Uh-oh: Silicon Valley is building a Chinese-style social credit system
In China, scoring citizens’ behavior is official government policy. U.S. companies are increasingly doing something similar, outside the law.

But generally even many economic right wingers don't go as far as open borders
They are pragmatic on this issue
Even Bernie knows this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf-k6qOfXz0
Bernie Sanders praised communist Cuba and the Soviet Union in the 1980s

Open borders only really benefits big companies since it just gives them access to cheap labour
It's mostly pushed by Neoliberals like Hillary Clinton than libertarians. But yes, open borders is a theoretical libertarian position, just that not many of the grassroots libertarians support it.
Bernie isn't really super left, so I don't expect him to support a sort of radical position like full on open borders
I'd go as far as to say that he isn't even moderate left
Open borders is not compatible with a soc dem welfare state
And Sanders is a socdem
"Moderately radical"
Bernie Sanders is mainly just a Social Democrat, Not even really an extreme one
US Democrats: Lets have open borders...

"Bernie is a centrist"
Hoo boy
Never said he was a centrist
"I'd go as far as to say that he isn't even moderate left"
🤔
Yes it does
You ruled out far left
You ruled out moderate left
Okay, I'll rephrase it
Centrist and or any sort of right-wing is the remaining options
It would leave some positions like Social Liberalism
My boy mr obvious getting recognition.
Instead of blanket left and right equivalence classes, judging by ideology is more informative
Bernie is a socialist
Done
Open border lgbt leftists.
How about that
Both Neoliberals and Soc Dems are "leftists", one ideology benefits from open borders, the other doesn't
So what if Bernie is a Socialist?
If they’re left, they’re authoritarian and wrong.
Nah, libertarian left is a thing
I don’t care about the nuance of their ideology. They’re just wrong
Ubi and shit
Libertarian is right
Noam Chomsky is a good example
