- During a CNN town hall, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders explains the programs he'd like to implement if he were elected president, which have been criticized by President Trump as akin to socialism. #CNN #News
CNN writes:”…why Socialism is preferable to capitalism”. A second before Berni clarified democratic socialism and CNN knows that exactly.

@@MiguelHernandez-rk7bg It is virtually impossible for anyone in a society such as ours to have achieved anything on their own! To believe so is shortsighted and narrow minded, if not egotistic. Very few can truthfully say they have. Those are limited to the pioneers who struck out on their own and built their homesteads in the wilderness without assistance and, the even fewer unfortunate souls who became lost at sea but were fortunate enough to land on a deserted island with enough resources to survive.
Everyone else owes their success to as much luck as to hard work. Every successful person has had seminal moments of serendipity and encounters with others who greatly influenced ones path and future success.

Wise words. Thanks.

Excuse me but why tf is CNN being more critical of Bernie then Fox News?
cuz CNN is run by corporate people in other words WORST people then conservatives ! they only believe in MONEY not the well being of the people
Cause Fox News knows he will lose.
Because conservatives have spent the last 40 years dunking on liberals, but not (actual) socialists, so they have no script for it that hasn't been played out to death. At the same time, many conservatives see the death and destruction that capitalism is doing to families and communities through the rapacious health insurance industry, finance capital, and neoliberalisation. Tucker Carlson has been the leading Fox Host to criticize the ruling capitalist elites for desiccating society and robbing the economy.
At the same time, liberals hate socialists more than they hate the far-right, since it is only socialists who pose a threat to their material interests. Chris Matthews doesn't care that Trump puts immigrants in concentration camps and builds the murderous wall or war-mongers against Iran, but to him Sanders' plan to tax the incomes of the rich at higher levels is literally the Nazis conquering France. The other thing is that Sanders is basically proving elite liberals and their worldview entirely wrong. They've been saying that the country is center-right and that progressives and leftists will lose as it it was still 1978. Their zombie ideas have finally hit a wall.
Very simple he will raise their taxes.

Many of the people asking the question can't define either term. It's just nonsense for the consumption of shallow thinkers.
capitalism seems to corrupt politics with money. we arent even a democracy. at this point we are a neonationalist capitalist oligarchy
@@taylorfamily4685
Capitalism has nothing to do with lobbying.
It's private ownership of the means of production. That's all it is.
I haven’t heard Bernie answer the question yet.
@@jimziemer474 because it’s framed in such a rediculous way, not sure why you can’t see that. He has never advocated to replace “Capitalism” with Socialism. His ideas are actually mainstream in most of the other developed countries on the planet: Universal health care, free community colleges, paid leave, lower prescription drug costs. Somehow Americans are confused and think that is Venezuela style socialism lol.
In Europe we have Free Health Care,
Free Schools even Free University,
Up to 480 days of Paid Maternity Leave,

