So Vox is reporting on some people who think are concerned about Sander's "socialism".[1]
Bernie Sanders Is Not A Socialist, No Matter How Many Times He Call Himself That
Socialism, especially in America is not what Sander's alludes to the whole I give a fuck about the people thing. Socialism, especially the one that has failed is "any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods"[2]. Now you look at Sander's policies they never call for collectivizing the economy or nationalization of companies, at best his policies get rid of some such as the Healthcare Insurance Sector [3]. Sanders should really go around calling himself a Social Democrat(totally not the title for this blog). So let's stop trying to commie-scare people for someone who is objectively not a communist or socialist in the economic sense.
Social Democracy, Sounds Pretty Shit To Me
Well even though Bernie is not a socialist, I still haven't addressed the central premise of these activists, that Sander's policies and ideology leads to shitty governments and bad lives for the people. Well lets look at the standard of living in different countries, lets consider for instance that the USA ranks worse on standard of living, than fucking France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Austria, Ireland, New Zealand, Iceland, The UK, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Denmark, Canada, Finland[4]. It's almost like we should have system where our massive economy, one which is over 18 trillion dollars large[5], should serve all the people rather than just the elite, just a thought.
