Leftist celebrities love to use their influence to push their politics on the world.
U2 frontman Bono is one of the worst culprits.
Now Bono just met with the Pope to discuss a ridiculous topic.
Popularity Pulpit
The left has big influence in the culture.
They use their talents in film and music to push a clear agenda.
Many of them openly admit it.
The book “Primetime Propaganda” got Hollywood execs to go on the record and admit they push liberal politics and shun conservatives.
It’s obvious on the screen.
But to hear the brazen confessions is still shocking.
Music is just as bad.
Popular music often pushes terrible values on the young.
For decades, songs contained the glorification of violence, irresponsible sex, and big government politics.
Perhaps some of the worst offenders are The Beatles.
Paul McCartney recently slammed Donald Trump in a new song on environmentalist grounds.
Eco-warriors play a key role in the left’s plan to control the economy.
The left believe if they scare people enough, the government will impose harsh regulations on businesses that transfer a mountain of power to the state.
Bono Meets Pope Francis
Another celebrity crusader is U2 frontman Bono.
He’s developed a reputation for his charitable deeds.
But now he’s meeting with Pope Francis for a troubling reason.
Bono told reporters one of the topics is tackling “that wild beast of capitalism.”
That’s an insane statement.
Capitalism simply means free markets, enforcement of contracts, and rule of law.
Anyone who values freedom should cherish those ideals.
Capitalism has also lifted billions of people out of poverty.
Since 1980, world poverty has been cut in half by the success of free markets.
Leftists believe that capitalism only means exploitation.
They believe state control is the only way to ensure prosperity for all.
However, this has been refuted countless times by empirical evidence around the globe.
But leftist ideas continue to receive legitimacy for some reason.
Bono meeting with the Pope isn’t too surprising.
Pope Francis has a reputation for being a leftist.
The Pope was recently brought into the news after a new sex scandal rocked the Catholic Church.
But leftists surprisingly came to the church’s defense because Pope Francis believes in climate change and lax border restrictions.
Bono presumably flew his private jet — paid for with the multi-millions he made selling albums — to talk about the evils of capitalism.
The Big Agenda
The left has a plan.
What they really want is a one-world government.
One of the reasons for this capitalism.
Free markets tend to go where the money is.
That creates a big problem for leftists who seek control.
When socialist governments rise, many people flee the country and take their money with them if they can.
Leftists often foolishly blame these capitalists when their socialist paradise fails.
This was one of the excuses leftist hero Noam Chomsky used when Venezuela felt apart.
The left hates free markets, profit, and borders.
They openly say it.
It’s part of their campaign ads and party platforms.
If they get their way, the progress of capitalism could be reversed.
