"inaccurate placeholders." Sanders is trying to use them to trick people into voting for them/him -- a person who actually despises their capitalism-based systems.

Europe's social democracies and the U.S.'s capitalism-based systems are the same. The difference is that U.S. has socialized only one big national service, the VA, all others remaining capitalism-based, while they each have socialized more national services.

By doing that, Europe's "social democracies" successfully barred wannabe revolutionaries like Sanders from turning most of Europe into failed socialist states. And for that reason they are a big obstruction to the anti-capitalism dreams of democratic socialists.

Try, try again. But not with the U.S.

Sanders should purchase and socialize a "local" yogurt factory and see if he can make a go of that.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
