Our nation’s recent election has got me thinking—in a hopeful way—about whether we might be re-learning the lessons surrounding our first Thanksgiving.
Our holiday goes back to the 1620s and the Plymouth plantation, where the first Thanksgiving came after the settlement abandoned socialism in favor of capitalism.
The original charter had a form of communal ownership, requiring equality of income. No surprise: It led to starvation. After two years, the colonists learned from their mistake, and instituted private ownership. Starvation ended, the colonists began trade with the Natives and the new abundance was celebrated with a day of Thanksgiving.
In our election, Americans rejected Kamala Harris and her woke agenda.
We’ve also made some good steps toward rejecting the broader Marxist-inspired woke agenda: CRT, DEI, ESG, CGT—critical gender theory—and I could go on.
Perhaps we, too, are learning from our mistakes.
This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for some signs of hope for the rebirth of the American ideal, this great experiment grounded in freedom.
