heres how I see it
trump = racist fascist
hilary = lel money monger
bernie = socialist extremist
I still tilt to the left
Only in America would Bernie be considered a "socialist extremist"
I wouldn't say social extremist..
Because ultimately social welfare has very little impact on society and the way it organizes.
Our pyramid system will always be in place as long as the people sitting in the chair remain human..
Humans do not have the processing capacity to be totally objective, especially with respect to large data sets, that of entire nations.
Therefore a human leader relies on short hand rules.. These rules are responsible for the necessary subjugation of the majority.. Otherwise there can be-not ubiquitous decision..
Now, what bernie is, is a nice guy.. wants all the right things for people..
But he is an optimist to a fault, and does not really care about balance of power.
He intends to RULE the capitalists. Thereby granting all the wishes of the populace.. That won't happen.. All he'll achieve with his economic policies which cripple capitalists is empower the current government so much, that politicians will make EVEN SLOWER progress in advancing society..
Big government is a problem, because it's BIG, not because the people in it are inherently bad..
In Large governments, NO ONE wants to take responsibility when something go south, but if we step back, in Every endeavor, there's that risk of failure. SO the tried and true way of HOLDING the job, is to sit and do nothing... poach credit where possible.. then finally Continue to sit and do nothing...
The capitalists don't have that option, because they can't collect taxes, and their survival depends on fulfilling desires of their clients, and the risk for them to do nothing is much too high..
We need them both, which is why there needs to be a balance in their ability to influence each other..
Under Bernie, the reign is too tight.
