"Democratic socialism is a political philosophy supporting political democracy within a socially owned economy, with a particular emphasis on workers' self-management and democratic control of economic institutions within a market socialist economy or some form of a decentralised planned socialist economy." This would require ownership and control of the means of production by the government on behalf of the people.During and subsequent to the Bolshevik Revolution (Russia), "the policy aimed to integrate individual landholdings and labour into collectively-controlled and state-controlled farms: Kolkhozy and Sovkhozy accordingly." The forced collectivization of the agrarian and industrial sectors of the Russian economy resulted in the murder of 60,000,000 people. Collectivation in Mao's China was intiated during "The Great Leap Forward" and later during "The Cultural Revolution". These efforts were largely accomplished by and through the murder of 45,000,000 Chinese who opposed these efforts. History and human nature tell us that American "collectivization" and "wealth redistribution" will necessarily be accomplished by force. This is why they want your gun.
Many of you think you've wandered into special new politically egalitarian territory. You haven't. What you are hearing from Bernie Sanders and much of the Democrat Party are the same justifications for "fundamental structural change" that those who perished under the tyranny of revolutionary Marxism/Leninism heard. Make no mistake … the goal of any and every kind of "Socialism" is Marxism (Vladimir Lenin). It is inevitable. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.It's a deception that has a foothold in your hatred and confirmation bias. Understand that very same hatred will now be your undoing if you allow it.
