How The Democrats Got To Bernie

[PoliticalChic]

This is the story that government school left out.


1.As America entered the 20th century, it did so as a world power. By 1905 the navy was 20% of the federal government. With the increasing pressure for federal taxation came a taste for redistributing income. The Civil War produced the first tax on personal income, but it was to pay for the war, and was abolished in 1872. But, having had a taste of taking and using free money, politicians passed more than 60 bills designed to reinstate the income tax over the next 20 years.
David G. Davies, “United States Taxes and Tax Policy,” p. 22.


2. Congress substantially increase pensions for veterans, and realized it could use ‘entitlements’ to bring different groups to support them in elections. While the post-Civil War Republican party dabbled in this sort of thing, making inroads in the nation’s economic life, Franklin Roosevelt turned it into an artform.

3. In 1913, along with Progressive, racist, Democrat Woodrow Wilson, came the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment and enactment of the income tax. The Progressives were all over it! They had been focused on forcing the “money class” to pay “in proportion to their ability to pay…’ which, essentially was the first half of “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

See where this is goin'?



4. “New Deal policies were calculated not merely to please or placate existing constituencies but to create many constituencies…who would be dependent on the government whose programs summoned them to dependency.

Before the 1930s, the adjective ‘liberal’ denoted policies of individualism and individual rights; since Roosevelt, it has primarily pertained to the politics of interest groups. Roosevelt’s wager was that by assiduously using legislation and regulations to multiply federally favored groups, and by rhetorically pitting those favored by government against the unfavored, he could create a permanent majority coalition.” George Will, “The Conservative Sensibility,” p.292-293

5. “The mere existence of this mechanism (federal income tax) altered America’s political culture by quickening the itch of the political class to provide benefits to client groups who were convinced that they would be net winners from income transfers…..hastened the growth of the politics of envy, clothed in the language of ‘fairness’….an ever expanding menu of popular benefits that would ostensibly would be paid for by unpopular minorities (the ‘rich’, and ‘corporations’).” Op. Cit., p.293



6. No longer would government allow the pursuit of happiness…..now Franklin Roosevelt would rob some Americans to guarantee that happiness to his selected groups…

‘With this broad purpose in mind, I have further described the spirit of my program as a “new deal," which is plain English for a changed concept of the duty and responsibility or government toward economic life.” http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/_resources/images/msf/msf00563
Radio address, October 6, 1932




What we find in Progressives, and Franklin Roosevelt in particular, is a desire to turn back the advances of political history to feudal times, where a king was in charge of everything, and was responsible for the food and shelter of his subjects.

That ‘new deal’ announced that government would now provide everything for the serfs, if they would simply turn over all their freedom to him.
Exactly the way Tocqueville described Liberalism.

 

[PoliticalChic]

7. Bernie Sanders, Marxist, leader of the Democrat Party, didn’t simply materialize from nothing….as Liberals claim about the origins of the universe….Nope…Bernie is the logical outcome of what the Democrat Party stands for.



The meaning of the term rights, today, represents what the Founders promised, and what the Left claims in will provide. The most important word in the Declaration of Independence is found here:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, …”

The word is ‘secure.’

That means that the most important function of government is to maintain pre-existing rights, not to create them, nor to dispense them. They are known and self-evident prior to the founding of our nation, are inalienable, whether one chooses to use them or not.

These are the rights:

Men are created equal, and enjoy the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.




8. Roosevelt took on a responsibility by government for “one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.”
And claimed a duty of government to raise the ‘standard of living.’


“We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people — whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth — is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.”
“insecure”? Hence, no limit on all the things government will now do.


These are not the rights America promised.


Can you hear Bernie in those words?

 

[PoliticalChic]

9. Government school is the modern day gulag, its mission is not to provide either the truth or the tools to find the truth….but to hide both.



I challenge any Democrat supporter to admit that they have never read classic tomes such as de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America.”

