But it is how you ask those questions often using ritht wing insults, and the fact that you hang on to them like a dog with a bone is what I am referring to.
Look at Sanders platform, look at what he says today. Look at what he has supported as mayor, congressman and Senator. He has not tried to "take over" the private sector or impose a Marxist state. Quire the contrary.
As I recall, the Democrats, including Obama were the ones who pressed for the US government to take over the auto industry. Does that make them Socialist too?
As has been explained to you many times, "socialism" is a broad and very diverse term, just as "captalism" applies to many dofferent approaches. A small business owned by a kindly grocer and Jack Welch are both "captalists" but their approach andd goals and values are very different.
