“There is no such thing as “the government.” There are just people who work for the government and wield its power and who—at almost every opportunity—wield it to serve themselves first and everyone else a distant second. This is not a failing of one nation or socialist party, but inherent in human nature.”
Citation: Kevin D. Roberts, Project 2025 Foreword, page 46, paragraph 7
Context:
I can agree in general terms with this statement. He then nonsensically equates the “Soviet Empire”, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Vermont (yes, really) when discussing failed socialist policies. (Most of those suffer/suffered under fascist policies, not socialist.) The Vermont mention was an unveiled dig at Bernie Sanders, whom he mentions by name in the paragraph.
