Budding socialist, Bernie supporter battles Cavuto; declares capitalism 'illegitimate'
Bizpac Review ^ | April 15, 2016 | Michael Dorstewitz

One of the organizers of Wednesday's "Million Student March" locked horns with Neil Cavuto Thursday, calling capitalism an "illegitimate" economic system.

Wednesday's demonstration called for free college education, forgiveness of all student loan debt and a $15 minimum wage for all student campus workers.

Darletta Scruggs, one of the organizers and a Sen. Bernie Sanders supporter, called Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton "a candidate of Wal-Mart, Wall Street and war," during a contentious 18-minute interview where she constantly talked over the Fox Business Network host.

She wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the phrase, "Socialist Alternative," and went on to say that capitalism "cannot produce any substantial quality of life no matter how hard we work."

I said from the beginning that Bernie's 'job' so to speak was to get socialism discussion out in the open and assign an 'it's really okay you know, and really not that bad' meme. He's done his job and has exceeded even probably his wildest expectations. Now 'the kids' are talking up Bernie, talking about socialism as an alternative, etc. The teachers and professors no doubt are encouraging this mush. 20 years ago and you would have been a laughing stock. Socialists/communists are always going 'forward'. They don't have a platform except racism, abortion, income inequality and social justice. Nothing really to offer except to destroy the existing order. Gee, hasn't this happened before? Not on our watch!

Bernie seems like a nice guy - but his ‘true believes’ are hell's demons...

I saw that. She’s a complete idiot and not yet old enough to know as much as she thinks she knows. Just another young skull full of (fill in the blank) and I hope I never have to see or listen to her and the crap being extruded out of her wide open pie hole again.

Did Cavuto tell her she’s not trying to make college free, she just wants non-students to pay for it.

He should have told her we already have people who do that.

We call them parents.

Empirical facts of economic history prove that the general prosperity of the last 200 years was the result of private property, capital accumulation, rationality, and technological progress. These are all characteristics of capitalism, and they also lead to increased standard of living for the average worker.

She hasn’t figured out that all those things she wants to “redistribute” are produced by capitalism.

You have to have absolutely NO idea of history or economics in the slightest to make such a statement.

This proves that it's possible to have a negative IQ number.

I agree.
Why is it she thinks government should pay for anything?

She kept talking about the military expenditure s.
That’s governments responsibility.
Paying for her education is not

The Constitution limits the fed gov to specific activities and ownerships.

Socialism in any form requires those Constitutional limits to be ignored.

All socialists of any kind are enemy of the Constitution.

I saw that segment with Cavuto; you know they have a mic control for volume on those so called interviews.
The rule should be, if you interrupt more than twice, try to outshout your host or debate opponent, try to monopolize the topic with endless commentary, your mic will be turned down or off until it is your turn again

That’s called THEFT or STEALING where I come from, if you tried it with me I would probably shoot you.

Socialism is wide scale entropy.

Good description! Reminded me of Churchill: "“Social­ism is a phi­los­o­phy of fail­ure, the creed of igno­rance, and the gospel of envy, its inher­ent virtue is the equal shar­ing of misery.”.

He nailed it. Hey Bernie, ya' ever red any Churhcill?
