Assignment 8 B Brakefield

In the article "It's not about socialism, it's about rescuing capitalism" in The Washington Post, this article is talking about now that Obama is President we are all being claimed as all socialist now. This article is written by Harold Meyerson and he is saying that really there is more absence of advocates of socialism now then there was in 1930 during the capitalist crisis. Meyerson is standing his ground on being a true democratic socialists and he states that Capitalism bred its own overhaul.
I think that this article was written to prove a point in Meyerson point of view on what he thinks of socialism and capitalism. He is arguing that there is to much silence from the people now when its really time to speak up. This article was written for the public but pointed more to people who are not speaking up as being socialist and wanting capitalism.
