  1. Hartmann, I liked your narrative and justification for a “little” socialism; it certainly appeared to come from the heart. But if you persist in selling people like Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton to your audience and promoting fake progressive institutions like the Congressional Progressive Caucus and its members, the only socialism you will see is socialism for the oligarchs. Maybe you could recommend that the Neoliberal policies Bill Clinton pushed through as a “New Democrat” and being funded by the Kochs is repealed for a start. By reversing Bill’s NAFTA, the destruction of social security, and the deregulation of Wall Street, you are not even close to socialism but it’s a start. Even with these simple steps, all you are doing is reversing the betrayal of the People by Democratic Party and the Corporate Democrats. If you have time, maybe you should read a little about the Gore and Clinton “Democratic Leadership Council”. https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Al_From This institution funded by the Kochs and other oligarchs and corporations is still used to push Corporate Democrat policy today. This “Third Way” Democratic institution filled with “New Democrats” was designed to deliver the progressive remnants of the Democratic Party to Wall Street. Thanks to the efforts of Clinton, Gore and Lieberman and a little funding from the oligarchs (e.g. Kochs), the Democratic Leadership Council has been one of the more effective oligarch controlled institutions that have screwed the American people. To understand this in more detail, maybe you should read Ralph Nader’s article describing the DLC as the “The Corporatist Democratic Leadership Council”: http://dissidentvoice.org/Articles7/Nader_DLC.htm