Written nearly two centuries ago, it describes Liberals/Progressives such as Roosevelt, and up to Bernie Sanders, today, and what their plans were even then:

Alexis de Tocqueville, writing “Democracy in America” in the 1830’s, described “an immense, tutelary power, which takes sole charge of assuring their enjoyment and of watching over their fate.” As he predicted, this power is “absolute, attentive to detail, regular, provident, and gentle,” and it “works willingly for their happiness, but it wishes to be the only agent and the sole arbiter of that happiness. It provides for their security, foresees and supplies their needs, guides them in their principal affairs, directs their industry, regulates their testaments, divides their inheritances.” It is entirely proper to ask, as he asked, whether it can “relieve them entirely of the trouble of thinking and of the effort associated with living.”


That’s government school’s job:

Keep them dumb, pliable, and in lock-step with collectivism.


And it seems, largely....to have worked.

The best that can be said about FDR is that he MAY have forestalled a socialist/communist revolution during the Great Depression.

Until now, perhaps?

Have you seen this, j?


As Hitler marched into Poland, Whittaker Chambers arranged a private meeting with Adolf Berle, President Roosevelt’s assistant Sec’y of State. Chambers detailed the Communist espionage network, naming at least two dozen Soviet spies in Roosevelt’s administration, including Alger Hiss. Berle reported this to Roosevelt, who laughed, and told Berle to go f--- himself.
Arthur Herman, Joseph McCarthy: Reexaming the Life and Legacy of America’s Most Hated Senator, p. 60.

No action was taken, and in fact, Roosevelt promoted Hiss. Almost a decade later, Chambers was called before the HUAC and named Hiss as a Soviet agent. Hiss sued Chambers, at which time Chambers presented “… four notes in Alger Hiss's handwriting, sixty-five typewritten copies of State Department documents and five strips of microfilm, some of which contained photographs of State Department documents. The press came to call these the"PumpkinPapers" Whittaker Chambers - Wikipedia)


Franklin wanted nothing more than to swim with the other sharks....Mussolini, Hitler, and most of all, Stalin.
Roosevelt welcomed Stalin's agents into his administration....had one living in the White House.

They...the Democrats....would welcome it.

10. Progressive Franklin Roosevelt took the idea of equality in our founding documents to the economic realm. The Second Bill of Rights, 1944, was actually a replacement of the Bill of Rights, and a redefinition of the relationship of the citizen and his government: a federal takeover of the responsibilities of everyday life:

The right to a useful and remunerative job…
The right to a good education.
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies…
The right to adequate protection fromn the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment.
Then right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health.
The right of every family to a decent home.
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation.


Ayn Rand, in reviewing each of the ‘rights’ guaranteed by FDR suggested asking ‘at whose expense?’




11. “[The New Bill of Rights] bound ordinary citizens to the federal government in a way that had not been imagined by the Founding Fathers. People came to rely on the state for their daily bread, and to take a much keener interest in the state itself.

Traditional values- thrift, independence, self-reliance- were replaced with new virtues: political activism and gaming the system. In the second Roosevelt era, people came to expect the state to take care of things at home.”
Bonner, Wiggins, “The New Empire of Debt: The Rise and Fall of an Epic Financial Bubble,” p. 134.




Enter Bernie Sanders, stage Left.

"In Appreciation For Primary Win, Bernie Promises To Make New Hampshire The Site Of His Very First Re-Education Camp
February 12th, 2020

NEW HAMPSHIRE—After an astounding victory against Democratic rivals in the New Hampshire primaries, Bernie Sanders expressed his thanks to an adoring crowd of Bolsheviks and college students. Also present was a contingent of lying dog-faced pony soldiers, who flipped their support to Bernie after Biden’s recent gaffe.


“I happen to believe,” Senator Sanders began, “that the re-education of racists and freedom lovers from the middle of the country will be essential to healing and remaking this nation. That is why I am pleased to announce that we will build our very first re-education facility right here in the great state of New Hampshire.”

Wild cheers broke out from the crowd as Bernie supporters were moved by this great honor.

Sanders promised that this brand new camp will be tuition-free, and will provide unlimited government cheese, flour, and abortions to both men and women.

