Just need enough votes to get this ball rolling.

Communism, before the guns come out...

What is a Democratic Socialist?

That one is easy.

It's what contemporary American communists call themselves.

[Kozak]

The goal of socialism is communism.

After reading the quotes from an interview the other day, the verdict is clearly in-she is a total ignorant, statist, Leftist, dummy.

"Unemployment is DOWN because so many people are holding down two jobs."

"Unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week, and can barely feed their kids."

Just wow. First, if Unemployment is down because people are holding down more than one job, the economy must REALLY be cooking because one person is now occupying TWO jobs! WOW!

Secondly...people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their kids?

The kids? First, dispense with the hours worked relating to unemployment, and even if someone WAS working that many hours, I'll bet everyone in that family has a top of the line smart phone, unlimited data plan, individual computers for people, flat screen televisions, cable television, and large flat panel displays...even the poor, undernourished kids.

Democratic Socialism means no toilet paper on the roller.

A keeper. Too bad we can’t post this in every classroom.

[IronJack]

Sugar-coated communism.

[SMARTY]

"...the structure of society is to be levelled down to the standard of the populace. General equality is to reign, everything is to be equally vulgar. The same way of getting money and the same pleasures to spend it on: panem et circenses - no more is wanted, no more would be understood. Superiority, manners, taste, and every description of inward rank are crimes. Ethical, religious, national ideas, marriage for the sake of children, the family, State authority: all these are old-fashioned and reactionary... Through money, democracy becomes its own destroyer… after money has destroyed intellect.” ― Oswald Spengler,

COMMUNISM, whose principles have been immersed into almost all learning institutions.

What Is Democratic Socialism?

It's Hitler and Stalin wannabes lying to get elected. Once elected, they reveal themselves to be dictators, removing all aspects of freedom and liberty.

Yep, and the goal,of democratic socialism is full socialism, state controlled everything. Just another step to slow the boil to communism.

[ml/nj]

Democratic Socialism is where government can do whatever it wants with money you earned and reasonably thought belonged to you so long as it sometime holds a vote where 50% plus one of the voters agree it is a good thing.

[Jack Hammer]

Just another term used to denote the sort of air headed a-holes who want to give us a return to the USSR, Mao’s China, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, and leave us all in the sort of mud we see in Cuba and Venezuela.

Their response to any objection: “But communism hasn’t been done right; we’ll get it right this time....”

Fantasy.

What? The question should be where

Europe

The progressives are intellectually deficient and place their entire philosophy on copying Europe.