I know that Bernie markets himself as a Democratic Socialist, but as they're classically defined, Bernie's record actually reflects Social Democracy more than Democratic Socialism. I don't have enough time to explain the difference right now but look them both up. I still am a Bernie supporter but I just wanted to clarify his ideological leanings.
You're right. I noticed it too
I think it’s tactical. He is definitely a full on socialist in his actual views, he’s shoehorning socialism with policies people like to help save the term, which has succeeded
These are all literally lower phases of communism. You not just gonna wake up with your system flip lmfao this is a process the ultimate goal is communism. The government can't provide you security except through military means you and your family and your family provide your own security.
He completely skips over the question and tries to pitch this shit with out really defining what he's actually selling.
@@jeremiahbell8682 what’s communism?
My son is just reaching college age, and is terrified of the cost. It's a national disgrace.
Thank god there are alternatives already that won't bankrupt the country. I joined the military and went to school on the GI BIll.
If the cost of college went down, taxes would skyrocket. The value of the degree would diminish because everyone would have them.
@@andrewcc2001 So lets just print college degrees for everyone. Think of the money we'd save. ;)
@@andrewcc2001 That's interesting, because when I attended college, tuition was roughly $5,000.00. This was in the late 80s. Yet, taxes weren't sky high. My parents were blue collar, and had enough to loan me my tuition (a deal I made with them) interest free. In other words, they could afford it out of pocket on the combined salaries of an electrician and a receptionist.
Although the wealthy payed a lot more in taxes those days. But then, they weren't crybabies like they are now.
What value does a degree have now? You can earn lower-to-middle class salary and spend upwards of $1,000/month paying back student loans for decades. Not a whole lot of value there.
Tell your son that a 2 year degree at a local trade school is a lot more affordable and way more rewarding in the long run.
Why do we keep smacking labels like "socialism" on policies, and then argue about which labels are good / evil? Let's not dull our discussions with these abstractions, and instead focus on the concrete policies that Bernie and other politicians are talking about. If nobody used labels like socialism, capitalism, republican, and democratic, and instead focused on the content of the policies, then the political climate would be much less biased and divided.
exactly !!
Sure, break down the mathematic cost of what he's saying and compare it to our annual budget. We are 18 trillion in debt. What he's talking about is mathematically feasible in no country with 340 million people on Earth. Do you want to pay 80% in taxes so that you have a "Better paying job, healthcare, and education for free?" I certainly don't, but I want the right to own a gun and I don't want power consolidated and given to state/federal legislatures who are given no hard/intelligent questions by CNN reporters because they're Dems. I don't want more rights given to clinics to abort babies later because women, in hundreds of thousands of instances annually, are too irresponsible to have safe sex. I don't want it to be considered humane to allow people to live here when they illegally stayed here, are then given amnesty, additionally are given benefits that the tax payer then foot the bill for. I also don't want our country involved in the never ending wars of the Middle East which democrats got us involved in. No thanks! I want a country that efficiently runs itself, prioritizes rights over fears, and a real third party.
@@ShavNLucid _"Do you want to pay 80% in taxes so that you have a "Better paying job, healthcare, and education for free?"_
Yes, I certainly do. I wouldn't have to pay 80% though, only the rich would. You should brush up on tax brackets.
_" I want the right to own a gun"_

@@BjarkeDuDe 1st comment:
So much is wrong with this, so I will start here. Presently, the tax brackets for the United States are as follows: $0-9,525 (10%), $9526-$38,700 (12%), $38,701-$82,500 (22%), $82,501-$157,500 (24%), $157,501-$200,000 (32%), $200,001-$500,000 (35%), and finally $500,001+ (37%) (Smartasset). America's top 5% are estimated to earn $448,489+ per year, with the top 0.1% earning $1,260,508 annually and the top 0.1% earning 6,087,113 annually by average (Equitablegrowth). Currently speaking, if the tax brackets go unchanged, this means that around 18-23% of wealth (estimations vary - Brooking's institute) annually goes to this top 1%. I will do you the favor, as you so perfectly ignored me, to do the math for you and graciously, I will include the top 5% as being an 80% tax of their 18% of total income received.
US GDP currently stands for Q4 of 2018 as $20,891,400,000,000 (Thebalance). 18% of this: $3,760,452,000,000 (net income) to 23% 4,805,022,000,000 (net income). Taxing the rich at a rate of 80% (aka the top 5%) would mean: $3,008,361,600,000-$3,844,017,600,000 in taxed income leaving them with around $752,090,400,000-$961,004,400,000. This would, on the top end, cover the $3.8 trillion (national priorities) currently needed of the federal spending with no new additions to government spending. Debate about the 23% being accurate is, however, argued by the Brookings institute who have the more recent study. However, the cost of new healthcare systems for the millions of uninsured Americans would certainly cause a major jump in the US spending. Additionally, the costs estimated for Sanders-endorsed would be upwards of 2.5 Trillion annually (Urban Institute). Good luck with your proposition, "Only the rich would." As for rising taxes...
The money they would have more than likely means they would reinvest much less than previously, adversely effecting the supply-side of the economy which would likely lead to new hurdles for the economy because higher salary jobs which are needed in the economy, "Indeed, economist Arthur Laffer (of “Laffer curve” fame) popularized the notion that higher tax rates may actually cause the tax base to shrink so much that tax revenues will decline, and that a cut in tax rates may increase the tax base so much that tax revenues increase" (econlib.org). Given that economists have noted this in relation to the 1980s tax cuts which opposed Keynesian economics, 'Economists continue to debate the precise effects of the 1980s tax cuts. After extensive analysis of the 1986 rate reductions, both Lawrence Lindsey and Martin Feldstein concluded that for taxpayers previously facing marginal tax rates of 40 percent or more, the drop in tax rates caused such a large increase in taxable income that the government was collecting even more revenue from taxpayers in these top brackets. This would mean that tax rates of 40 percent had had a highly destructive impact on economic activity'" (econlib.org) it is reasonable to assume that jumping this to 80 percent or more would, in the long run, be detrimental to the economy as it relates to inflation. In fact, the economy got better as taxes were reduced during the Kennedy and Reagan eras and suffered during the Hoover era.

