During CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” network anchor Jim Cramer offered his reactions to the Nevada Democrat debate.
Host Joe Kernen called 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) “genuine,” but Cramer called into question his socialist views, asking if he is really more of a communist.
“Genuine? Is he really a socialist or is he a communist?” Cramer asked. “What is socialist about what he wants? Joe, isn’t he more of a communist?”
Kernen replied, “He is. Well, oh no, I’m not saying that, I don’t, but — it’s a fine line, and it’s authoritarianism either way because you just can’t enforce it unless you put up a whole —”
“It’s a race to see who’s the poorest,” Cramer stated. “‘I’m poor.’ ‘No, I’m poorer than that.’ ‘You know what, I’m incredibly poor.’ ‘I don’t need TurboTax, I can do it with a pencil.’ I mean, wow. This is a party where whoever is the poorest is the person we celebrate.”

Bernie the Commie want the Govt to run everything. Mini Mike wants to use the Govt to tell you what you can, and cannot do with everything you own.
George Putnam used to say “it’s the difference between seduction and rape,”
The question is asked in a way that makes socialism seem benign and palatable. They think we’re stupid.
A Georgetown townhouse and two dachas. To me, that’s a communist.
Communism comes with a bullet
Socialism is Communism that comes with a ballet.
I think of the difference as being like stage 2 vs. stage 4 cancer. Same thing, different only in matter of degree.
