    There is only one way to find out. Elect Bernie and see what happens. He has my vote.

    Those are capitalist definitions. Communism is the belief: "There should not be rich people."

    Socialism: "The management class shold be a meritocracy, paid not much more (maybe 20%) than the working class."

    Working class: "those who sweat, are out of breath much of the day, and push their bodies to the limit, for a living, dying younger"

    Capitalism is the belief: "Most leaders should be born into the management class, else laziness will dominate. A pure meritocracy is not sustainable without a special class to crack the whip."

    You couldn't define communism without having to look it up on Wikipedia. Look up democratic socialist. Think about the country of Switzerland is run and then you might have an idea. As for now you're completely clueless on the subject...

    Unfettered capitalism is what we have in this country. That's fascism. Fascism is rising in America.

    Do some more research. Fascism was defined by its creator Benito Mussolini. It's when corporations take over your country. That's what we have now bro... Unfettered capitalism is fascism.

    Unfettered capitalism. Hahahahaha.

    What we have is social democracy.

    If you don't like it, then you shouldn't vote for a guy who wants to give us more of it.

    The fact that you can find facism and capitalism similar is all I need to hear. Socialism is used in communism and that's a fact.

    Btw... So you feel that someone that goes to school for 10 more years, gets a doctorate and operates on you should be paid no more than 20% over the man without education and picks up trash on the street?

    We have a bastard version of social democracy. Hillary is the establishment status quo candidate, Bernie has some radical ideas for institutional change.

    Fascism is like the anti socialism, capitalism is also the anti socialism. While the republican version of capitalism feels like fascism, they are as similar as socialism and communism..... in the same sphere of ideology.
