"Bernie Sanders would seem to agree: What being a socialist means is
that you hold out
a vision of society where poverty is absolutely unnecessary, where international relations are not based on greed
but on cooperation
where human beings can own the means of production and work together rather than having to work as semi-slaves to other people who can hire and fire. The Dalai Lama couldnt have said it better himself."
