Van Jones: ‘Unbelievable’ Bernie ‘Failed’ to Reject Soviet-style Socialism
« on: February 26, 2020, 02:47:30 pm »
Pam Key 25 Feb 2020

CNN political commentator and former Obama adviser Van Jones during his network’s post-Democratic presidential debate wrap-up acknowledged he was disappointed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) did not reject “authoritarian” socialism during the debate.

Jones said, “I was disappointed with Bernie’s answer on the socialism question. He had to know it was coming. There’s no reason to do a big retrospective, nostalgia, scream fest about authoritarian regimes from the 70s. It was an opportunity for Bernie to clarify to the people when he says Democratic Socialism that’s the point. It’s not that stuff from Cuba. It’s not that stuff from the Soviet Union. It’s the stuff in Northern Europe that’s working for normal people.”

He added, “He failed to do it. It’s unbelievable he failed to do that. It is what a big chunk of our party needed to hear from him. He didn’t do it tonight. ”

One Communist upset with another Communist for not disavowing Communism.

Why would Sanders disavow the system that he advocates?

That is Matthews, Jones, Carville and other voices, warning that Sanders is outside the mainstream of even the current democrat party.

I have said for a long time they are heading for 1968, 1972, 1980, 1984.

GOP=Law and Order, and Silent Majority.

Once Sanders has the nomination locked up, all those same people will be telling us how reasonable Sanders is and how much we'll love socialism/communism once we get a taste of it.

What Sanders is proposing is more radical and generous than what the Europeans have

Plus the Euros pay for their own benefits, mostly through VAT (how long until a 20-25% VAT is recognized as the only feasible funding mechanism here?) and none are offering a free ride for unlimited illegals like Bernie wants.

Sweden is facing the same issues we are with an aging population. However, Sweden’s future is bleak because they are importing people who want to turn it from a secular, homogenous society into an Islamic state

Socialist?
Capitalist?
Something in between?

In Sweden, none of this will make any difference, insofar as Sweden's future is concerned.

Because that "future" is... islamic.
