  7. Dara Marc Sasmaz Bernie’s federal government ran programs like Medicare-For-All or Green New Deal calls for a centralization of power and bureaucracy. That’s not decentralization. Not only that but it’s a weak approach as opposing parties can undermine and cut those programs so they aren’t permanent fixtures. The American Progressive movement of the early 20th century was born from scholars that wanted social reforms they learned from their German studies abroad, inspired by the Bismarckian Welfare State that was specifically meant to stifle labor movements and socialist parties. These middle-upper class students took it upon themselves to create this new bureaucratic class devoted to social reform as they saw in Germany. Their heart was in a decent place, but they were just expanding the State. Modern progressives come from different but similar interests. They want social reform, a band aid on capitalism, expansion of the Welfare State, maintaining a society divided by classes, maintaining capitalism, and increasing dependence on government parties and programs controlled by politicians instead of Direct Action and self-autonomous workers association. There’s a reason Benito Mussolini said “You want to know what Fascism is like? It is like your New Deal.” Social Democracy is a branch of liberal corporatism (corporatism meaning the structuring of society by social and industrial/economic interests). It advocates class collaboration not struggle. It advocates labor and business/capital interests collectively bargaining under government mediation. This is the concept of Fascist Corporatism, however more moderate and liberal, whereas Fascism is political Corporatism to the extremes as well as extremely nationalist. Socialists want to achieve the classless society based on mutual aid and individual autonomy. As Orwell said “Socialism is either classless, or it is nothing at all.”
