The most diabolical trick every played on humanity was to convince people that you could be a capitalist without, in fact, owning any capital at all.
The US is the only place in the world where the people without a penny in the bank would describe themselves as "capitalists".
For Europeans, this is hard to understand. It is similar to the arguments made by American right wing apologists for wealth inequality when they say "everyone can be in that top 1%." It simply makes no sense.
Crazy. Pazzo. VerrĂĽckt. Loco. Fou.

Been thinking about Bernie.
People make much of the fact that he is an Independent, but that affiliation is really only due to the particular political dynamics of Vermont. In practicality, Bernie is a Democrat, through and through.
1/15
Indeed, I would argue that he is more loyal to the Dem Party establishment than many actual Democrats. He has always caucused with the Democrats, and he has always seen that his path to power and influence lies through the Democratic Leadership.

We know that the Establishment is doing everything they can to stop Bernie Sanders. But this apparently includes actual election fraud. That is a bold allegation, but it is based in facts as reported on election night by TDMS Research. 1/8
"The discrepancies between the exit poll and the vote count for Sanders and Biden totaled 8.2%— double the 4.0% exit poll margin of error. Warren’s and Biden’s discrepancies totaled 8.0%, also double the margin of error." 2/

"Work hard and play by the rules" was the anthem and catchphrase of Clintonian Neoliberalism. Bill Clinton coined these exact words in 1992 and used them throughout his term in office. 1/7
They encapsulate the Neoliberal tenets that say no one has inherent Rights; you must "earn" your way into civil society, and you are only worth as much as The Market says you are worth. I describe these tenets here. 2/7 progressivearmy.com/2018/02/16/thi…