Bernie Sanders Campaign staffers were quick to inform him that such a facility may be redundant since the famous Dartmouth College Re-Education Camp already exists in New Hampshire. “That’s no problem,” said Bernie. “Just throw up some barbed wire around Dartmouth, build a train track for the cattle cars, and we’re done!”
In Appreciation For Primary Win, Bernie Promises To Make New Hampshire The Site Of His Very First Re-Education Camp
Sources close to the Sanders campaign report that Bernie will pick AOC as his first Dean of Economics Re-education.

12. What Progressives/Liberals/Democrats fight to keep hidden is the consequence of FDR’s New Deal, and the continuation by Lyndon Johnson as his Great Society set of anti-poverty programs. Whether you call all of these Leftists what they are, Marxists/materialists, they all share the idea that it is only material things, things that one can actually hold in the hand that are important. FDR, LBJ, Stalin, on and on, have no place for values, morality, character, responsibility, religion in their views.


The American Enterprise Institute’s Nicholas Eberstadt, in “The Great Society at Fifty: The Triumph and the Tragedy, speaks of “the earthquake that shook family structure in the era of expansive anti-poverty policies” has seen out-of-wedlock births increase from 7.7 percent in 1965 to more than 40 percent in 2012, including 72 percent of black babies.
Eberstadt asks: Is it “simply a coincidence” that male flight from work and family breakdown have coincided with Great Society policies, and that dependence on government is more widespread and perhaps more habitual than ever?



From Roosevelt on, and continuing up to Bernie, Democrat Marxists, or at least ‘materialists,’ have succeeded in subverting the character of America to one that is comfortable with dependency.

“America’s national character had to be changed if Progressives were going to implement their agenda…..government became a geyser of entitlements. In 2010…government transferred more than $2.2 trillion …$7,500 per individual, about $30,000 per family of four….67% of federal spending.”
George Will, “The Conservative Sensibility,” p.328-329



The nation needs to hand the Democrats a 49 state landslide loss to make the point about what that party has become.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Non-workers of the world unite!




13. While Democrats/Progressives may be the originators, Republicans certainly didn’t put the brakes on. To see the path our government has chosen for us, just one sentence is jaw-dropping: The “Green New Deal” agenda offered by the most radical of the new Democrats…

“Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal offers ‘economic security’ for those ‘unwilling to work’” https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/07/ocasio-cortezs-green-new-deal-offers-economic-security-for-those-unwilling-to-work.html



Even more mature Democrats are fine with dependency:

“Pelosi: Obamacare Allows You to Quit Your Job and Become 'Whatever' (CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that Obamacare facilitates the type of “liberation” that the “Founders had in mind” because it allows you to quit your job and become a “photographer,” a “writer,” a “musician”--or “whatever.”

“As you hear from these stories, this is a liberation,” Pelosi said…’
Pelosi: Obamacare Allows You to Quit Your Job and Become 'Whatever'


No matter how many of the lazy are living on their neighbor’s earning, the reason is Progressivism.

Beginning with Stalin's BFF, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

1. " [At] the University of Chicago, Sanders joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. He also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

2. ...graduating with a political science degree, Sanders moved to Vermont, where he headed the American People’s History Society, an organ for Marxist propaganda. There, he produced a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed for espionage during the Red Scare and hailed by the Bolsheviks as “America’s greatest Marxist.” Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist | New York Post


a. Eugene Victor Debs, Bernie's paragon: "... Debs agreed with the left wing of the Socialist Party—people like Bill Haywood and Mother Jones, who would help found the Industrial Workers of the World (the 'Wobblies). They advocated workers taking control where the power of the ruling class was rooted—in the factories. ... Within the SP, members had verydifferent ideas about socialism and how it would be achieved. Some believed in socialism as a steady increase in social reforms achieved by socialists being elected to political office—others looked to a revolutionary transformation of society.....

