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

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.​

Sanders is a LIAR. Period. Socialism is what it is.

Sanders is proposing that Government do more for the people than it does for the wealthy

That is social programs not Socialism

Government does virtually nothing for the wealthy.

Lots of talking points, memes and photos regarding "socialism" by the Trumpsters, but precious little detail or definition.

Talk radio doesn't have to get into detail.

It has been defined 10,000 times in this forum. You've been given tons of detail. You simply ignore it, and then claim for the 10,000th time that no one has defined it.

Every time I try to get into detail on this, I get talking points, memes and photos.

It appears that Trumpsters are convinced that there is only America or Venezuela. That's it. No in between. I don't know if these people actually believe this, or if they simply lack the capacity to discuss the issue intelligently.

What Trumpsters refuse to either understand or admit (who knows) is that all of this exists on a continuum. You yourself used the term "more socialist" and I told you I liked that, because it indicated you can perceive that continuum.

It's very clear that most Trumpsters don't share that capacity.
.

Socialism has a 100% failure rate, it’s been tried countless times in countless different forms.
Millions of Americans want nothing to do with it who are you to say they should be forced into the shit?

Against my better judgement, I'll try one more time.

Let's forget the term "socialism" for a moment.

Do you understand that the level of size, cost, depth, power and authority of government exists on a continuum?

Yes or no?
.

I understand you think that the collective knows best. The collective may know best what’s for you but leave the rest of us out of it. Lol

Everyone is in the station of life they deserve, It is solely up to the individual to change that if it’s desired. The collective cannot change that for them, nor does it want to.
True, there is no such thing as an “self-made man” That being said, Failure and lost opportunity are just excuses.

Progressive think their way is the only way every time, which would be fine if they just kept that shit to themselves but they want to force everyone else that does not want that shit into that shit... lol

True, compromise is not the answer... never has been.

When will you progressives realize conservatives don’t want what you’re selling?

He who has the guns makes the rules. The rich get little from the government, moron. Do they need the police? No, they have private security. Do they use public schools? No. They send their kids to private schools. Do they need Social Security? Nope. Medicare? Nope. The vast bulk of government spending goes to people who are poor or middle class.

The leftwing drones can only repeat talking points. That's why they're always chanting "Canada/Sweden/Norway." They've heard these countries are examples of socialism that works, but they haven't got a clue if that's actually true or not.

So if socialism brings snow we don't that. Thanks for the warning.
