Dear Fellow
American,
A few years
ago, New York magazine posed the question: âWhen Did Everyone
Become a Socialist?â
This is, of course,
an exaggeration. But it makes clear that the far-Left in America aims to bring
about a âGreat Resetâ of our economy and our way of life.
In a recent issue of
Imprimis—Hillsdale Collegeâs digest of liberty—author Michael
Rectenwald described the economic goal of the Great Reset as ââcapitalism with
Chinese characteristicsâ—a two-tiered economy, with profitable monopolies
and the state on top and socialism for the majority below.â
Today, as a
supporter of liberty, you can help Hillsdale College understand the extent of
support for—and opposition to—socialism.
Your input will help
us develop the most effective strategy to fight for the future of liberty in our
country.
Will you
please share your views on the political, social, and cultural forces promoting
socialism in our country by completing your National Survey on Socialism using the

Sadly, socialism is
becoming increasingly popular, especially among the young. You may be aware of a
SHOCKING survey showing that...
. . . during
the COVID-19 pandemic, support for socialism among those 16 to 23 years old jumped
to 49 percent, and socialism also increased in popularity among all
ages.
Why is
this?
Draconian government
lockdown measures destroyed businesses and eliminated competitors of corporate
monopolists. These policies were a dream come true for corporate
socialists.
At the same time,
too many young Americans have not been taught what socialism really means. Or the
dismal history of its failures wherever it has been tried.
This is a result of
the far-Leftâs âlong march through the institutionsâ—including colleges and
universities, K-12 schools, and the media.
Marxist-inspired
critical race theory is a prime example. Once confined to the classrooms of
far-Left professors, critical race theory has infiltrated every level of
government, as well as school boards and even the military.
But it is in our
schools where the effects of critical race theory—which teaches young
Americans to categorize their fellow citizens according to race—are most
dangerous.
You may recall that
many young Americans with college degrees who championed socialist policies
participated in the riots and violence we witnessed in the summer of
2020.
In the face of
well-financed and widespread efforts to destroy free markets and individual
liberty, Hillsdaleâs work to reach and teach
millions has never been more urgently needed.
Thatâs why I
need your thoughts quickly.
By responding to
the National Survey on Socialism in the next five
days, your honest opinions will help us understand the
recent rise of socialism and develop our strategy to reach and
teach increasing millions of Americans on behalf of
liberty.
We hope to hear from
friends representing every part of the country.
Education is the
surest way to turn back this dangerous trend. And your partnership with Hillsdale
College is critical.
As Winston Churchill
said, âSocialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the
gospel of envy.â
If you agree, please
represent your state and take the National Survey on
Socialism today.

Despite the recent
successes of the far-Left, we must remember—it is NEVER too late to
defend liberty through education.
