self criticism my ass its the lazy assBernie Sanders is a socialist democrat
of course that's a filthy filthy treasonous liberal lie. Socialism was invented by Marx as a stop over on way to communism. (USSR- ever heard of it??)Bush introduced first $2trillion and $3 trillion budgets, Obama is now at $4 trillion plus he took over 20% of economy with Obamacommiecare, and now Sanders wants still way bigger govt. To a liberal swine the govt is never big enough if it is short of communism!!
Now do you understand?
Socialism predates Marx. It is a response to capitalism; it has always been the critical response to capitalism. Socialism has always been capitalism's shadow. The longer we have capitalism, the longer we have socialism, because it is capitalism's self-criticism. It has been generated by capitalism. As capitalism has spread around the world, socialism has spread as well-- a few minutes behind.
This critique of capitalism was called socialism because capitalism was identified with individuals; individuals struggling to make a business, to make a business grow, and gather wealth into their hands. And it created then a gap between individuals who did that, and all the other people who didn't. The employers vs. the employees; Those that gathered the wealth and power into their hands, versus those who didn't.
And as the capitalist system developed, it developed criticism. First, from the victims of the process-- the people who had nothing; the people who had things stolen from them. Second, were the critics who looked at this system and the way it works and said this isn't moral, this isn't ethical, this isn't beautiful, this is something that we as human beings can, and should, do better than.
So these two groups tried to develop an alternative. The alternative they fumbled and bumbled their way too was called socialism.
Why? Because the idea was we shouldn't have a society where the small group of people control the wealth and power, run the industries, and the rest of us depend on them.
Socialist would rather think of society this way: production is a social activity we all participate in. The wealth that is created in a society is based on what we all as human beings do, plus what the earth-- which no human being put their, ables us to have.
It's a social, it's a community activity. And so socialism then meant we should socially organize production, socially decide who gets what, and socially distribute the power amongst ourselves, in a way that we can all seem moral and decent, and fair.
And so the idea was that capitalism is for the few; for the few individuals who inherit the wealth, or steal the wealth, or make the wealth by hard labor-- that too. But who distinguished themselves not by the work they did, or the quality of work they did, but by the wealth they have amassed, the power accumulated-- and that comes at the expense of everyone else.

good for nothings that come along to mooch on the riches of the hard working people..
You have accepted the mythology of the establishment that tells us that most people are lazy and do not work, and--like you said-- are moochers off the hard working people. This is a horrendous lie.
This lie is told in order to keep the vast majority of the people fighting amongst themselves, instead of those at the top of the pyramid.
What's reality? Hard work--for the vast majority of people-- does not equate to riches. The system ensures this. People are laboring, and working 40+ hours a week, multiple jobs, and barely scraping buy.
And we have been taught to believe that the richest people in society are the hardest working. I've been around these people--quite often the opposite is true. Often, they were born into privilege, are they stole the money on Wall Street by fraud and and credit default swaps, derivatives, and insider trading.
Lastly, over the past 35 years-- since the adoption of neoliberal policies by Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama, there has been a dramatic and undeniable, and purposeful transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class, to the top 10% (largest percentage increases in wealth has been as been at top 1%).
The wealthiest and powerful have been waging this class war against 90+% of the population for decades, and they feed us with distractions and diversions to keep us from uniting.
Let's come together.
