Whoever’s ears went red. That fart is neoliberalism in a nutshell.

The Conductor Esplin Well China isn’t Communist. That would mean achieving a stateless, moneyless, classless society. They call themselves Communist sure but that’s because supposedly that’s the end goal of their revolution. Truth is Marxist-Leninists usually go State Capitalist instead of post-capitalist. Communism isn’t inherently Statist in itself as it’s an anarchist ideal that requires the abolishment of State. However Marxists do believe in State control of the workers, that is to say a State where the workers rule and govern, to eventually get to Communism. Doesn’t necessarily have to be authoritarian as seen in the Paris Commune it can be very liberal politically. They established a bottom-up worker’s democratic socialist republic. The Marxists-Leninists however are authoritarian in method and advocate single party rule of a supposedly worker’s party and State control. With that said Bernie Sanders is a Social Democrat who isn’t even a real Democratic Socialist despite what he calls himself. He’s not post-Capitalist. He just wants a welfare state like most of Europe has where certain needs are a public matter and capitalism is still very much the economy. Thus a robust middle class. Some of his policy ideas used to be implemented in the FDR New Deal era in America. As for what @abstracttraitorhero is telling you is that America is very right wing economically. Calling social issues left or right is tricky but when it comes to social and cultural issues you’re either progressive or conservative. Believe in greater liberal rights or traditional norms. Government could be involved in protecting or granting greater rights to certain groups or be involved in protecting conservative norms and institutions.

The Conductor Esplin I’m not just any socialist. I’m a Libertarian Socialist we are Anarchists. If you think libertarian socialism is an oxymoron I recommend you look up the history first. Lots of pro capitalists think they invented the term. Socialism comes in many flavors as does capitalism. We have anarchists, Marxists, liberal socialism (real Democratic Socialism), Market Socialists and Marxist-Leninists (authoritarianism). As capitalism has liberal capitalism, State Capitalists, Corporative Fascism, authoritarians like Pinochet etc... Shame you dismiss all Socialism as government control or Statism. It’s annoying as imagine if we measured all capitalism by Fascist Corporatism (as seen in Fascist States of Italy, Germany, Spain) or dictatorships like Pinochet’s. Lot of people are practically indoctrinated to think all Socialism is Marxist-Leninist, not true. Socialism gave birth to the first anti-Statist and anti-authoritarian political ideology, anarchism. In any case rest easy, Bernie Sanders isn’t an actual socialist. He wants Welfarism and isn’t going to get rid of capitalism anytime soon.