Eventually, those leftists who remained in the SP quit to help form a new Communist Party on the model of what Lenin and the Bolsheviks had built in Russia. Debs, while he supported the Russian Revolution and remained a revolutionary, nonetheless stayed in the SP." Socialism according to Eugene V. Debs


Still imagine there is any great difference between socialists and communists....and Bernie?



3. This subversive hero of Sanders, [Eugene Victor Debs,] denounced even by liberal Democrats as a “traitor,” bashed “the barons of Wall Street” and hailed the “triumphant” Bolshevik revolution in Russia.


“Those Russian comrades of ours have made greater sacrifices, have suffered more, and have shed more heroic blood than any like number of men and women anywhere on Earth,” Debs proclaimed. “They have laid the foundation of the first real democracy that ever drew the breath of life in this world.” Socialism according to Eugene V. Debs


4. "In a 1918 speech in Canton, Ohio, Debs reaffirmed his solidarity with Lenin and Trotsky, despite clear evidence of their violent plunder and treachery. Sanders still hangs a portrait of Debs on the wall in his Senate office." NYPost, Op. Cit.


This Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."
Now about the Democrat Party elite, Bernie Sanders: Communist, Socialist, Liberal, and Progressive


5." ... Sanders helped found the Liberty Union Party, which called for the nationalization of all US banks and the public takeover of all private utility companies. [Before Maxine Waters, too!]

... Sanders in 1981 managed to get elected mayor of Burlington, Vt., where he restricted property rights for landlords, set price controls and raised property taxes to pay for communal land trusts. Local small businesses distributed fliers complaining their new mayor “does not believe in free enterprise.”


6. His radical activities didn’t stop at the water’s edge. Sanders took several “goodwill” trips not only to the USSR, but also to Cuba and Nicaragua, where the Soviets were trying to expand their influence in our hemisphere.

In 1985, he traveled to Managua to celebrate the rise to power of the Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government. He called it a “heroic revolution.” Undermining anti-communist US policy, Sanders denounced the Reagan administration’s backing of the Contra rebels in a letter to the Sandinistas.

“The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people — substantially more support — than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” Sanders told Vermont government-access TV in 1985." Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist | New York Post


(BTW...Ortega and the Sandinistas were voted out of power in 1990. Ortega ran for election again, in October 1996 and November 2001, but lost on both occasions)





7. "Sanders also adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow and honeymooned with his second wife in the USSR. He put up a Soviet flag in his office, shocking even the Birkenstock-wearing local liberals. At the time, the Evil Empire was on the march around the world, and threatening the US with nuclear annihilation.


Then, in 1989, as the West was on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the US Peace Council — a known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath not only to the Soviet Union but to “the triumph of Soviet power in the US.” Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist | New York Post



8."Today, Sanders wants to bring what he admired in the USSR, Cuba, Nicaragua and other communist states to America.

For starters, he proposes completely nationalizing our health care system and putting private health insurance and drug companies “out of business.” He also wants to break up “big banks” and control the energy industry, while providing “free” college tuition, a “living wage” and guaranteed homeownership and jobs through massive public works projects.

Price tag: $18 trillion.

Who will pay for it all? You will. Sanders plans to not only soak the rich with a 90 percent-plus tax rate, while charging Wall Street a “speculation tax,” but hit every American with a “global-warming tax.”

Of course, even that wouldn’t cover the cost of his communist schemes; a President Sanders would eventually soak the middle class he claims to champion. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need, right?



9. Sanders and his Sanderistas are all still pining for what Debs called “the Greater Revolution yet to come.”

What’s revolting is how this hardcore commie’s campaign has gotten this far. With his ascendancy in both Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders is no longer just a fool; he’s now a dangerous fool.

While it may be hard to hate the old codger, it’s easy — and virtuous — to hate his un-American ideas. They should be swept into the dustbin with the rest of communist history."

14. While Judeo-Christian society labels actions as ‘good’ or ‘evil,’ due to morality and/or self-control, the Left sees the results as due to material inequality, i.e., violent crime is claimed to be due to poverty.

The Left has been far more interested in fighting material inequality than tyranny, which is why Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc., tend to have the support of Leftists around the world.

