"Bernie Sanders admits he is a Democratic Socialist. … Nazis were Democratic Socialists."

Well than what are you suggesting, Denny?

That CEO's should continue to make bank and stash their earnings in the Cayman Islands, the average laborer bring home $35k and not be able to ever afford a house, or retirement.

I look at the big picture. Without posters there is no message board. Without the guys on the front lines, these corporations aren't where they are.

 

National Socialist! It may not be much of point to quibble over though. The main ingredient is Socialist for both the Nazis and the Communist. The difference being
The National focus for one and the Global focus for the other.

Bernie is not really that much different than our average Democrats today, other than he is willing to call it like it is, he is a Socialist. It matters not who owns the means of production but
what you do with the fruits of the production (profits) and how that is enforced. Government becomes the approved religion of society and the enforcement of distribution of the profits of production.

 

Yeah. Gotta have financial leverage on all the herbs.

sent from a phone you've probably never heard of

 

Bernie isn't even actually a Democratic Socialist. The Scandinavian countries he loves and uses as examples are social democracies, they do not have fully socialist economies.

 

"Social democracy is defined as a policy regime involving a universal welfare state and collective bargaining schemes within the framework of a capitalist economy."

 

Socialism and democracy is not compatible, even if you try hard to explain it is. Anytime a government must govern social policies, then it cannot be a democracy. You take away the freedom and liberty of the citizens to freely decide what they do with their property.

 

It's absolutely the truth. Socialism is the redistribution of wealth equally among the people. Democracy, especially in this country, promotes freedom and liberty. How can one be free if a government controls your wealth?

 

Sanders is becoming '08 Obama in that if anyone says anything slightly critical or negative about him people lose their shit.

 

Let me ask you again. "Are you truly "free" if a government controls your wealth?" Yes or no?

 

Wrong... They not only control your wealth, by taxing middle class 50-70% of their income and taxing at a 49% of the country's GDP. They are the world leaders in strict immigration.

 

Come on Sly, stop the bull! It matter not who controls the property if the profits earned are controlled (taxed at the whim of the have not voters and their shills) by the government.

When a persons earnings are tapped at what ever rate pleases the masses, you can't get more socialist than this. You see it all the time on this board, calling for higher taxes on those that earn the money. They want and vote for the person that say he will do it to the fat cats. What the hell else does Sanders have? He wants to take 90% and the people cheer!

What the hell, this country was not founded that way, the income tax was not even envisioned that way, 1 to 7%. It didn't take long though for the have nots to idolize the leader that proposed to take more and Give it to them. Hallelujah, we have the power!

 

But the thing is with campaigns, nobody is cheering...wolf has been cried too many times..we're numb when they say they'll trickle down earnings from the ultra wealthy or bring factories back here that we'll supply the labor for or that we'll stop sending troops to every trouble spot on the planet to police democracy. They always say these things...the trick with voting is too eliminate the worst of the lot at any cost. That's what this election means to me. It's not a job that attracts talent so we're left with a really poor field to choose from..

 

I almost never want to hear a President speak of Democracy again. We don't really have it here and I have no desire to make others use it. The the jobs are simple, they come here when this is the best place to do the work and the best place to make a profit with the least tax. If that is not here, then the jobs will go where this criterion in true. Gone are the day when you can make a business man dance to the panders tune, when someone else likes his groove too.

There was a time when this didn't happen so callously, when we were a nation together, but we have been segregated, separated and classified by design for control. Now you see the result,
no longer one people, no longer together, no longer supportive of each other. Many palms out.
