Democratic Socialism. sm
Posted: Sep 12, 2015
Socialism without democracy is communism (Marxism-Leninism), capitalism without socialism is facism. Capitalism without ethics and concern for labor carries its own destruction.

Oh, brother. Either Bernie doesn't understand basic - definitions or he hopes that you don't..
[ In Reply To ..]"Socialism without democracy is communism."
"Capitalism without socialism is fascism."
Stop it, please. My sides are aching. Maybe some mainstream reporter will look up the definitions of these terms and then begin to inquire whether it's Sanders who's nuts or the people who unquestioningly swallow his nonsensical platitudes - or maybe both.
Not much for the dems to choose from this election cycle; - a washed u hag with possible
[ In Reply To ..]criminal charges pending, and a tired, weak, over-the-hill socialist, and a gaff-o-matic V.P. buffoon. How exciting!!!
Sanders, an admitted socialist, proves the fact that - democrat voters are socialist.
[ In Reply To ..]Socialism is about taking from one to give to another, so I guess you could say we have become a socialist nation already. In order to get votes, a socialist politician has to play Santa Clause.
Remember how quickly Bernie backed away from the Black Lives Matter fiasco during his rally? Can you imagine how he'll handle Iran or Russia?
What difference does it make. This country is hanging on by a thread anyway. Might as well put Al Sharpton on the ticket.
On the other hand, Bernie Sanders is the key to a Trump presidency.
With all the refugees and illegals coming in getting benefits, - there's not going to be anything left
[ In Reply To ..]to redistribute.
the official announcement of this redistribution comes on September 23 in New York City by the UN.
This country is so divided and frankly I think we - reached a point of no return.
[ In Reply To ..]Many of our leaders are smart lawyers, but that is what some use to take advantage of a less smart citizenry. Using intelligence to take advantage of poor, stupid people is criminal, but that is what is being done, and it is sickening to see.
To serve the people we tell them the truth instead of putting the truth above them, and we put the truth in their hands, too, instead of using it as our exclusive privilege.
Some people now don't think communism is so bad, now - that the lines between right and wrong
[ In Reply To ..]blurred. Anything goes. It's all about power and money. You have the power to take from those who have the money. And it's all done using rhetoric like "fair share" and "even playing field."
Read some of the C-SPAN Facebook feed. The sheer amount of idiots who post there is unbelievable. You start questioning whether you live in the Twilight Zone.
That's your expensive college education for you. - Truthhurts
[ In Reply To ..]They found it worked so well with college, they stepped down to high school, which also worked well. Now they have decided to start working on the elementary kids.
In 10-15 years, we will be a communist country and under the U.N.'s laws (reminder: U.N. more Muslim countries than democratic countries) unless this country and it's people wake up, step up and stop it.
I think it will be a combination of Islamofascism and - Communism.

The emergence of Orwellian Newspeak and the - death of free speech...
[ In Reply To ..]“If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it…. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of ‘facts’ they feel stuffed, but absolutely ‘brilliant’ with information. Then they’ll feel they’re thinking, they’ll get a sense of motion without moving. And they’ll be happy, because facts of that sort don’t change.” ― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
How do you change the way people think? You start by changing the words they use.
In totalitarian regimes—a.k.a. police states—where conformity and compliance are enforced at the end of a loaded gun, the government dictates what words can and cannot be used. In countries where the police state hides behind a benevolent mask and disguises itself as tolerance, the citizens censor themselves, policing their words and thoughts to conform to the dictates of the mass mind.
Even when the motives behind this rigidly calibrated reorientation of societal language appear well-intentioned—discouraging racism, condemning violence, denouncing discrimination and hatred—inevitably, the end result is the same: intolerance, indoctrination and infantilism.
It’s political correctness disguised as tolerance, civility and love, but what it really amounts to is the chilling of free speech and the demonizing of viewpoints that run counter to the cultural elite.
As a society, we’ve become fearfully polite, careful to avoid offense, and largely unwilling to be labeled intolerant, hateful, closed-minded or any of the other toxic labels that carry a badge of shame today. The result is a nation where no one says what they really think anymore, at least if it runs counter to the prevailing views. Intolerance is the new scarlet letter of our day, a badge to be worn in shame and humiliation, deserving of society’s fear, loathing and utter banishment from society.
For those “haters” who dare to voice a different opinion, retribution is swift: they will be shamed, shouted down, silenced, censored, fired, cast out and generally relegated to the dust heap of ignorant, mean-spirited bullies who are guilty of various “word crimes.”
We have entered a new age where, as commentator Mark Steyn notes, “we have to tiptoe around on ever thinner eggshells” and “the forces of ‘tolerance’ are intolerant of anything less than full-blown celebratory approval.”
In such a climate of intolerance, there can be no freedom speech, expression or thought.

They're learning political correctness disguised as - tolerance, but what it really
[ In Reply To ..]amounts to is the chilling of free speech and the demonizing of viewpoints that run counter to the cultural elite.
I wonder how many college students have ever heard of The White Rose, university students resisting the Nazis.
Today college is the hub of suppressing free speech.
Sanders is getting support from rich Hollywood socialists. Since - rich liberals love socialism so much,
[ In Reply To ..]perhaps they would be willing to cough up 80% of their wealth to the govt.
They can pledge their money, furs, diamonds, houses, sports cars, to get communism in America!
Would love to say to one of these wealthy hypocrites, "filthy capitalist dollar? I thought you progressives hated capitalism"
I certainly would not look to Hollyweird to measure the acceptance of a political candidate. For goodness sakes they think George Clooney should run.
LOL! Look what I did I made a funny!
I just can't understand the "Hollyweird" people nor people like Buffet - Truthhurts
[ In Reply To ..]They want to make the big bucks but think nothing of trying to force socialism or even communism on the rest of us.
Do they really think they wouldn't be affected? Do they think they can buy their way out of redistribution of wealth?
The only reason I wouldn't mind socialism or communism to happen in this country is to see the look on their faces when they have to hand over their wealth.
On second thought, never mind! I just realized that back in the days of Stalin and Lenin, the elite kept their wealth while the peons suffered. That would include Buffett and his ilk plus Hollyweird.
Or their wealth was confiscated and they were murdered. - I don't think people really
[ In Reply To ..]understand Communism. They also murdered so-called intellectuals and partisans. Can't have anyone forming groups and thinking for themselves. They might rebel.

Check out the results of corporatism (aka capitalism minus social programs). And some folks think the CEO guy needs another tax break!

I Do Not Understand The Democratic Way Of ThinkingOct 09, 2012
I have had numerous "debates" with some of my friends and family on the democratic way of thinking. They say republicans help the "rich get richer" and republicans are "greedy," etc. What I don't understand is how democrats cannot understand the simple concept that the rich will STAY rich no matter how many taxes they have to pay in. The "rich" are the ones who create the jobs. The oil companies (I will admit their profits are excessive), but they provide MANY jobs, corporate companies ...
Weird Democratic Strategy ...maybe? Jun 23, 2014

The Ugly Root Of Socialism: EnvySep 15, 2015
Envy is the emotion that arises in the human heart "when a person lacks another's superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it (for themselves) or wishes that the other lacked it". This whole "income inequality" thing, at bottom, is about nothing more or less than envy. Being immediately recognized even to ourselves as an ugly thing, it's necessary to justify it, just as we have to justify to ourselves other forms of ugliness such as anger, pride or lust. ...
