Bernie calls for a political revolution but leaves out the economics,
which are inseparable from the politics. His “socialism” is social democratic
capitalism and as such a giant step beyond his compatriots. He moves the debate
closer to populist economics but the movement needs to put the problem smack
dab on the spot. It is capitalist economics, not just corporations, the rich,
Wall Street, Israel or minority rule of the political economic process, none of
which are anything new but have all become more blatant in the return to pre-great
depression free market fundamentalism which has even Clinton calling for
control of capitalism which gets out of control from time to time, she says.
Always, we say, for those on the loss side of the ledger.
And they are growing in number as the profits increase for a
shrinking group at the top.
