Whole Foods founder and CEO John Mackey didn't endear himself to a good portion of his customer base when last week he spoke the truth about socialism and called capitalism "The greatest thing humanity's ever done." But he is right.
Speaking via video to American Enterprise Institute President Robert Doar about his new book "Conscious Leadership: Elevating Humanity Through Business," Mackey said "We can't throw out capitalism and replace it with socialism, that will be a disaster. It doesn't work."
Not all Whole Foods customers are wealthy, woke, granola-crunching political progressives who have posted "We Believe" signs in their yards and vote Democrat.
So they probably won't notice the yawning gap between Mackey, who through capitalism has developed a stimulating and often rewarding shopping experience, as well as created immense wealth and nearly 100,000 jobs, and Biden, Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Warren and others of the left who have created nothing of value and are forever busy scheming to limit choices, redistribute the wealth of others, and tear down free markets.
Rather than credit capitalism for the growing abundance we have around us, the Democratic Party and the media, and about half of America which blindly follows them, tell us capitalism is broken, exploitive, unjust, racist, an environmental toxin, a failure that is in need of repair.
Though the World Economic Forum is exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to advance its "Reset," it's been actively trying to saddle break and then ride capitalism for some time.
The "Resetters" will eventually come after those Whole Foods customers who performed perfectly their roles as useful idiots to an agenda that's hostile to free markets and liberty.
