'Extremely Unfair': Bernie Sanders Denies His Form of Socialism Is the Same as Venezuela's or Cuba's

[Oddball]

And his is different.

No it isn't.....That you believe so marks you as a total rube.

 

[Brain357]

And his is different.

That’s what they all say, then Venezuela

Many countries are doing quite well with what Bernie wants.

That's because Bernie's form of socialism is purely imaginary. In his mind, it actually works. However, Venezuela and Cuba have the real thing on display:

'Extremely Unfair': Sanders Denies His Form of Socialism Is the Same as Venezuela's or Cuba's​

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a Democratic presidential candidate, argued that his support for "democratic socialism" is not the same as the form of socialism that the government has imposed in countries such as Venezuela and Cuba.

Sanders made his comments during the presidential debate on Thursday evening. The senator was asked why he hasn't called Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro a dictator and if his socialist policy proposals are different from the socialist policies in Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

"Anybody who does what Maduro does is a vicious tyrant. What we need now is international and regional cooperation for free elections in Venezuela so that the people of that country can make -- can create their own future. In terms of democratic socialism, to equate what goes on in Venezuela with what I believe is extremely unfair. I'll tell you what I believe in terms of democratic socialism," Sanders said.

"I agree with what goes on in Canada and in Scandinavia, guaranteeing health care to all people as a human right. I believe that the United States should not be the only major country on earth not to provide paid family and medical leave. I believe that every worker in this country deserves a living wage and that we expand the trade union movement," he added.​

The squawking head on PMSNBC just looked directly into the camera and with a straight face said Democrats are not socialists.

You know by Nov 2020 the same head will be claiming Repubs are socialists.

What is trump? He sure is spending like we are socialist.

Can you say that about trump? He’s a big supporter of the socialist giveaway for Foxconn.

Our economic system is nothing like Venezuela. They have an economy based on one product...OIL

Social Programs is not Socialism

 

[Oddball]

And his is different.

No it isn't.....That you believe so marks you as a total rube.

What is trump? He sure is spending like we are socialist.

Trump isn't the issue, Gomer Pyle.

Socialism, properly defined, involves The State owning and operating all industry....Batshit Berine's "democratic socialism" is not socialism, and only but barely democratic.

 

[SAYIT]

That’s what they all say, then Venezuela

Many countries are doing quite well with what Bernie wants.

In your opinion, and both you and Uncle Bernie have the constitutional right to move to any country that is more to your liking.

Buh-bye.

Social Programs is not Socialism

of that i would agree. but when 99.9% of what the dems are doing now are socialism and their programs, we've moved beyond implementing this type of solution where it fits and trying to make us just like the rest in this regard.

all the while saying "but WE will get it right..."

has ANYONE ever really gotten it "right"? this idea of giving shit away?

There are left wing kooks who have somehow become convinced that government is the answer to everything.

There are right wing kooks who have somehow become convinced that government is the problem with everything.

Kooks are best left marginalized in favor of reason and pragmatism.

Not the problem with everything, just the problem in everything that they're involved with.

 

[TRFjr]

Has Bernie introduced a new constitution or something that would change us from a Democratic Republic to a Social state?

Are you worried he do it with an EO?

Obama tried a Coup, and I can't find that in the Constitution

That's funny. Obama was president for 8 years. Never realizing he should be much more worried about the GOP Coup until it was way too late.

yes Canada where you can get locked up for your speech
yes Canadian were you can be put to death when the government decides it isn't going to treat you any longer
yes Canada the land of the free and the just
why don't you just move there and save the rest of us from your socialist crap a political ideology that mass murdered over 140 million and counting

Of course it isn't. They're looking at Canada, Australia, Germany, Norway.

Talk radio has its minions terrified about Venezuela, but that's all just for fun. And ratings.

Venzarai started out as democratic socialism Hugo Chavez was duly elected by the people with 56% of the vote and it took twp decades but from that election we ended up with the tyrannical socialist regime we have today
when you allow a government gain that much power wich socialism requires that power will corrupt
power corrupts that's a given and the only way one can stop corruption is not to allow an entity like a government to hold the kind of power socialism is required to have

Yes, that's what happened there.

And how about the countries I listed? Not so much.
.

Two of the countries you list are less socialist than the United States, according to the Heritage index of economic freedom.

Leftwingers have no clear-cut definition of the thing they claim to believe in.

I'm very glad to see you use the term "less socialist".

And that is my point. This lies along a continuum. We don't jump from where we are to Venezuela.

Where we exist on the continuum should be the conversation, not whether we're either the USA or Venezuela.
