.jonathanchait writes on Marco Rubio's master class in political philosophy
Marco Rubio is an expert on socialism. The foundation of Rubio’s political career is his family story about parents who fled communism in Cuba. Rubio has frequently applied his insights about the evils of socialism to American politics. But it is his ideological analysis of the Marxist and socialist underpinnings of President Biden’s domestic policy that have truly reached brain-genius levels of philosophical sophistication.
So, Rubio has instructed us that the $3.5 trillion plan was not socialism, it was Marxism. The $1.5 trillion plan is socialism. However, it is just as bad. Second, more confusingly, $1.5 trillion is just as bad as $3.5 trillion. This statement would confuse anybody familiar with the transitive property. To state that $1.5 trillion is just as bad as $3.5 trillion is tantamount to saying $3.5 trillion is no worse than $1.5 trillion. And if we can double the size of Biden’s plan without any increase in the badness, then perhaps Biden could go even higher.