I'm not going to bother replying to the rest of your post, it's all equally as unintelligent as your first point. You don't want a debate on policy, you want to give a logical reason behind the morals of your politics. I don't give two shits about your morals, you believe that the ends justify the means with abortion. Let me quarrel you this: If abortions stop someone from leading a life which would be, "Cruel," then how exactly is it that you don't support suicide for anyone who is having a tough time emotionally in life? OR - do you think suicide is the answer for anyone involved in a rough life? It's a completely erroneous point, and you effectively state that death is better than a hard life. So, if you have anything which makes your life difficult - the answer is suicide by your own logic. Give me a break, and stop being a parrot.

It always amazes me to see how the Republican Party has managed to convince half the country to vote against their own interests, and do so with great enthusiasm.
I'm ashamed to say, I did for a long time. I swallowed the lies hook, line and sinker, voting GOP for 20 years. I'm a democratic socialist now. I changed because I understood the AI field well enough to see that the coming era of mass automation in combination with the rightwing agenda could only lead to mass starvation. But a lot of people won't wake up until the billionaires replace their jobs with robots and AI. But change is coming. And a leader like Bernie Sanders can accelerate that change but educating people and can implement policies that mitigate the suffering that results from the economic disruption we are facing.
@@j.f.fisher5318 anyone from both sides are the same
@highcountryauto Before Reagan people made more money relative to the cost of living the tax rates on ordinary people were virtually identical, but our economy wasn't being mortgaged to give handouts to billionaires. Between the time Carter took office and when Reagan replaced him, the burden of the debt as a percentage of the GDP fell from 35% of the GDP to just 31% - then Reagan tripled the debt pushing it to 50% of the GDP. And now your job is about to be replaced by robots and AI and the GOP will leave you to starve once they no longer need your labor. And yet you happily vote against your interests because you are so sure that liberals will destroy the economy. What a joke.
@@ernestogastelum9123 There was hardly any deficit under Carter (as with every other administration between the end of WW2 and Reagan), or under Clinton. Obama was bailing out the banks, we can argue whether that was a good idea or not - I argue with myself about whether it was or not haha. Reagan tripled the debt. GHW Bush increased it by 50% in his 1 term. GW Bush doubled it - and his spending had already increased from Clintons even before 9/11. Before Reagan the rightwing slogan was "no trillion dollar debt" - now Trump runs an annual deficit of $1 trillion. Rightwingers string folks along with talk of balancing the budget but they are too busy giving handouts to billionaires to do anything about it. Before Reagan we kept poverty rates low, we kept the percentage of the country owned by the top 1% to 10% of the GDP - now it is 25% The middle class had good jobs and most people could buy homes and most people had savings - now most people are just a month or two away from going broke. We were making progress toward reducing our impact on the environment, now we are deliberately destroying as much as we can. But you say there's no difference between different political ideologies - what a joke.

