The Disadvantages of Resistance to Socialism

Get in McCarthy's argument presupposes incidentally an uncritical acceptance of the distinction between political and economic rights. In other words, propose a socialist policy on rights that involves both the abrogation of one set of mainstream liberal democratic rights and the full protection of others. A transition to socialism in the United States will, without question, face extreme opposition from capitalists as well as many who would benefit from socialism. This last consideration reflects a problem, the certainty of violent resistance to socialism; but so far I have only mentioned it in passing.
