Why Bernie Wins in One Word: Class

[georgephillip]

The democrats are so desperate for class warfare and so frustrated that Americans aren’t interested in it.

A hundred years ago more Americans were aware of the class war than we are today.

Eventually, capitalism will destroy itself, and socialism will be there to bury it once and for all.

Now you want to pretend a billionaires wife qualifies as an authority of socialism or economics?

"Salma Hayek is happily married to billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault and has a few words for people who have a problem with that..."

Salma Hayek Says People ‘Shocked’ By Her Marriage To Billionaire Is ‘Another Way Of Showing Racism’

It's a joke, you fucking dullard.

More broken windows....Gubmint has no money of their own, therefore "gubmint spending" comes from the pockets of the productive, who would have spent, saved, invested, or given away those funds themselves.

Government creates money, Moron. It also provides all the infrastructure capitalists require to "earn" their vast fortunes. Without "Gubment" you and brain-dead Koch-suckers like Stossel would be whining about a lack of law and order.

He did no such thing.

Sure, he did.
Otherwise Democrats and Republicans would be as extinct as Whigs.

How FDR Saved Capitalism

"How FDR Saved Capitalism
by Seymour Martin Lipset, Gary Marks
Tuesday, January 30, 2001

"With the coming of the Great Depression in the 1930s, a sharp increase in protest and anticapitalist sentiment threatened to undermine the existing political system and create new political parties.

"The findings of diverse opinion polls, as well as the electoral support given to local radical, progressive, and prolabor candidates, indicate that a large minority of Americans were ready to back social democratic proposals.

"It is significant, then, that even with the growth of class consciousness in America, no national third party was able to break the duopoly of the Democratic and Republican Parties.

"Radicals who operated within the two-party system were often able to achieve local victories, but these accomplishments never culminated in the creation of a sustainable third party or left-wing ideological movement.

"The thirties dramatically demonstrated not only the power of America’s coalitional two-party system to dissuade a national third party but also the deeply antistatist, individualistic character of its electorate."

The scumbag fdr not only forced the US in a direction it was never designed for, but the racist would-be dictator threatened our republic on the most fundamental level.

Are you disappointed FDR didn't possess the same fundamentals as Mussolini, Hitler, and Jim Crow?

Capitalism was born from slavery and it will die from fascism.

"The French Revolution of 1789 was pivotal and its impact has only increased over the world.

"From this revolution arose both liberal capitalism and the Left.

"They went hand-in-hand."

The Corporatist Answer

Joe Biden Is the Forrest Gump of the Democratic Party’s Rightward Turn

"From crime to privatization to Wall Street, the story of Joe Biden’s career has been the story of the Democratic Party’s forty-year-long right turn. Every step of the way, he was there urging the party to push the rightward shift even further."

That's why the Cuban economy is better than our economy, eh comrade?

 

[georgephillip]

First, let's talk about 70+ years of Communist failure and why you think that would work here.
No booms and busts was awesome, right?

There were a few loud BOOMS, remember?

"The Soviet Union took part in World War II from 1941 until the war's end in 1945.

"At the start of the war, the Soviet Union suffered loss of valuable lands with economic and agricultural potential, great industrial losses and human casualties.

"This was all caused by the invasion of the Soviet Union by Axis forces in Operation Barbarossa and it resulted in a rapid decline in industrial and agricultural production.

"This required the country's leadership to take urgent measures to strengthen the nations economy, with a primary focus on the defense industries."

Too bad capitalists weren't in charge in Russia; they would have simply accepted Hitler's hostile takeover.

"These proposals have proved enormously popular,

Clueless idiots are dumb.
They support lots of stupid shit.
Like communism.​

Your link:

"Billionaires who attended the World Economic Forum in Davos last month may be weary of the wave of proposals to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

"A Wall Street Journal editorial called them 'crippling.'

"Economist Tyler Cowen, writing in Bloomberg, suggested that, if implemented, Democratic Rep.

"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s proposal that Americans with incomes over $10 million should be taxed at a 70 percent rate would help re-elect Trump.

"New polls, however, suggest that Trump’s opponents might want to pay closer attention to such proposals.

"As Ben White writes in Politico on Monday, 'polling suggests that when it comes to soaking the rich, the American public is increasingly on board.'"

Maybe you wouldn't have these problems in Moscow, Kulak?

 

[airplanemechanic]

He talks about hating the rich and he's worth millions and millions of dollars.

He's a fucking bald headed hypocrite socialist and nothing more.

Household debt is $1 trillion higher than in 2008?
Panic?
GDP is $7 trillion higher than in Q1 2008

How's student debt?

"At the end of the first three months of 2019, student loan debt hit $1.486 trillion, according to credit data from the New York Federal Reserve.

"By comparison, student loan at the height of the financial crisis was $611 billion and has been mostly rising since..."

U.S. consumer debt is now above levels hit during the 2008 financial crisis

What an absolute disastrous week for Bernie !
Holy shit, it could hardly be worse.

Michigan isn't looking too good for him.
Bernie had one of his biggest wins there in 2016, but that isn't looking too likely this year.

Was their economy awesome before 1941?
Was their economy awesome after 1945?
Show me.

"This was all caused by the invasion of the Soviet Union by Axis forces

Their former ally you mean.

"This required the country's leadership to take urgent measures to strengthen the nations economy,

You mean the leaders that had already fucked up their nations economy.

Too bad capitalists weren't in charge in Russia;

It is too bad. Russia wouldn't be such a shithole.