You are absolutely correct! In 1960, CEO's only made 40% more than the average wage earner but when Reagan was in office it soared to 500%! It has since leveled off down to 300% more than the average wage earner!
the guy is fighting for decent education and HEALTH CARE AS A RIGHT
WHY are people opposing THIS??
People care about having more money than they can spend over their fellow countrymen
because some of these young kids are confused and think his platform is socialist. the welthy special interest is using this confusion in the media to spread fear that hesa an actual socialist. BERNIE IS NOT A SOCIALIST! BErnie needs to straight up say hes not a socialist. He needs to make that crystal clear.these are the words he needs to say "im not a socialist. im not taking the means of production from the private sector. Im getting rid of the mafia middle men in the health insurance industry and doing my part to save the damn planet and help the impoverished attain the american dream."
Health care is a human right. Eating, sleeping, exercising and practicing ending pollution is definitely the right thing to do or become filthy, fat, lazy and unhealthy excuses for human beings. A decent education only happens when children are taught discipline and respect for rules and their authority figures.
@@gschaaf713 I agree Bernie has explained dozens of times what he means but the general public is really dense and needs things to be said in idiot proof language exactly like you've pointed out here. I agree if he worded it the way you are working it here there would be less confusion.
on another note since the media doesnt really WANT Bernies message to take hold, who's to say that he HASNT explained things in the way you described and the media just hasnt broadcasted it.
Also we can all agree that drug prices are incredibly high for no reason, both political sides need to find solutions to reduce the costs for them especially the orphan drugs becuase those are even more serious
Maybe BERNIE could start correctly calling himself a social democrat, since he isn't calling for the elimination of the private sector.
@Google Hatesfreespeech
First off -- no he hasn't, he called for it to be reexamined.
Our electoral college effectively as it functions currently, is protecting an *oligarchy*.
While many first world nation's provide more adequate care than America, their abilities to do so depend on many factors. Nothing is free, only better managed.
Meanwhile, the Nordic countries have had Universal Healthcare and Education for over 60 years.
They became some of the most business innovative, productive, free and least corrupt group of countries, *allowing the common person to feel and fully benefit from the progress made*
60 years ago they literally kicked the wealthiest out of government positions via long on going protest.
These people chose to put farmers, businessman, doctors, and labor workers among legislative bodies.
With more common workers on legislative boards, they worked to develop a nation that invested in human economics. One in which encourages people to reach their full economic potential.
This in turn translated into better ideas, more common understanding, less waste, and better legislation to produce a better economy and an even more harmonious social structure. Again problems still exist, just far, far less contentious involving less calamity.
Underlying philosophy - if our minds and bodies are an important economic resource, then as a country and as individuals, we benefit from the cultivation of all our potential. It is an overall economic loss to ignore the vast potential available in citizens who are treated like they matter.

@B olton Uhh - except Leninism IS democratic socialism, by definition.
@@tropicallivingoverseas5202 >> how is that a bad thing for healthcare or education?
US primary & secondary edu is already a government near-monopoly dominated by a teachers union (labor monopoly), so it already is a good produced by "democratic socialism". This primary+secondary edu in the US varies from mediocre to awful. It doesn't provide the sort of edu needed for a modern society, and it completely fails millions of dropouts (mostly inner-city and minorities). IMO it's a racist system.
What is OBVIOUSLY needed is competition & choice, and especially the opportunity for bad schools to fail. The government+union system stands adamantly opposed to improvements.
Converting US healthcare or US higher edu (which are already harmed by gov) into similar cesspools as primary & secondary edu could only be promoted by someone ignorant of the likely results.

Socialism abolishes capitalism. What Bernie is advocating is to leave capitalism intact while expanding the welfare state. That's not socialism (call it social democracy if you want) but I'd take it over what we have now.

If you look at the statistics people in countries with socialized medicine people live as long and in some cases a few years longer. In the US the rich live several years longer than the poor while in socialized medicine countries the poor live as long as the rich. In countries with socialized medicine people get problems treated before they become a big issue and there isn't as much suffering. Wait times in socialized medicine countries are about the same as wait times in America. A 30 year old relative of mine had a suspicious lump in her breast, she had to wait almost a month to see a doctor and 3 months to find out she did not have breast cancer, if that is not a long wait time I don't know what is. 500,000 Americans are brankrupted by medical bills every year, the number of Europeans bankrupted by medical bills is almost zero so obviously Europeans don't pay much out of pocket. The American healthcare tax is almost twice as much as the European healthcare tax. Most Americans don't realize there is a healthcare tax because their employer pays most of the tax. When American's complain about not getting a raise or their raise not keeping up with inflation, they need to realize that after their employer pays their exorbitant healthcare premium there might not be much money left over for raises. Medicare for all could be implemented without a tax increase if money employers are paying towards employee premiums was re-directed. Most politicians won't tell you all this because the health insurance companies have given them donations to stay quiet.
The problem is that the USA is not civilised.

