He's a socialist

He's a Social Democrat.

Not a Socialist

Hes for Welfare Capitalism, not Socialism.

he's a social democrat because it's more palatable to the American public

He may claim to be a Socialist, but it's only in name.

Much like how the Nazis Appropriated the Term.

he claims to be a social democrat, I'm saying he's a fucking liar. He's a full blown socialist

the rhetoric that bernie sanders has is not at all right wing

They may claim to be Socialist, but in reality, it's only in name.

GG @Deleted User, you just advanced to level 4!

@qwasi No he's not

regardless of whether or not he's a genuine socialist, his political ideology is very much on the left

If he was a Socialist, he would be for the Destruction of Capitalism.

If he could call himself a socialist and still get elected, I believe he would

I think he is, he just doesn't say so

because he's a politician

Once again, if we're going by traditional Political Boundaries, he's more in the center, on the border between right and left.

yeah I agree if you take him at face value he's more in the center

Not on the Left Necessarily.

but I'm saying he's a fucking liar

Ah, so you think he's some kind of Necro-Socialist?

*Bernie, the Secret Commie*

I think he's a loser that's never had a real job in his life and knows how his bread gets buttered

I hope man, I hope.

In terms of his stance on economics he is on the left

Yeah, you're probably right.

@Cobra Commander How? He's still Pro-Capitalist.

That's a Right-Wing Thing, not a Left Wing thing.

in what regards is his rhetoric pro capitalist exactly?

He's the type to say, "Well, Capitalism sucks, but we can make it better by giving people more Welfare, Free College, and Healthcare, bam, problem solved!"

but he also praises Castro and says Venezuela is where the real American dream can be had

(which is why I called him an idiot)

Venezuela isn't Socialist, and I need a source for Castro.

Just Google it, it's pops up easy

Kk, brb

there's even a youtube video

it's NEVER real socialism or communism

lol

Bernie has also expressed his support for the people to own more of the means of production, that is very much socialism

because socialism is an unattainable dream
