Elizabeth Warren’s ‘Social Contract’ an Ideological Fantasy
Ms. Warren is not original. But we are supposed to be impressed because she has been a professor, at Harvard Law School, no less.
In 1929, Joseph Stalin, by then having consolidated much of his power announced that the “kulaks (owners of food producing land) will be liquidated as a class.” And so with the police power of the NKVD, the landowners (especially in Soviet Ukraine) were liquidated. Then lacking food producers, the inevitable happened: the famine of 1933. Starvation is bad news for the victims and for the government, so Stalin was defeated (well not really). His kill the producers policy failed, so he needed an explanation: let’s blame Jews and Poles and kill them. And that is exactly what happened next.
The only hope is that Massachusetts voters will read some history and not give Ms. Warren the power to test her scheme.