The citizens are poor because there's too much dependence on the welfare state. Government is too big. Government should only have three responsibilities; protect our civil rights, protect us from foreign countries wishing to do us harm, and enforcing contracts (i.e. enforcing the rule of law). Other than that, government should stay out of people's lives and allow them equal opportunities. Allow society to be self reliant. If some people need help, that's okay we don't need government to take care of them. We can do that at the local level (e.g. Churches and other non-profit organizations). I don't need government telling me I can't use plastic straws. By the way you could get arrested in Canada for using the wrong gender pronoun. What kind of crap is that? Sweden has become the rape capital of the world. The freedom that those countries you named enjoy is thanks to the US military. Those countries use very little of their own GDP for self defense. They got big brother US paying for their security. Yeah, better than US, right?
@@chjm6910 security from whom?
I’m sorry to say that the US often doesn’t even get into the top 10 countries of the world for living standards, let alone being the number 1.
To anyone who’s studied economics, that’s much more important than the likes of GDP. In fact, GDP doesn’t even mean that much in the grand scheme of things. Anyone who uses metrics like those as proof has a lack of understanding.
I have travelled the world. The idea the US is the greatest country is simply an ideology with no real basis. It’s brilliant in some ways, sure.
Bernie has based his policies on countries that have performed better for happiness and lifestyle. They are normal ideas in 90% of the world, and have been highly successful in countries with them. I don't call that radical. I call that intelligent and common sense.
Dealing with climate change is expensive but not dealing with it is going to cost a whole lot more.
It already is when you compare the amount it cost to rebuild places that have suffered more intense hurricanes, wildfires and flooding just like we were warned.
Sad thing is it's probably already too late.
You can’t spend more money than five times the entire GDP of the country for impossible tasks and expect Congress to OK it. You have to be a little bit more pragmatic in trying to enact change. Being radical only makes the Party look like a bunch of idiots for being associated with such a radical.
Rather than supporting a bartender’s Green New Stupidity, why not try to enact a change to legislation that might actually stand a chance at getting approved by both Parties, like offering small payroll tax breaks to companies that take great efforts to be environmentally friendly?

Bernie should say a bit more about how his socialism differs from that of the failed Latin American socialist states. Everyone admires the Nordic model... The Latin socialist model not so much.
Because the Latin model is corrupt. Social democracy, like we have in Scandinavia, doesn´t rely on oligarchs and dictators. Big difference.
@Tomas Fordelsen
You made a key distinction that I wish Bernie et al. would pound into the ground: he's promoting Social Democracy, _not_ democratic Socialism, and _certainly not_ Socialism. Fox loves to use the whole Socialism thing to scare people and the progressives need to do a better job of explaining why what they're offering is NOT Socialism.
@@TroIIingThemSoftly It seems to me that Bernie Sanders is promoting democratic socialism, but he has his own definition of it. It seems that he himself might be mixing up the definitions. We don´t have democratic socialism in Scandinavia, we have social democracy. Democratic socialism limits capitalism heavily and relies mostly on governmental interference. This is where it quickly can get dangerous if a president, who controls a lot of the nation´s wealth, demands total and personal control, and starts acting like a dictator. Or there´s a military coup, where a general claims all power of the resources.
Social democracy, on the other hand, is accepting capitalism but does not promote free market capitalism. In Scandinavia we have capitalism, but everything is regulated to a certain degree (it varies between the sectors), and most basic services - the ones that cater to the most human needs - are predominantly managed and supervised by the government. In other words, the government has monopoly on only a very limited number of services but keeps supervision on a lot.
The line between the two definitions is not very clear and I think the blurred line can hurt Sander´s campaign because his opponents and right wing media, as you mentioned, are gonna focus on the socialist part, and compare it to communism.
It’s because the Nordic PEOPLE are very different from the Latin American people. It’s not about the “system,” it’s about the people that participate in it.
@@tomasfordelsen2090 They will. That's why it's important that Bernie state clearly what he means by "socialism". It can mean a lot of different things. To Fox et al, it means Venezuela, Fidel Castro, Lenin, Marxism etc. He needs to pre-empt the scare-mongering which is definitely coming.
How do people not know that you can have socialism and capitalism. This is why we need a better education system.
Thuggy, we already have it. Medicare/Medicaid.
That's because socialism doesn't create wealth. The socialism that we even have in the first place is there because of capitalism. So you need more capitalism not less. Bernie wants the opposite.
@Moddibo - Capitalism is not required to create the resources needed to support a decent life but a market economy is probably the only rational choice in a democracy. Markets existed before capitalism existed so they don’t require capitalism. Still, we know how to do capitalism, so a social democracy with some degree of capitalism does appear to be the best way to get a better balance from where we are today. Other countries do a better job with the balance, we can too. I don’t believe that Sanders is saying any more than that.

