Anyone who thinks the Democrats and the independent Bernie Sanders are "communists " has been brainwashed by right-wing extremist propaganda . In fact, there is nothing even remotely communist about the policies of the democratic party or Sanders .
If they were actual communists , they would advocate : 1. Abolishing all private corporations and small businesses and nationalize all of them 2. Advocate abolishing our stock market .
3. putting agriculture , manufacturing , stores and supermarkets etc under government control .
4. Have our government control production of all goods, services etc with no private enterprise allowed . Everything we take for granted in the US - availability of food, goods, clothing , etc would be under strict government control .
5. There would be no free press and all dissidents would be either put in prison or executed or both . 6. All organized religious, whether Christianity, Islam , Judaism, etc would be prohibited and all churches, mosques, synagogues and temples would be closed down permanently . Those who practiced any religion in the open would be either imprisoned, executed or both .
7. The government would control the media a- newspapers, magazines , the internet etc .
8. There would be strict government censorship of all books, magazines, television the internet , films etc . And so on .
Furthermore,e this would not even be possible if the Democrats actually wanted to set up a strict communist government in the US !
None of the Democrats advocates anything even remotely similar to this . This economic system failed miserably in Russia, China and elsewhere , because it is a lousy way to run a government .
All the Democrats want to do is to overhaul our current system so that life will be affordable for people, people will not have to struggle desperately to earn a living, people won't lose their homes if they lose their jobs , nobody will die because health care is too expensive , (40,000 die every year because of this in America ). And nobody will go bankrupt in order to get medical care.
So many do today here, people who are not even poor .
The Democrats want to make college AFFORDABLE . It's just to expensive for people who are not rich or who don't have rich parents . And this country really needs well educated people to be doctors, scientists , inventors , economists etc in order to remain competitive int he global economy . We are shooting ourselves in the foot by allowing college to be too expensive for most people .
The Democrats don't want to take all the money away from rich people , and they are not opposed to wealth per se . They are opposed to the corporate greed which has ruined the US economy in the east 40 years or so .
The Democrats realize that there MUST be some government supervision over big business,s because without this, the corporate fat cats would e free to exploit their employees and the public with impunity .
And so on. Don't believe the Fox News propaganda and the propaganda of Breitbart and other right-wing extremist internet rags ! If you are not rich and you voted for Trump, you voted against you own interests !
