Chuck Tood complained about Sanders voters and their vicious attacks they do on the internet and then read a piece from Jonathan Last at The Bulwark comparing those voters to Nazi Paramilitaries, so I ask should Chuck Todd be dismissed from his job?
#FireChuckTodd trends after MSNBC anchor quotes article comparing Bernie Sanders supporters to brownshirts
For the record, the Nazi government was a large central government that took over the nation's industries and peoples lives and their official title was: National SOCIALIST German Workers Party. Mussolini's Fascist government was also a, SOCIALIST government, whereby the government took over the private industry and peoples lives.
Those that aided both governments in keeping the public in line were in Germany, the Brown Shirts and in Italy, the Black Shirts. As both nations had become SOCIALIST governments, Stalin of the Soviet Union, sent both congratulatory letters in the success. What he didn't count on was, while Hitler was a SOCIALIST, he was an extreme Nationalist with delusions of grandeur that Germans were Aryans and thus superior to all other peoples and as such could conquer any nation he went up against.
Bernie is a Marxist-Leninist SOCIALIST (he claims to be a "Democratic Socialist) and as such, he's no better than any of the other nut jobs that preceded him, such as Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, Kim Il Sung, et cetera.
The problem is that such individuals lead revolutions on the premise of benefiting the workers and the end results are always, Authoritarian, repressive, brutal regimes that suppress freedoms and kill off millions of their own people. Once they've done that they flash their new nation's title, such as in North Korea's case: the "DEMOCRATIC" People's Republic of Korea." The populace has the right to vote for a candidate, but there's only one name on the ballot and if you write someone in, or don't vote, you disappear. China, which has an actual Politburo, they give you your list of candidates and you choose from them. Don't bother doing a write in. As to how their government handles people that cry out for "freedom," think Tiananmen Square massacre and what's going on in Hong Kong. Further, if you don't like the Marxist-Leninist country you live in, you can't just say, goodbye, I'm finding something better. Hence the original construction of the Berlin Wall and if you try to leave North Korea. Expect to be shot. In China, they have that much better. You are free to travel most anywhere in the world.....IF....you have earned enough of what they call "social points," thus showing that you are a good Communist. I do have to give Fidel Castro some credit. He grew tired of catching and imprisoning people trying to flee Cuba and instead said, if you don't like it here, "get out," which they did. Rid of most of the dissenters, it was smoother for him and could focus on other matters and only had to occasionally arrest political dissidents (those that disagreed with his brand of Socialism).
Having said all of that, there will be those that point to the Scandinavian countries and say, "There goes successful Democratic Socialist countries." You might want to do your research. One of them experimented with it for a period of 10 years and dropped it, the others are facing serious problems with the large influx of migrants and funds are coming up short to pay for commodities and services and unemployment is up. While they had small populations, homogamically the same, with everyone on the same page, culturally, it worked. The bottom line is that, in small groups, Socialist ideas work, in large populations, not so much.
