As a democratic Socialist and a registered Democrat myself in Rhode
Island I give critical support to this " socialist " Democrat , Senator
Bernie Sanders of Vermont. For years we have heard right wing Tea Party
Republicans-themselves besotted with Ayn Rand-claim that neo-liberal
Democrats- who rarely ever talk about the poor, working class
Americans-politicians like Hillary Clinton, President Obama- were
Marxists taking capitalist loving America down the dirty, worn down
SOCIALIST road.
So the un-demonizing of the WORD socialism was
long overdue.Young people demand a rational explanation for the MADNESS
of their world.
Question : how long can a serious
socialist survive in the soul-cramped Democratic Party ? You can be sure
that Sanders will end his presidential campaign with an obscene embrace
of Hillary or Joe Biden-the Old Establishment.
But the ideal of
Socialism will never die. It did not die with the death of the
Stalinist Soviet Union. True democracy can only be SOCIALIST democracy.
