a touch of Trotsky to Texas.”

“Talarico is shown declaring capitalism an ‘oppressive system’ linked with white supremacy and that it must be ‘dismantled’ to achieve a better world,” he explained. “It is reminiscent of Leon Trotsky, who denounced the ‘fundamental evil of the capitalist system’ and called on citizens to free themselves from its oppression. The Democratic Socialists of America and radical sites have long called ‘to dismantle the capitalist state.'”

Talarico’s agenda appeared, the report explains, during a 2020 climate conference by a Sierra Club chapter located in Austin, Texas.

His full agenda, he said, includes, ““I’m so thankful that you asked this question and also thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country … And I think only ending the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we gonna be able to begin the process of dismantling them.”

He alleged at the time that the state’s oil and gas industry “is not gonna last.”

Turley’s analysis continued, “Ironically, given his earlier promise of running a meatless, Vegan campaign, opposing both beef and energy markets in Texas could well achieve the dismantling of the economy by default in Texas.”

He pointed out, “Talarico’s views closely parallel socialist and communist talking points online. Democratic Socialists of America has challenged people to ‘Imagine the end of capitalism.’ Those words in the Democratic Socialists of America manifesto offer Americans a world without landlords, debt, mandatory work hours, and ‘food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation… are common goods and utilities.'”

Turley noted that other leftists “have sought to pander to this radical mob,” citing California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s claims that “capitalism as we know it doesn’t work either.”

He pointed out America’s Founders embraced the free market as the perfect economic theory to match their freedom and rights-based political theory.

He said, “Capitalism offered citizens the ability to transcend class and social barriers, to advance as far as their skills and labor would take them.”

The combination of the Founders’ political theories and their economic agenda “created the most prosperous and stable democratic system in the world.”

He said such leftism is being pushed not by workers, but “by young, college-educated voters fresh out of the ideological echo chamber of higher education. They are armchair revolutionaries like Talarico, repeating socialist slogans with the same robotic rote delivery of a Young Pioneer camp.”
