UNEXPECTEDLY: Washington Post Writer Advocates for Outright Socialism.

A little late, isn’t she? In early 2009, a publication then-owned by the Washington Post assured me that we were already all socialists.

In the February 16 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands February 9), “We Are All Socialists Now,” Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham and Evan Thomas observe that the America of 2009 has become a more socialist country, and the shift began not under a Democrat but a Republican. Plus: how the United States is turning European; the draw of gangs in L.A.; the blackberry president; why Americans don’t hate the rich; and an interview with the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
