Bernie Sanders placed second in the Iowa caucus, edged out by .6% and a half dozen suspicious coin flips by the Hillary camp. He then crushed Hillary in New Hampshire. Though I believe electing either would be a mistake, Bernie Sanders is of the greatest concern to me.
Bernie Sanders is a Communist who admits to being a Democratic Socialist, a term that has little if any meaning to most people. Socialism as a pure definition means the control of all production by a central government. It has been a massively destructive failure everywhere it has been tried. Democratic Socialists point to Scandinavia as an example of a “successful†experiment. Yet even countries like Sweden and Denmark are pulling away from the principles that define Democratic Socialism. In those countries, capitalism is used as a safety net for the populace. But with the influx of refugees-read Muslim invaders-currently overwhelming the “everything is free†mentality of these nations, the social safety net is unraveling, national GDP is plummeting and debt is mounting. Even with a 70% tax rate, Sweden is falling behind on social payments required to keep the economic model alive.
The original ideas for socialism were put to paper by Karl Marx, who wrote a few pages of the moral blueprint for a moral society. The major architect of Socialism was Vladimir Lenin who attempted to work out the practical challenges of an economic system without the incentive of profit or any constraints not implemented by the government.
Just 4 years after the 1917 revolution, production in Russia had fallen to 14% of its pre-socialist levels, a trend which lasted until the forced collectivization of Stalin. Control of production was given to a central planning agency which set directives for...

Bernie Sanders will never be our President.
Even if he is elected, he will not serve.
If the American people elect Bernie, some thug will be sitting there thinking “The American people have gone completely stupid and I can get away with anything”, and Bernie will go away and then we will have the dictator that we so richly deserve.
The First Year of President Bernie Sanders: What Life in America Will be Like With Him at the Helm

Surreal..how could this be happening in America- ‘running an avowed Socialist, one who is a Socialist but refuses to admit it’, and a guy born in Canada?
Democraps do wonders for this country don’t they. An Islamo-Nazi sympathizer as POTUS, a career criminal as a candidate and if she drops out we get a lunatic who wants everything for free while we are $19 trillion in debt. This party needs to go, seriously. The GOP-E ain’t no gift, but the Democraps are completely and utterly out of their minds. I mean think about it: Hitlery and Sanders? That’s the BEST possible candidates they can find? Are they going to be running Charles Manson next?
With the first term election of B. Clinton, the American electorate began to show signs of cracking, with the second they hit the critical mass of stupidity.
Then, fascinated by political suicide, they elected 0bama to give them hope and spare change, not getting either, the mood turned ugly and just show the powers that be they elected 0bama for a second term.
Now in their fullness of terminal stupidity, they contemplate electing one of the two leading socialist to fulfill their national, nay, world quota of suicidal stupidity.
We already have the dictator we deserve - the question now is: which new dictator will we replace him with?
Half of his Lunatic supporters were young girls that three years ago were screaming at Justin Beiber concerts.
The main supporters of Bernie are the millennials who spent 4 years majoring in gender/women/race/ studies, can’t get a job, who have been excited that this washed-up old geezer says he’ll make everything free for them and make those evil bankers pay for it all. Why wouldn’t they support him?
What Bernie and the rest of the old commies won’t tell you is that victory can only be achieved when the Dictatorship of the Proletariat is established. In order to achieve this, whole classes of people must die; i.e. be forcibly eradicated.
1- Under their idol's beloved communist system this is how "elections" are conducted.
2- There is little difference between the Democrat Party's primary delegate-counting process and the communist vote-counting process.
There is no, zero, difference between Bernie the communist, Bernie the socialist, and the average Democrat voter. Calling him a socialist does nothing to deter the average voter because they are themselves socialists hoping for a communist monarch to set things aright.
They rail against oligarchy without understanding that socialist governments are always oligarchies. They rail against corruption without understanding that corruption is the only way socialism ever works. It is a necessary feature, it is what keeps it from seizing up and coming to a complete halt.
Whatever happened to communism?
They seemed happy with all the free food, education and health care.
And Hillary is a closet communist who doesn't admit to anything!