I don’t know of any policy we would have in common with Venezuela, not to mention nothing about our economies is comparable in any way..this is why he has no source to cite, it’s just his feeling/unfounded opinion.
First of all, even if we ignore all the fucked up shit that’s been tumultuous about Venezuela’s economy for so long, Venezuela STILL doesn’t have anything remotely close to the Social Democratic policies of Bernie Sanders, or of Germany, Denmark, etc.
Julian above made the distinction very clear and it was succinct, and easy to understand. Socialism is NOT the same as Social Democracy. Not only do those countries still enjoy the innovative, competitive aspects of Capitalism, but they are happier, more equal, more economically prosperous, and more FREE (that’s right.) than the United States, while still maintaining better healthcare and education too.

Jimmy TwoShoes Venezuela is also a capitalist country with social programs. They actually have a smaller public sector than a lot of European countries. Similar model to the Scandinavian countries which are by all the measures the most successful countries in the world. Venezuela was becoming the richest nation in Latin America until their current problems which are due to the political conflict taking place, sanctions, and over dependence on the oil market.

Private hospitals, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and private insurance companies, etc. all exist and thrive. American taxes go to funding wars and that's pretty much it. The US and Chile are the only developed/developing countries without universal healthcare.

And it's getting worse all the time.
People with half a brain realize that there is no money when big corporations leave again bc taxes are raised. You people use ZERO logic
That is not entirely correct. Bernie’s single payer plan would eliminate insurance companies and the option to choose your own health plan. Only “non duplicate” coverage is legal under his plan and there are so many restrictions to supplemental coverage that it could not cover much of anything. There would be no private insurance under single payer. However there are other plans under the “Medicare for all” umbrella that do endorse a two payer system of both public and private. Bernie however is extreme and that is why he is very problematic. Cory Booker has a better plan and would be a better candidate that might not risk putting trump back in office.

I wish Bernie would stop referring to himself as a democratic socialist. His policies are really those of a social democrat. I fear the label he’s using to describe himself may be scaring some out of voting for him.
He does scare people from voting Democrat. Not just Bernie. But every Democrat candidate. The democratic party lost 2016. Because they ran on issues that most Americans could care less about. The only president in my lifetime, that really cared about the working class men and women, is TRUMP. Have fun fighting that. Cause the people the Democrats listen to have served their constituents so well, that they have a better paying job than mine and still live in a van down by the cartels. The left is the laughing stock of America. Completely out of touch with reality.
It's been fun watching the democratic party implode. You better get a job before you lose your government benefits.
Its funny, because i live in Switzerland and we have a socialist party, that rules over the country with three other parties. And literally nobody is scared by the “socialists” in our country, in fact: It’s the second biggest party... With a good reason: They are (many times) a good party.
And not just Switzerland. Even in Germany, theres not only a social democratic party, who rules with the conservatives, theres is a far-left party, that rules over a state in Germany.
Socialism scares many Americans, but in Europe, its just standard...

