1. Wonder what Democratic Socialism is?

Democratic socialists argue that capitalism is inherently incompatible with the values of freedom, equality and solidarity and that these ideals can only be achieved through the realization of a socialist society.
2. Democratic socialists believe the fundamental issues with capitalism are systemic in nature and can only be resolved by replacing the capitalist mode of production with that of socialism, i.e. by replacing private ownership with collective ownership of the means of
3. production and extending democracy to the economic sphere. @BernieSanders has no business at the top of our ticket and we should use the rules of our convention to defeat him. @MikeBloomberg @JoeBiden @PeteButtigieg @amyklobuchar @ewarren @TomSteyer

1. Why am I going after @BernieSanders? I caucused for him in March 2016. Later, I spotted the Russians helping him and by July 2016 I posted what I saw. See my pinned Tweet. I never believed that Sanders and Manafort's partner Devine didn't know. They had to know if I did.
2. Then last week Sanders admitted he knew for the month he was moving up in the polls that the Russians were working to help him AGAIN and AGAIN he kept his mouth shut while they did their work. Fool me once. . . @JoeBiden @MikeBloomberg @PeteButtigieg @amyklobuchar
3. Our election has already been influenced by criminal foreign intelligence conspiracy. We can't afford to have zombie candidates elect a Russian asset. We appreciate the work and the policy focus of the folks who ran in @TheDemocrats nomination but only Biden and Bloomberg are

1. Do you think a person who has run as an "anti-capitalist" can win the US presidency? Here is Bernard Sanders as the Liberty Union Party candidate in 1972. Boston Globe Wednesday September 13, 1972, page 23.
2. Here is the wiki on @SenSanders party. It's Democratic Socialism that seeks the end of capitalism. This will make McGovern look like a democratic win. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_U…
@SenSanders 3. What the current progressives don't seem to comprehend is for @theDemocrats to win and have any chance of advancing in Congress we have to get moderate independents. We die-hard Democrats may vote for Bernie but that critical electorate won't in numbers high enough to save us.

1. The unions should chill out on @SenSanders taking their health care. Democratic Socialists want to take away your employer too. Under Democratic Socialism the workers own the factory. Welcome to the revolution. @SCSEA803 @AFLCIO
2. The foundation of this version of socialist thought came from Marxists who didn't subscribe to the Leninist authoritarianism but it still seeks worker ownership of the means of production. That's pretty extreme IMO and I don't think voters understand. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrati…
3. Did Bernie ever write an article about what he views Democratic Socialism to mean? Pretty sure this isn't a European liberal democracy safety net. This is way out there. @chrislhayes you still think we don't get smoked? 😎@JoeBiden @MikeBloomberg @PeteButtigieg @ewarren

*Mental health thread*

At least 1 in 4 of us are suffering with mental health illnesses.

We are all human and we do not know what trouble the human beside us is facing.

🙏 CHOOSE to listen, support, be kind & fair.

Your hello and smile may be what gives someone strength.
The thing about mental health is that it can seriously affect how we see things, how we perceive ourselves and others around us.

Negative thoughts of failure or self-criticism or loss of confidence being wrongly reinforced by how others treat us can affect how we feel.
Eventually it can all become overwhelming.

One can feel that they can no longer cope.

Choose not to be the person who takes away someone’s sense of security, self belief, sense of achievement or confidence.

A thread of my reactions to @Leigh_Phillips attack on degrowth in his @_ourEconomy article. #degrowth #postgrowth #ecologicaleconomics #Socialism
It is an example of the way pro-growth socialist environmentalism often dresses up social democratic & capitalist ideas in radical rhetoric. Most of the logic undermines socialism as much as degrowth.
For example Phillips argues that CFCs got regulated away, and we didn't have to give up hairspray. For him, this is an example of how regulating markets can lead to absolute decoupling. Ergo we don't need degrowth. But by the same logic, we don't need socialism either.

Socialism is a tool used to consolidate power. That power is then used to destroy the institutions and freedoms in order to bring about Communism.

Communism is a tool used to destroy all religions in order to bring about one infinite rule for everything and everyone!

#Trump
#Socialism teaches that humans are organic, therefore anything humans desire is righteous...

The suppression of human desires is immoral...

Therefore you have the right to retaliate against any suppression of your desires.

#Trump #MAGA #QAnon
Socialism attacks religion because religion asks that you follow a set of values for a better life and suppress immoral desires that harm others...

#Socialism says that no human desires are immoral...

Therefore religion must be immoral!

DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR MSTD (#MARXISM/#SOCIALISM THOUGHT DISORDER)
Does the person believe that in the absence of minimum-wage and pro-union legislation, the greed of businessmen and capitalists would drive wages to or below the point of minimum subsistence?
Does the person believe that in the absence of maximum-hours laws, the greed of businessmen and capitalists would increase the length of the working day to an unendurable length, e.g., 18 hours?

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Useful Idiots.

The Training Of Saul Alinsky.

Hillary Clinton and Obama both subscribe to this Philosophy.

He wrote "Rules For Radicals"

This is the Leftist Bible.

How much of this came true?

Hillary Clinton, Saul Alinsky correspondence revealed

The letters also suggest that Alinsky (#Socialist), who died in 1972, had a deeper influence on Clinton’s early political views than previously known.
