It is insane that the democrats don’t make the connection.

Dems think income inequality is more important than toilet paper.

When you consider the public schools have been controlled by childish leftist teachers who hate America and pass on their lies to the children, it is no wonder the left are neo Nazi fascists.

One of the most important attributes of a good socialist is the ability to lie to oneself.

Secondarily is the ability to refuse to accept reality.

Of course, the two are related.

Yet incredibly, neither Bernie Sanders nor his voters make this connection.

Hey, IBD - that's not his job, because he has an agenda to advance. How come you're not asking the Republicans to explain to the voters that socialism is a loser and will always result in starvation and executions?

Once they get guns out of the hands of patriots, they’ll go full commie. Think how much it’s changed in the last ten years. Ten years ago, all the Dems wanted to say they were actually for the 2nd amendment (even Obama!). Now there are numerous Dems calling for Australian style outright confiscation.

Not another "did you know that Bernie is a socialist" post.

We got it. Bernie is a socialist. It takes a little digging to find out. You have to listen to him when he tells you he is a socialist and I guess you have to take him at his word that he is not, in reality, a crypto fascist.

The irony that is lost on all the idiots who think this needs to be repeated is that Bernie is not is a sell-out crony capitalist, in either Democrat or Whig clothing.

If it is sell-out Marco v Bernie, my dollars are on Bernie. Yes, we get it - Bernie is a socialist.

There is no income inequality, there is a free market in which we can get paid what we find we are worth.
Some are not even worth the minimum wage.

They make the connection just fine.

They just don't give a damn.

Besides, the problem with vene zooalia was that they ran out of money.

That will not happen here, because we will simply raise taxes for more money!

The failures of socialism is always blamed on the corruption of the United States.

For example the failure of Cuba is because the US isolated Cuba. The fact that Canada, Mexico and all of Europe trade with Cuba is irrelevant.

If you are willing to ignore economic and historical facts it easy to be for socialism because it is very emotionally comforting to be able to blame your failures on someone else.

A socialist is just a communist with an iPhone.

They call themselves leftists so they can remember which hand to use when the toilet paper runs out.

How is a democratic socialist different from a national socialist?

Sanders is a neanderthal. He’s simply spouting the same cheap slogans of an unchanged, brutal, and completely failed 175 year old economic theory. It has literally failed everywhere it has been tried - and yet he proudly calls himself a socialist.

How is a democratic socialist different from a national socialist?

As I define things, democratic socialism and national socialism are in different dimensions:

Democratic socialism is distinct from undemocratic socialism. Democratic socialism is where the people vote themselves one another's money. Undemocratic socialism is where the worst get on top, the people are disarmed, and elections are cancelled.

National socialism is distinct from purely economic socialism. The difference between them is who the public wants to be killed. Under national socialism, the public wants people of other races or nationalities to be killed (e.g., German Nazism). Under purely economic socialism, the public wants people of certain classes to be killed—like entrepreneurs, the rich or intellectuals (e.g., Soviet Communism).

“Yet incredibly, neither Bernie Sanders nor his voters make this connection.”

You don’t understand. Hugo was such a nice guy and did such great things for his people. But greedy, counterrevolutionary, reactionary forces destroyed Venezuela’s economy just to make Bernie Sanders look bad.

So it wouldn’t be fair to make Bernie talk about it.
