Your entire shitty party is not only full of fascists, open WNs, and WSs, and you’re trying to force it on the rest of us.

You’re a stupid, willing part of it.

No “socialist” has every done so in this country. You guys have been doing it for centuries.

Bernie Sanders is not representative of the failed Soviet version of hard socialism. He does not advocate government seizure of the means of production (Marx), or a dictatorship of the proletariat (Lenin). His idea of socialism is somewhat to the right of the Scandinavian version and only slightly to the left of the British version.

Were he to miraculously become king of the United States, the changes would be minor at best, and you'd probably not notice them. Maybe billionaires might have to pay their fair share in taxes, like they did right after WWII in the US. Somehow I doubt that would have us all slaving away on collective farms or working double shifts for government-mandated paltry wages in ancient tractor factories.

If there are no Republicans who are fascists, there are certainly Republicans who are fascist-curious.

Donald and the adulation he receives have hallmarks of fascism.

Good point, even though there is not a single socialist in the D party holding office at the federal level, but IF THERE WAS they would still be vastly more human, humane, decent and honest than ANY con.
I sigh in your general direction.

Even if there ever was, this commiebaiter can cry me an ocean.

No "socialist" or "communist" or "pinko" or "SJW" or "woke" or "politically correct" or "CRT" or whatever has EVER done to the people of this country what conservative whites have...for the past 400 years. Or what they're attempting to impose on everyone, today.

Not a one.

To be a socialist you have to want to nationalize industry. He has never said he would do that, he is a democratic socialist. BIG difference, but these assholes know that, and if they dont...sigh Childish people who are afraid of that word socialism.


ps

We are ALL Democratic socialists, unless con asshole wants to give up our infrastructure and SS and Medicare.

THIS is why we cant have nice things, that we even have to discuss this...sigh

And approx 60% of the GOP is admitted fascists

Hi, Commiebaiter.

You still have 14 outstanding requests for links.

Link, please.

Why are you asking for links when you don't/can't even provide them, yourself?

If all liberals are socialists, why is there only one Bernie. Even he's really a social democrat, but in the Overton Window of American politics, he calls himself a socialist. As for the Squad, well, IMHO they are not socialists, but there's only four of them.

I can tell you the Freedumb Caucus of Tea Partiers and QPublicans is much larger (10x as many members), and yes I do think it is fair to call Trump and many MAGA followers "fascist lite"..... just as I would some of the people they adore, like the new Italian PM Meloni, or Marine Le Pen, Erdogan, or Viktor Orban. which tells you about the U.S.' Overton Window.

In any case, socialism is still not communism, the French Socialist Party is not trying to turn France into a totalitarian dictatorship of the proletariat.

I think the U.S. Communist Party still meets in Gus Hall's garage, sitting around staring adoringly at pictures of Josef Stalin and Mao. :roll:

Glenn doesn’t even know what socialism is. He just parrots RW propaganda. Dumb conservatives often mix socialism and communism together, or throw the word Marxist in there for good measure. And hey, Trump was just at another rally calling the Dems full on communists. It’s all part of the fear and bullshit campaign. What’s hilarious about Trump, is he fully admires the “former” KGB guy in Russia, as well as the leaders of NoKo and China, who he constantly praises and states he gets along with better than leaders of the free world.

Glenn also said he’d knock that stuff off but once again he’s back with the commie baiting because he’s upset that fascism is being pointed out and called out.

The fact is, all strong democracies work on a hybrid of social policies and capitalism. Liberals are not anti capitalism. No one here, that I’ve seen, is anti capitalism.

And talk about “socialism.” Conservatives sure have no problem with corporations getting massive government handouts. Stealing PPE funds. Or farmers receiving billions and billions from Trump for his tariff gift to China. Or blaming liberals for corporations’ price gouging, when they’ve always stated the government needs to keep its nose out of business.

Even Bernie does not call himself a "socialist."

14 things Bernie Sanders has said about socialism


“I myself don’t use the word socialism,” he said in 1976 in the Vermont Cynic, a student publication at the University of Vermont, “because people have been brainwashed into thinking socialism automatically means slave-labor camps, dictatorship and lack of freedom of speech.”
“I’ve stayed away from calling myself a socialist,” Sanders said in the Boston Globe in the aftermath of his win in ‘81, “because I did not want to spend half my life explaining that I did not believe in the Soviet Union or in concentration camps.”

Two months later, in the Boston Phoenix, he said he didn’t want to be “a spokesman for socialism.”

But they're not fascists, though. :roll:

Thousands commemorate Italy’s fascist dictator at crypt
Black-clad fascist sympathizers chanted and sang in praise of Benito Mussolini.
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/10/3 ... m-00064140

PREDAPPIO, Italy — Several thousand black-clad fascist sympathizers chanted and sang in praise of Benito Mussolini as they marched to the slain Italian dictator’s crypt Sunday, 100 years after Mussolini entered Rome and completed a bloodless coup that gave rise to two decades of fascist rule.

The crowd of some 2,000 to 4,000 marchers, many sporting fascist symbols and singing hymns from Italy’s colonial era, was more numerous than in the recent past, as the fascist nostalgics celebrated the centenary of the March on Rome. On Oct 28, 1922, black-shirted fascists entered the Italian capital, launching a putsch that culminated two days later when Italy’s king handed Mussolini the mandate to start a new government.

Italy's Meloni picks Nazi-armband lawmaker as junior minister
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/it ... 022-10-31/

ROME, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Galeazzo Bignami, a lawmaker of the rightist Brothers of Italy party who sparked outrage in 2016 after a newspaper published a picture of him wearing a Nazi swastika on his left arm, was named junior infrastructure minister on Monday.

Conservatives in this country never had mass firings of fascists in multiple sectors, mass-loyalty oaths targeting liberals and people with Jewish last names in academia, HUACs and Senate Committees to root out fascists, or targeting of fascists with blacklists.

Why would they.

They did, however, bring in Nazi scientists right after WW2 until 1959 to beef up our own science and technology. :problem:

Red-baiting, cold-war baiting, and propping up eugenicist "scholarship" the entire time.

A very low key lifelong friend of mine who usually thinks I'm overstating things but he never says it to me but I know he does haha, today when I told him the plan that the Republicans are going to say all votes counted after Election Day are fraudulent, this was his response:
It will likely get ugly, so sad for our country, the maga party are fascist, their platform will be one white supremacy 2 guns three Christian nationalism c

Fearless leader will tell us what is true what is factual what is legal I fear for our children and grandchildren
