RE: On Socialism

some of our modern day Bolsheviks

Am I wrong to say that #berniesanders has become just as extreme as them? If he thought that would increase his standing among the voters, surely he should have first run a strict investigation as to how many Americans are in favour of marxism(communism).

One last point if I may. Diggerent systems that make up what socialism is today, are :

  • Corporate marxism
  • Communism
  • plus that which some call Libertarianism (not speaking of the real libertarians, who tend to be people who believe in minimum govt, just those who who use the word to serve their marxist dreams without, they think, setting off alarm sirens in the minds of normal Americans.
Sort:  

Yeah Bernie has drifted leftward even since 2016. This makes it even more likely that any administration headed by him would cave even faster to the BLM/Anti-Capitalist/ANTIFA types.

Corporate Marxism

This is huge actually. A Capitalist would have voted to NOT bail out the banking system in 2008 and would not approve of the debt monetization happening right now.

If the bailouts had not happened then economic inequality would be far better today than it is.

The very idea of Too-Big-To-Fail is antithetical to Capitalism.
