Bernie’s platform is ‘Democratic Socialism’, Very different from real Socialism where the ‘State owns the means of production’.

You vote for the programs and redistribution of wealth at the polls.
This is the Big Lie.

"Bernie’s platform is ‘Democratic Socialism’, Very different from real Socialism where the ‘State owns the means of production’."

If I'm not mistaken, when the State OWNS the means of production that is called COMMUNISM. Socialism allows for private ownership, but reckless redistribution by government is its failing.

This rebranding called "Democratic Socialist" is to look less scary and differentiate between other failed socialist societies, which also have elections and private ownership - for awhile. Chavez and Maduro were both voted in.

“Democratic Socialism” is three people voting to kill two people and steal their property, unless the two have guns.
