So he wants to take over small farms by making them dependent on subsidies.

The breaking up monopolies part I could support. Having so much power over food supplies is not good.

"...some crook on Wall Street the stump who destroys the economy..."

That be the Burnster...

[gaijin]

How about busting up IT monopolies..?

[Captain Compassion]

Agrarian reform? How collectivist of Sanders.

[kingu]

I'm confused, care to expand on where the farming monopolies are? ‘Corporate farms’ make up five percent of the market, with just a half percent of all farms being ‘non-family corporations’, the rest have 10 or fewer shareholders.

So .5 percent is the target to ‘break up’?

[Fightin Whitey]

Welfare Govopolies.

Maybe, but I’m guessing Bernie is ignorant of how many of his proposals are already in effect.

If he was proposing the breakup of big meat processors and prosecuting them for hiring illegals, he’d be on to something. As it is, he’s just on something....

[kingu]

It ain’t real socialism unless you destroy the food source as well. Feel the Bern....

[Sacajaweau]

And just how do you break them up?

[JohnBrowdie]

Dumbass. The biggest agricultural monopolist is the us dept of agriculture.

[Rurudyne]

And both are better than these Socialist leaning nitwits who think we won’t become another Venezuela if they get their way.

[shanover]

He just wants GOVERNMENT to be the agricultural monopoly.

[dfwgator]

Of course I know in Bernie’s case, as with all collectivists it’s the classic Commie bait-and-switch. Promise the peasants land for their support, then seize the land to create Collective Farms.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Bernie wants the US farming system like that of Africa, run off the white farmers, give land to everyone and hope they know how to farm and feed us. Sorry Bernie it is the large scale farming enterprises that make money.

That and his new plan called the “Soylent Green” initiative.

[Seaplaner]

How about busting up IT monopolies..?

Yes, and how about busting up large law firms, networks, and other entertainment trusts?

(And the clinton, soros, and boomberg syndicates, or however they might be classed.)
