      Old Man Strength: Your sentence smacks of demagoguery because it appeals solely to the emotions without stating the whys for your belief. Conversations about the economy and opinions on how to improve it (making it just and effective for the great majority, etc.) have been going on for thousands of years. Conversing to learn and/or inspire and/or to bring about positive change are ALWAYS worthwhile. If anything makes us closer to "ruin or worse" is, first, not having this conversation and, second, not doing anything to reverse the downward trend of how wealth is distributed and used (not to mention other issues, climate for instance).

      lazurm very well written and thoughtful reply. My concern is not particularly profound or original; that is communism is generally a destructive form of governance. There is no perfect form of government in a world full of entropy and sin. It just seems to me that capitalism has a far superior record on elevating suffering. Putting power in the hands of a party or officials with martial powers is unsettling. The country which embraced liberty above comfort or safety is now considering the reverse

      @@irone93 I'd agree with you almost totally except that Sanders isn't a communist; he's a democratic socialist. This is an extremely decisive difference and one too often not understood by a majority of U.S. voters. I'd be willing to bet that the major issues he often refers to would find agreement with the great majority of Americans. This isn't the venue to properly detail what I'm getting at but I'd urge you to read or hear what he actually states (his current home page would probably do).
      I don't think Bernie's problem is his policy ideas and his observations of how U.S. capitalism actually works but, rather, his total devotion to his ideals, total to the point of finding difficulty in making the kind of compromises he'd have to make at this point in history. He's also not very warm, or more accurately, personable in one on one conversations, something that results demand in a politician because people are, after all, mostly emotional and not highly logical in their choices...or in their preferences for legislation.
      For now, the U.S. will have to settle for if he may influence (hopefully) where we must go to improve the lives of average Americans. He's already done that, though there's a lot of work yet to be done. One small example is the current push for a "living wage" for all workers and there are several other issues finally inspired to action, by Bernie S.

He is even publicly stated that bread lines are a good thing. And to put that phrase in context for you to understand. That means he believes in food scarcity and keeping everyone universally hungry. Living off of minimum amounts of food that they have to wait on every day in a line sometimes for hours at a time. And every time people escape these countries they all pretty much say the exact same thing. But when they do neoliberals and neo progressives decide to come out and be like I'm sorry your experience isn't valid you should listen to me a white champagne socialist who is just jealous they're not a millionaire.

Anyone actually bitching about the homes he owns is a lazy idiot who can't be assed to actually fact check and do some research behind the reality of the situation. Not to mention he is tied to a mortgage on all of them except the one that Jane paid for.

If there is not a demand, then either the company will stop producing it and produce something else, or the company will cease to exist.

      Ken P Many Americans die every year from not being able to afford healthcare and have a much lower life expectancy than many countries with free healthcare. The main difference is healthcare goes first to the rich than trickles down. Generally speaking, healthcare is 10% of GDP in America. It's 20% of GDP. Health care for all is undoubtedly a system that should be free for all. Health care for all was also first enacted by Nazi Germany, one of the most right-wing governments in all of history.

Also, under authoritarian rule there is of course the possibility that they could take their stuff, but that’s not because there was a written rule (there was literally a dictator in power). And, to say that Fascism is anywhere near Communism is blatantly false. Communism is the ideology of being prideful of the common worker regardless of nationality while Fascism directly appeals to the downtrodden in a society who are prideful in their nation. To say that Nazi Germany was anywhere near communism is just incorrect. And, to be fair, they had a bustling economy that nearly conquered the world just a few years after having everything stripped from them. To call them a welfare-nanny state doesn’t do it much justice either.

    Frederic Bastiat, The Law
    1850:
    “Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.”
    “If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?”
    “The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else.”

    • @reecealeck8314

      Hans - Capitalism is a profit and loss system. Economics is the allocation of scarce resources which have alternative uses. In socialism-communism a small group of people (try) to allocate the resources and in Capitalism, being a profit and loss system, prices allocates those scarce resources through its democratic form of economics.When prices go up it tells the economy that it needs more of that thing and when prices go down it tells the economy that it needs less of that certain thing.

      Hans let me reframe that -This is why pure Socialists economies collapse so quickly. Socialist leaders have no clue what they're doing. Literally.
      To the degree that Socialist policies are shackled onto a market economy (like the U.S.) the economy erodes and falls apart. It's a slippery slope into chaos.
      ‼️In a pure Socialist economy, there is only one owner of land, labor and capital -- the Government.‼️
      When government is the only owner, there can be no trade.
      Without trade, there can be no market prices.
      Without market prices, there can be no profits and losses.
      Without profits and losses, there is no rational way to know how and where land, labor and capital should be allocated. There's no way to know what should be produced and what production should be stopped.

      When fanasocos are lossing an argument they start spewing out the exact Yang gang bullshit like robots your so called “mixture of socialism and communism is fascism/Nazism- which is basically socialism with the mask of Capitalism.
      Government control in the marketplace stands in sharp contrast with a completely free market. In the last century or so there have been basically 4 forms of state controlled economies.Fascism, Nazism, socialism and communism. In each, the government controls the capital. The difference among these is how much is owned or controlled outright by the government. (The USA is fascist period) the core to capitalism is prices.It is fascist with the mask of capitalism.it is everything u ever wanted, your Yang gang garbage. Once a country intrudes fascist systems like Obama care etc. and the Federal reserve with Fanny May and Freddy mac, it creates a ripple effect in the economy. Money is a a tool of measurement in the economy, once you mess with the money it’s like trying to build a house with a measuring tape that changes day by day, the house will fall apart.

    First of all, there's a big difference between socialism vs *democratic* socialism, and Bernie has repeated over and over that he is a *democratic* socialist. The key difference between the two is is that *democratic* socialists don't want the government to own the means of production and socialists do. They believe that certain general social goods like health care should be run by the government, but otherwise support capitalism. Democratic socialist countries like Canada, Denmark, UK, Germany, and others have been thriving, while pure socialist countries like Nicaragua are depressing. All I can say is our current extreme capitalist society is failing the majority of Americans, and we need change now. Nicaragua looks like heaven compared to many US areas, so Capitalism shouldn't be parading on a high horse either.
