Bernie Sanders isn't a ‘democratic socialist’ — he's an all-out Marxist

A socialist is simply a communist who hasn’t started the killing...yet.

[stevem]

Throughout his life, he has proven that, like Obama, he he despises the United States in every manifestation.

[Olog-hai]

Hence the general antipathy of the Founding Fathers to the word “democracy”.

[beethovenfan]

Communism for us but not for him.

[ManHunter]

Well no $hit! Some of us have been saying that for years!

[The Great RJ]

Bernie is an all out Marxist but, Elizabeth Warren is at least a Marxist lite or a Trotskyist.

[Olog-hai]

Social democracy bases its whole world outlook on scientific socialism, i.e. Marxism. …

— Also Lenin, from “The Attitude of the Workers’ Party to Religion”, 1909

Yet more proof that there is no difference between social democracy/democratic socialism and Marxism. But people like Crazy Bernie still rely on those that insist on being ignorant.

Lenin’s Bolshevik Party started out as a faction in the Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party. So Lenin is basically saying that his Marxist party is Marxist. That doesn’t necessarily apply to today’s Social Democratic parties, most of which are working inside the capitalist system. Democratic socialism is something else and may not exist or be possible or work.

There isn't a dime's bit of difference between any of the ‘’isms’’ of the Left. Fascism, Socialism, Communism, Marxism , or Nazism. It's all the same. It's totalitarianism. It's about you climbing into a box car. The verbiage is meant to beguile and confuse. The Left knows decent, freedom loving people will try and engage them in civil discourse and open and honest debate and the Left wants none of it because they know they can't challenge or refute it. That's why violence is their stock in trade. I know these people. I used to be one of them.

Social democratic parties work inside the “capitalist system” in order to establish the “state capital” mentioned in the fifth plank of communism:

Centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

How far away is our own Fed from such a thing? It was enacted by a POTUS (Wilson) who described “socialism and democracy” as ”one and the same”, and looked upon totalitarian seizure of control of the federal government to respond to the imaginary threat of “corporations” as a public good.

Also, as I noted in Post #12, it has always been the communists talking up “democracy” the loudest.
