The Horton Perspective | The Quiet Rise of Socialism in America
In this edition of The Horton Perspective, Eric Horton examines the growing popularity of socialism in America through the lens of the recent New York Democratic primary. He discusses why the rise of socialist ideas should concern those who value individual liberty, free markets, and limited government. Drawing from history, Horton explains how socialism has often served as a stepping stone toward communism and explores the lessons learned from nations that embraced government-controlled economies. He also shares a biblical perspective on personal responsibility, voluntary generosity, and the importance of strong families, churches, and communities. The commentary concludes with a reminder that America’s hope lies not in bigger government, but in faith, freedom, and citizens willing to take responsibility for themselves and their neighbors.