Yes, that's part of what Bernie stood for. He wanted to supply a livable wage to all Americans in order for them to work full-time without stressing over whether or not they can feed their families and pay rent.
As an European I can tell you that what he describes is not democratic socialism, it's social democracy where the wealth needed for funding those government programs is created through capitalism. Oh, and by the way, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg are constitutional monarchies. I have no idea what's socialist is a monarchy.
This is correct. Hence why there economy work and unions make up way more representation then the United States. Also innovation is much slower there. Lastly with there social welfare taxes are much higher on lower income wages than here, and not really that much higher on so called wealthy wage workers.
"constitutional monarchies", hmm, But those countries is rune by a parliamentary system which means People can vote for different Parties and their different political idea!
Socialism in Europe is not against capitalism but what it does is limit their ability to gain enough power which would control peoples everyday life, like in USA, which basically is rune by Oligarch and Corporation by having Politician and media mogul in their Pockets..!
@@Theothersideofstory2000
Do you even know what's the difference between a constitutional monarchy and an absolutist one? In a constitutional monarchy the executive power is shared between the monarch and the government which is appointed by the parliament. The monarch also plays a very important role in keeping the nation united and keeping the national heritage safe. Belgium for example would have broken in Flanders and Wallonia long ago if there was no king to keep them united.
@@tepesobrejac4360
Yes I know, but it seams U don't know that , a constitutional monarchy only accuser in countries like the United Kingdom and Belgium and few other countries which have consist of different national group and different languages! But Even in the United Kingdom the Socialism ingredients in politic is much more wide spread than USA, like better healthcare system, better education system that make more people can afford to go collage and so on!
But This is not the case for the Scandinavian countries which monarchy only is a Symbolic of the past and they don't have any significant Political power!!
@@Theothersideofstory2000
Socialist government programs funded with money created by capitalism. This is social democracy, not socialism.
There's a very big difference between political power and the power of the monarch. The monarch has to be neutral in politics so that he can be an excellent moderator. Another role of the monarch in a constitutional monarchy is to intervene in internal politics as a moderator in case of any political crisis.
Why doesn't Fox News ever talk about socialist Bolivia? I mean its pretty close to Venezuela.

In America there is only one correct answer to a question or accusation of being 'for socialism' and that is to ask the accuser what he or she means by 'socialism'. Any other answer is falling into the trap that your opponents have put up. It is a big error on Bernie Sander's part not to ask what she means but to start lecturing again.

"Democratic socialism" is social democracy, it has nothing to do with classic socialism, Soviet style, or Maduro Venezuela style. I do not agree that the "democratic socialism" should be used. It's a regression, in my opinion. And All European countries, in addition to other countries such as Canada and Japan, without exception are social democracies. In fact almost all countries with functioning democracy are social democracies, where capitalism is the main economic system, but the government regulates the market and provides a social safety net. I do not know what is so controversial about that. That is different than socialism, which is the state (the government) taking over the means of production away from private enterprise.
Socialism sheep
Democratic socialism is still socialism, like national socialism in Nazi Germany. Same ineffective system that currently ruins EU.
Wrong COMMUNISM is the taking over of all private property - Socialism is using the redistribution of the unearned wealth of the rich via the taxation system to help improve both the national infrastructure and enhance the upward mobility of the underclasses
Your ignorance is astounding - Supply side economics which is what we are seeing today doesn't work - You can produce a thousand widgets but that doesn't help you if no one can pay for them - Demand side economics means you put more money into households by raising wages so they not only can afford basic neccessities but can also save

@@evangiles17 I really can't agree with your definition of Socialism. I lived in Yugoslavia, a socialist republic, and I can tell you that most properties were nationalized (all production was owned by the state and the land was partially nationalized, partially collectivized). Socialism is a very broad term that includes everything from Marxism, all the way to social democracy, which is now prevalent in Europe (that's why it is so easy to misuse and take out of context). Communism is, in fact, a very far-left idea that was never implemented fully. The Soviet Union was only nominally communist since pure communism requires the dissolution of state, classes, money... It never happened.
As a non-American, I can't really understand what normal Americans would see in a man like Trump, and not see in a man like Bernie Sanders. Why would people not want healthcare and education opportunities, which don't seem to be available to the average American without enormous cost?