The Left is less interested in creating wealth than in distributing it.
Dennis Prager, “Still The Best Hope”



15. “No, Senator, It Is NOT Congress’s Job To ‘Redistribute Wealth’
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) on Wednesday said Congress is not doing its job of redistributing income in a fair way.

He is scolding Congress for ‘not doing its job’ in ‘redistributing wealth in a fair way’. He’s obviously mistaken America for someplace else. Surely he must be describing some Soviet-Era state with assigned housing and breadlines… not a nation forged in the Spirit of ’76. Right?

You’d like to think so, but you’d be wrong.

The Democrats’ “Long March” toward Socialism (or worse!) is picking up the pace. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. Their buddies in Hollywood are citing Marx at award shows (‘Workers Of The World Unite’) while Senators scold Congress for failing to do their bit in wealth redistribution.”

(BTW...Ortega and the Sandinistas were voted out of power in 1990. Ortega ran for election again, in October 1996 and November 2001, but lost on both occasions)





7. "Sanders also adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow and honeymooned with his second wife in the USSR. He put up a Soviet flag in his office, shocking even the Birkenstock-wearing local liberals. At the time, the Evil Empire was on the march around the world, and threatening the US with nuclear annihilation.


Then, in 1989, as the West was on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the US Peace Council — a known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath not only to the Soviet Union but to “the triumph of Soviet power in the US.” Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist | New York Post



8."Today, Sanders wants to bring what he admired in the USSR, Cuba, Nicaragua and other communist states to America.

For starters, he proposes completely nationalizing our health care system and putting private health insurance and drug companies “out of business.” He also wants to break up “big banks” and control the energy industry, while providing “free” college tuition, a “living wage” and guaranteed homeownership and jobs through massive public works projects.

Price tag: $18 trillion.

Who will pay for it all? You will. Sanders plans to not only soak the rich with a 90 percent-plus tax rate, while charging Wall Street a “speculation tax,” but hit every American with a “global-warming tax.”

Of course, even that wouldn’t cover the cost of his communist schemes; a President Sanders would eventually soak the middle class he claims to champion. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need, right?



9. Sanders and his Sanderistas are all still pining for what Debs called “the Greater Revolution yet to come.”

What’s revolting is how this hardcore commie’s campaign has gotten this far. With his ascendancy in both Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders is no longer just a fool; he’s now a dangerous fool.

While it may be hard to hate the old codger, it’s easy — and virtuous — to hate his un-American ideas. They should be swept into the dustbin with the rest of communist history."

The only difference between a socialist and a communist is the demand for an armed revolution.
The communists are always socialists until their strong enough to kill the opposition.

You certainly are the queen of Babylon. Outside your bubble of Bologna ignorance, socialism today is neither marxist-leninist or communist. It is simply always Democratic fair capitalism with a good safety net... Ask a socialist instead of listening to garbage propaganda. When I was in France junior year abroad in 1971 they had a socialist party and a Communist party and they we're different very much. Now the Communist party is basically disappeared. Same with every other modern country that had a Communist party like Italy. The English-speaking world led by the UK and the United States are the most Savage capitalist and always have been. They just love conflating Marxism communism socialism were there a ridiculous Tory Republican propaganda. The modern world that doesn't speak English is not so brainwashed.... Brexiteers and trumpsters are brainwashed functional moron rubes.... Like you. By the way Napoleon was slightly taller than average and he did not say The British were a nation of shopkeepers, he said they were a nation of monopolists...

14. While Judeo-Christian society labels actions as ‘good’ or ‘evil,’ due to morality and/or self-control, the Left sees the results as due to material inequality, i.e., violent crime is claimed to be due to poverty.

The Left has been far more interested in fighting material inequality than tyranny, which is why Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, etc., tend to have the support of Leftists around the world.

The Left is less interested in creating wealth than in distributing it.

15. “No, Senator, It Is NOT Congress’s Job To ‘Redistribute Wealth’
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) on Wednesday said Congress is not doing its job of redistributing income in a fair way.

