More evidence that Rep. Scholten votes in favor of systems of power and oppression

On Friday, Rep. Scholten voted for a resolution that was introduced by Cuban-American Rep. Salazar from Florida.

Scholten voted for resolution H.Con.Res.58, also known as Denouncing the horrors of socialism. This resolution harkens back to McCarthyism, using half-truths and associating socialism with all evils in the world. Everyone really ought to read the resolution and see how ridiculous it is, not to mention that every Republican voted for it.

However, this is not the first time that Rep. Hillary Scholten voted for a resolution to condemn socialism, as she voted for the GOP proposed resolution first introduced in 2023, during the Biden Administration. At least she consistently votes for awful resolutions.

Perhaps Rep. Scholten might want to read about what the fundamental principles of socialism are by reading Bhaskar Sunkara’s important book, The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality, Understanding Socialism, by Richard D. Wolff, or The Case for Socialism, by Alan Maas.

In the end it would appear that Rep. Scholten is merely wanting to appease the more Republican voter base in West Michigan, which so often equates socialism with fascism, when in fact capitalism is a necessary component of fascism, as Professor Wolfe explains in the video below.