The question itself is stupid. Capitalism is a description of an economic structure and socialism refers more to social services. Both exists in America today.

It comes down to if we want to continue paying for wars and weapons with the capability to destroy the world or for health care and higher education. It's really that simple.
Obama said some of that stuff and he did literally nothing, and fucked up alot of society these days.
If you think it's that simple, you're quite stupid.
As someone in college currently, I think that less people should be in college. College is not for everyone. There’s a lot of people that should not be in college now, but they are because it’s easy to get a student loan and everyone tells them to go to college, not for any other reason
If you want more affordable healthcare, remove the limitations on medical licenses and allow foreign doctors to practice in the US. There is no reason to artificially limit the number of medical professionals in the US, but we’ve been doing so since the 1960, right when medical costs began to rise. Countries that didn’t limit themselves this way, like Germany have healthcare costs at right about where we did in the 1960s. Socialism is not the answer, deregulation is
First Last Actually, the public healthcare options in most countries are virtually worthless. There’s an assload of paperwork to go through first, the public doctors are prone to striking, and private healthcare is universally affordable, because there’s no artificial limit on the number of medical practicers (everything in the medical field requires a medical license, so limiting them means less doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, surgeons and everything else as well). Most countries with “universal healthcare” even require their citizens to have private healthcare providers too, so it usually just benefits foreigners.
“There is no desire for business to fix it” Why? The medical business was doing perfectly fine without the artificial limitation of medical licenses and prohibition of foreign doctors from practicing in the US. If those limitations are removed, more medical practicers will be able to be certified and drive the cost of medicine down again. That’s why countries without those limitations have healthcare that’s very easily affordable, whereas America does not. Socialism is not necessary here, just deregulation, which will get us to the same price as everywhere else as prices deflate. With prices deflated, more people can easily make more frequent visits, which will decrease chronic illness frequency.
Ability is not evenly distributed. Some people are better at things than others are and some people are just average. That’s just a fact of life that people don’t like to acknowledge. Not everyone can become a Doctor, a Lawyer, or an Engineer. That ability is a very rare one, which is why so many people in college for those end up dropping out. In terms of opportunity, women, people of color, and single mother children are given much more than everyone else. So much affirmative action definitely gives them the upper hand for college entry (and usually affordability). Asian Americans seem to *really* get the shaft in terms of acceptability ( www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/04/04/us/harvard-asian-admission.amp.html ), in the name of “diversity” (racial discrimination).
Children of single mothers (“disadvantaged”) also receive Pell Grants for some reason. I’m not sure of why your parents choosing to not marry entitles you to receive free money for college, whereas everyone else has to get loans. In terms of accessibility to loans, just about anyone can get them. I get at least fifteen emails about student loan offers every month.
First Last “Deregulation isn’t going to make things better” Yeah, pointless over-regulation is what caused it, so obviously more government restrictions will fix it, right?
The US ranks behind them, because they aren’t as restricted by pointless over-regulation like we are. If Congress would admit that they’re the ones that fucked up and just remove their pointless limitations, the medical market would return to where every other country has kept it at. More medical practicers means lower costs and less shortages. That’s why it’s so much cheaper anywhere else: czcams.com/video/IfLdzCt5Zc0/video.html
I’m not misusing the word “Socialism”, because Bernie Sanders is a self-admitted Socialist. Claiming that I’m misusing it here shows that you lack some fairly basic information of the topic.
Bernie heard Roosevelt's speech on the radio in 1944 when he a young man
Student loans should not be paid by the government. College should be more affordable not free. People should not be forced to pay higher taxes for a health insurance plan they do not want. Min wage should not double all that will do is create less jobs. Europe is a lot less inovoative and their jobs pay a lot less than in the United States. America is a country where anyone who works smart and hard become sucesful. In europe they do not have as much as people go from poor to middle class as they do in USA. Bernie should not be president.
You go Bernie.