He is scolding Congress for ‘not doing its job’ in ‘redistributing wealth in a fair way’. He’s obviously mistaken America for someplace else. Surely he must be describing some Soviet-Era state with assigned housing and breadlines… not a nation forged in the Spirit of ’76. Right?

You’d like to think so, but you’d be wrong.

The Democrats’ “Long March” toward Socialism (or worse!) is picking up the pace. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. Their buddies in Hollywood are citing Marx at award shows (‘Workers Of The World Unite’) while Senators scold Congress for failing to do their bit in wealth redistribution.”
No, Senator, It Is NOT Congress's Job To 'Redistribute Wealth'

7. Bernie Sanders, Marxist, leader of the Democrat Party, didn’t simply materialize from nothing….as Liberals claim about the origins of the universe….Nope…Bernie is the logical outcome of what the Democrat Party stands for.



The meaning of the term rights, today, represents what the Founders promised, and what the Left claims in will provide. The most important word in the Declaration of Independence is found here:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, …”

The word is ‘secure.’

That means that the most important function of government is to maintain pre-existing rights, not to create them, nor to dispense them. They are known and self-evident prior to the founding of our nation, are inalienable, whether one chooses to use them or not.

These are the rights:

Men are created equal, and enjoy the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.




8. Roosevelt took on a responsibility by government for “one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.”
And claimed a duty of government to raise the ‘standard of living.’


“We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people — whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth — is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.”
“insecure”? Hence, no limit on all the things government will now do.


These are not the rights America promised.


Can you hear Bernie in those words?

Bernie is not a Marxist he is a socialist, a Democratic socialist if you insist as a brainwashed functional moron. Socialism today everywhere but your bubble of Bologna is defined as a always democratic Fair capitalist with a good safety net. Okay, Babylon. LOL. "We are all socialists now!"--president of Finland when ObamaCare passed.

"Bernie is not a Marxist he is a socialist, a Democratic socialist ..."


Yeah, he is.

Always has been, you dope.



1. " [At] the University of Chicago, Sanders joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. He also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

2. ...graduating with a political science degree, Sanders moved to Vermont, where he headed the American People’s History Society, an organ for Marxist propaganda. There, he produced a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed for espionage during the Red Scare and hailed by the Bolsheviks as “America’s greatest Marxist.” Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist | New York Post


a. Eugene Victor Debs, Bernie's paragon: "... Debs agreed with the left wing of the Socialist Party—people like Bill Haywood and Mother Jones, who would help found the Industrial Workers of the World (the 'Wobblies). They advocated workers taking control where the power of the ruling class was rooted—in the factories. ... Within the SP, members had verydifferent ideas about socialism and how it would be achieved. Some believed in socialism as a steady increase in social reforms achieved by socialists being elected to political office—others looked to a revolutionary transformation of society.....

Eventually, those leftists who remained in the SP quit to help form a new Communist Party on the model of what Lenin and the Bolsheviks had built in Russia. Debs, while he supported the Russian Revolution and remained a revolutionary, nonetheless stayed in the SP." Socialism according to Eugene V. Debs


Still imagine there is any great difference between socialists and communists....and Bernie?



3. This subversive hero of Sanders, [Eugene Victor Debs,] denounced even by liberal Democrats as a “traitor,” bashed “the barons of Wall Street” and hailed the “triumphant” Bolshevik revolution in Russia.


“Those Russian comrades of ours have made greater sacrifices, have suffered more, and have shed more heroic blood than any like number of men and women anywhere on Earth,” Debs proclaimed. “They have laid the foundation of the first real democracy that ever drew the breath of life in this world.” Socialism according to Eugene V. Debs


4. "In a 1918 speech in Canton, Ohio, Debs reaffirmed his solidarity with Lenin and Trotsky, despite clear evidence of their violent plunder and treachery. Sanders still hangs a portrait of Debs on the wall in his Senate office." NYPost, Op. Cit.


This Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."
Now about the Democrat Party elite, Bernie Sanders: Communist, Socialist, Liberal, and Progressive


5." ... Sanders helped found the Liberty Union Party, which called for the nationalization of all US banks and the public takeover of all private utility companies. [Before Maxine Waters, too!]

... Sanders in 1981 managed to get elected mayor of Burlington, Vt., where he restricted property rights for landlords, set price controls and raised property taxes to pay for communal land trusts. Local small businesses distributed fliers complaining their new mayor “does not believe in free enterprise.”


6. His radical activities didn’t stop at the water’s edge. Sanders took several “goodwill” trips not only to the USSR, but also to Cuba and Nicaragua, where the Soviets were trying to expand their influence in our hemisphere.

In 1985, he traveled to Managua to celebrate the rise to power of the Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government. He called it a “heroic revolution.” Undermining anti-communist US policy, Sanders denounced the Reagan administration’s backing of the Contra rebels in a letter to the Sandinistas.

How many lessons do you need each day?????


There is hardly 1° of separation between socialism and communism.


Jot this down as a handy reference to understand the only two directions for society.
The Founders, classical liberals, conservatives
a. individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.


Fascists, Nazis, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Communists
b. the collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.


This is why Bernie....and you....fit in all of the Shameful Six.

None of the six totalitarian forms of political plague have the slightest concern for human life: not communism (gulags), not Nazism (concentration camps), not Liberalism (abortion), not Progressivism (eugenics), not socialism (theft), not fascism (murder).

They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.

They all follow Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."



" Franklin Roosevelt had pictured a place where citizens were joined in a collective enterprise ... Reagan pictured a more individualistic America where everyone would flourish once freed from the shackles of the state, and so the watchwords became self-reliance and small government."
The Liberal Crackup


Get it now????

Nay, nay....because this is the land of opportunity, and every individual has a chance at the brass ring.

“…Karl Marx still has something to tell us. Something about the problem he had with America. It didn’t fit with his theories. He said society progressed in stages: first feudalism, then capitalism, then socialism. But in 1852, when he wrote “The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon,” the most advanced capitalist society was that of the United States, and it was nowhere near socialism.

That was a bit of an embarrassment for Marx, but then he had an explanation for what he might have called American Exceptionalism.

There were social classes in America but no class-consciousness because the country was so mobile. Throughout the 20th century, this was the answer sociologists gave to “why it didn’t happen here.” Income mobility explained why we didn’t have a Labor Party as Britain did, why socialism never took hold in the United States.” https://nypost.com/2017/11/03/a-marxist-explanation-for-the-trump-revolution/

Speaking of Socialism- Maxine Waters redux-

Corporate Socialism? Bill Barr's Suggestion That the U.S. Should Buy Nokia or Ericsson To Counter China Is a Terrible Idea.

But by the end of the week, one of the highest-ranking officials in the Trump administration was openly suggesting that America should engage in one of the hallmarks of socialism: a state takeover of a private company.

In a speech last Thursday, Attorney General Bill Barr floated the idea that the United States could purchase a majority stake in tech companies like Sweden-based Ericsson or Finland-based Nokia as a way to counter the growing prominence of China's Huawei as the world's leading provider of fifth generation (5G) mobile internet hardware.

"Putting our large market and financial muscle behind one or both of these firms would make it a more formidable competitor and eliminate concerns over its staying power," Barr said. "We and our closest allies certainly need to be actively considering this approach."

He even wrapped his idea in socialist language, saying that the United States must "act collectively" to stand up to China's rising economic power and technological developments. He might not have been calling for a Marxist-style seize-the-means-of-production uprising, but Barr's pitch for some kind of techno-corporate socialism is still shocking—even by the standards of an administration that has embraced central industrial planning as an anti-China strategy. It was all the more so because it came during in a prepared, formal speech, not as an off-the-cuff remark that later needed to be walked back.

BTW, Socialism is "community" owned and operated- not government. Gov't owned and operated is fascism.
Communism is gov't control by force of everything.
Bernie, and those of his ilk like the label of socialist- it's much more palatable than fascist.
