Communism is the objective of socialism...........V. Lenin............
“Democratic” Socialism: you can vote your way in, but you have to shoot your way out.
It’s not news, I mean who didn’t know THAT?
“Democratic socialism” is what they call it before they have power.
Democrats USED TO BE at least somewhat bipartisan (they voted for impeachement of Clinton in a bipartisan vote)- BUT- today’s so called democrats are nothing like they used to be- they are all out marxists now- there will never be bipartisan support for nearly anything anymore- If today’s so called democrats were as marxist back during the clinton trial, they would never have voted along with republicans to impeach him despite the overwhelming evidence against him
So called democrats today think they are above the law- and no longer have to compromise anything- heck- they even think they can remove duly elected presidents at will- with no actual crimes begin committed-
We have entered a banana republic with no law for democrats-
Ahhh. Wait until he’s the nominee. Honestly, he has the support of the people. He isn’t lying about what he wants to do. He is telling everyone what his plans are and he’s been consistent for decades (on the big points). In this way he is similar to Trump who ran on very clear ideas. The others are just all out lying as to their intentions. Trump v Bernie and let the people, not the elites, decide
He’s a marxist. The communist party changed its name to democrat.
There is no such thing as a ‘democratic socialist’....just some made up U.S. libtard progressive BS.
What will be the course of this revolution? Above all, it will establish a democratic constitution, and through this, the direct or indirect dominance of the proletariat. […] Democracy would be wholly valueless to the proletariat if it were not immediately used as a means for putting through measures directed against private property and ensuring the livelihood of the proletariat. …“Democratic socialist” is just another name for Marxist.
— The Principles of Communism
(T)he first step in the revolution by the working class will be to raise the proletariat to the level of ruling class to win the battle of democracy. …
— Communist Manifesto, chapter 2
Democratic Socialism: democracy, where every item on the ballot is “socialism”. Question is who decides what’s on the ballot, who disallows “not socialism” as a choice.
Democratic Socialism is simply a propaganda justification. It sounds good. Everyone gets to bicker over their choices, and the Oligarchy is happy with any of the pre-approved outcomes.
Democratic Socialism emerges as the “socialism” option vs “not socialism”, persistent until it wins ... then, as another noted above, “you can vote your way into socialism, but have to shoot your way out”.
This the big gaslighting lie that leftists use to try and convince others that the left in America isn’t actually left. That Obama was a conservatives conservative, and that there aren’t anh actual socialists in the Rat party.
I see it all the time on other boards. To them its a big right wing lie to label bernie a communist. Thhough they have no problem doing the same thing to our side. We’re all fascists etc...
Democratic Socialism is the same thing as Communism, achieved by a different path.
Tyranny of the majority.
And what old Bernie the Red ISNT is a Democrat.
The smarmy, ill-informed, know-nothing know-it-alls that O’Keefe has shown to be part of Sanders’ campaign are a product of what passes for ‘higher’ education these days. Harvard has a >$40 billion endowment, yet you can find limousine Marxists around every corner, and this is not uncommon in most universities.
I would raise the voting age to 21, unless you have served in the military.
Imagine thinking there was any functional, long-term difference between democracy and communism anywise.
Every Marxist claimed to be a Democrat. Hence, the German Democratic Republic, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen, etc.
A democratic socialist is a communist who hopes to fool the voters into electing him so he can then rule forever.
What a sad commentary on our country that this man is considered a legitimate candidate for anything.
