>The more power socialists get, the more ruinous American foreign policy will be.>Avila Chevalier’s views on the matter are extreme. Her mantra is to “invest in our babies here and not in bombs abroad.” As she sees it, America can do no right. It’s an imperialist enterprise that subjugates the oppressed peoples of the world. What’s the root of all global problems? The United States. Her blame America first mindset drove her in February 2022 to hold the United States, not Russia, responsible for the war in Ukraine. Yes, Vladimir Putin was coerced by Washington into mounting a massive invasion of his sovereign neighbor. This is part and parcel of Avila Chevalier’s worldview. Rather than a benevolent hegemon that has expended so much in defense of freedom, she views America as a force for evil. >The United States is rivaled only by Israel in this department. Avila Chevalier regards Israel, a parliamentary democracy with full political rights for all citizens, whether Jewish, Arab, or otherwise, with a striking degree of contempt. To call her anti-Zionist is to understate her antipathy. >As Avila Chevalier and more DSA politicians are elected to Congress, they will steer American foreign policy in a dangerous direction. The consequences are foreseeable. They’ll rail against American “militarism.” They’ll advocate cutting, if not abolishing, the U.S. armed forces. They’ll favor withdrawing from NATO and abrogating defense treaties with Japan, South Korea, and other allies out of the conviction that America is the main threat to global security. They’ll be friendly to American adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, and North Korea. They’ll align themselves with anti-American ideologies like jihadism and communism.>This is no way to run a country. For America to prosper, it must reject the socialism of Avila Chevalier and her fellow travelers in favor of capitalism. For America to be secure, it must engage with the world in ways anathema to socialists.
