Taxpayer-Funded National Defense University Hosts Lecture on ‘Democratic Socialism’

I can’t believe I have to type this story. It seems shocking and unbelievable, but yes: what you are about to read is true. And it’s probably one the most underreported but IMPORTANT stories you will hear this year.

The National Defense University (NDU) just hosted a speaker who argued America should embrace democratic socialism to fight Communist China.

Not sure what the National Defense University is? Put simply, it’s a fancy school funded by the Department of Defense. The NDU website defines the school’s mission as the following:

“NDU educates joint warfighters and other national security leaders in critical thinking and the creative application of military power to inform national strategy and globally integrated operations, under conditions of disruptive change, in order to prevail in war, peace, and competition.”

So yes, the school that is funded by American taxpayers to educate America’s top military officers and national security leaders is now teaching them to embrace democratic socialism.

At their recent academic lecture for these national leaders, the lecturer told America if we want to beat Communist China, we must stop being so “arrogant” as westerners and start supporting democratic socialism.

Let’s get one thing straight from the start: democratic socialism is a scam, and history has made that clear. Pretty much every evil eventual socialist dictator starts out by calling themself a democratic socialist, or progressive, or heck, even Fidel Castro called himself a democratic humanitarian. Are you catching on to the inaccurate, fluffy, feel-good language yet?

The growing wokeness and weakness of America’s military, especially under President Joe Biden’s administration, is no surprise at this point. But to now even host a pro-socialism lecturer to educate our nation’s top leaders in the military and national defense?

This crosses a line that I wasn’t expecting at all, or at least so quickly. What a rapid decline. The speaker’s name was Thomas Piketty, he’s a french professor and academic who wrote a book titled, “Time for Socialism,” and his lecture for our military leaders is called, “Responding to China: The Case for Global Justice and Democratic Socialism.”

Sebastian Gorka, who is a former associate dean at NDU and former strategist to President Trump, told JustTheNews.com that he was “disgusted and horrified that our nation’s highest institution of military education is being used as a platform to promote anti-capitalist, pro-socialist propaganda” using American tax dollars.

To even think of our war leaders having the dangerous ideas of socialism normalized in their lessons at a taxpayer-funded university intended to make them the best possible national and global strategists possible is so concerning I can barely find words right now.

I hope you all understand the seriousness of this situation.
