I'm getting the message across to a few people anyway 4 likes so that's all that matters. Wsws firmly plants it's roots in the working class and is written in an objective materialist manner, it's not for everyone as it takes time to get rid of the ruling ideology: bourgeois and Petty bourgeois thoughts which are hammered into peoples heads through the media and society telling you what's acceptable limits of what you can think. Naom Chomsky who I don't often refer to because he's petty bourgeois pseudo left but he does come up with some interesting thoughts said basically that the scope of what you're allowed to talk about is very narrow in society you can have lively debate within those confines but people that go outside that will me scorned at.

The reds and the radical right are afraid of Bernie so they are busy trying to slander him.

purists. pure garbage. funny: russian trolls used to "support" bernie. now they try to divide us by being against him (except those trying to divide us by still being for him). he's just a senator doing his job. ocasio-cortez will do hers just fine. you can make shit up about them all you want but it's still shit.

I don't think you are going to see a "pure" socialist agenda here in the US. I like Bernie, AOC and some of the other politicians that have been recently elected, and they seem to be rattling some cages in DC. Whether that will translate into legislation is another story. The monies that Corporation, Unions and other special interests pay to lobby our representative virtually insures that the values of the "New Coalition Democrats" will be planted firmly with their elite donors(by no stretch of the imagination was FDR 'bourgeois', he was son of an elite family).
"Pure Socialism" is a fantasy with has created more harm than good historically. Capitalism is a force, that needs to be harnessed and rehabilitated. Perhaps along the line of some of Elizabeth Warren's proposals such making corporations adopt a socially responsible vision in their mission statements, giving workers a role in the directorship of the company. Her anti-corruption proposal and her idea for the government to act as competition to drug companies in the generic part of the drug productions business are all great ideas. I don't think she can win as a presidential candidate, she screwed her self up with the DNA test but she also come off as abrasive which, and for no good reason, I don't think comes off well on her. Her ideas are sharp, capitalistic and they need to be discussed.

Seriously I read that article and maybe it was good enough for Wikipedia but I don’t even think that a political science professor in Mississippi would teach that shit.

And yes FDR wasn’t a socialist democrat but leading into the 1920’s after the Bolshevik uprising in Russia and the creation of the communist party and their labor unions any politician in our country who considered themselves as being a socialist either changed or was voted out.

So no FDR wouldn’t have declared himself to be one but the ideals and practices are what saved this country from the point of no return.

And as far as the plans that Bernie Sanders and other progressives ( like myself ) are pushing can be achieved if we were to cut down on corporate welfare and our gargantuan military budget.
But if you want we could legalize marijuana and use the taxable proceeds to help for a good part of it.

But the $15 an hour thing did actually come from an article in the parade magazine in regards to how Australia actually sat down and developed a plan to raise their minimum wage to $20aud over a ten year period. But Americans do what Americans do best and that’s take 1/2 information and make a full case out of it. And if we were to stop being the fucking idiots that we are we to could figure a way to possibly achieve a higher working wage for everyone.

But that might result in a sense of social equality and fewer inmates and how we going to look after that huh? Anyway thanks for the propaganda read and good luck with that.

Good luck with that..... I'll stick with these progressives who can actually make a change....Anybody can be nitpicked if you dig deep enough

Another troll pretending to be a freethinker on this site.

And what??
