This has got WHAT to do with DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM. I think you need to go look at Democratic Socialist nations in Europe...not even CLOSE to Communist. Course anyone who quotes Hayek and thinks Democratic Socialism is communism is a moron not worthy of living.
You never have to wait long for a socialists to show their true totalitarian colors. In the same breath they try to separate themselves from the bloody horrors of communism, they deem
not worthy of living anyone who doesn't march lockstep with their failed ideology.
Right behind all that free stuff are Stalin's gulags or Che's firing squads. Their system has never worked and can never work. It can only be forced on the masses for the power and enrichment of their elites.
I've listened to Bernie. I can see why he appeals to a certain
mindset. His platitudes are empty. Losers and parasites hear him talk about free stuff. Productive people hear a thief bragging how he's going to rob the makers to pay off the voting takers. It's an old game and it's entertaining as all get out watching how many dupes lap up his pap.
