I have to leave now, we can continue discussing this at a later time. However I'll finish on the note that anyone who leans National Socialist shouldn't take issue with centrist economic policies.

2017-03-29 17:57:23 UTC  

Bernie Sanders' policies are center-left in practice. Not really that radical.

2017-03-29 17:57:37 UTC  

and hmmmm... i really wonder who pushes student loans... really makes me think 🤔

2017-03-29 17:59:56 UTC  

and no they aren't, they are far left

2017-03-29 18:00:34 UTC  

Trump's policies are center, the argument for both center right and center left can be made

2017-03-29 18:00:44 UTC  

economically speaking

>socializing schools

2017-03-29 18:01:01 UTC  

Socialism is far left. What Bernie Sanders actually proposes (free college, healthcare, raising marginal income tax rates) isn't even socialist.

2017-03-29 18:01:54 UTC  

Yes. Those things are center-left.

2017-03-29 18:02:30 UTC  

this is degenerate

2017-03-29 18:02:38 UTC  

Unless you think European countries, even ones like Sweden, are literally Socialist. Hint: they're not.

2017-03-29 18:02:42 UTC  

they are

2017-03-29 18:02:45 UTC  

first off

2017-03-29 18:02:53 UTC  

If you think the US isn't already socialist, they are

2017-03-29 18:02:57 UTC  

we are*

Sweden is not a Socialist state

2017-03-29 18:03:20 UTC  

No they aren't. Read the Wikipedia article on socialism if you aren't quite sure what it entails.

2017-03-29 18:03:34 UTC  

>means haven't been siezed

2017-03-29 18:03:40 UTC  

therefore not socialist

2017-03-29 18:03:50 UTC  

@Iamawesom That's communism, actually.

2017-03-29 18:03:59 UTC  

i know exactly what socialism is, if youre using the term """democratic socialists""" terms, we are socialist, if you use the term as Karl Marx intended it to be used, we aren't

2017-03-29 18:04:06 UTC  

Well Socialism is just communism lite

2017-03-29 18:04:27 UTC  

also "to each according to his contributions" is the Socialist model

2017-03-29 18:04:30 UTC  

Socialism is means to an end (that end being communism).

2017-03-29 18:04:40 UTC  

exactly

2017-03-29 18:05:01 UTC  

and what do you think the end goal of socializing institutions that take up a large portion of the economy is, exactly?

2017-03-29 18:05:23 UTC  

Democratic Socialism is a different flavor of Socialism. Sweden is a Social Democracy

2017-03-29 18:05:27 UTC  

aka a welfare state
