" It used to be a dirty word. Bernie Sanders helped remove the stigma –
but it’s the spectacular failure of capitalism that has really changed
people’s minds "
The evident popularity of Bernie Sanders " on the left " and Donald
Trump " the right " is a sure sign of a crisis of the two party system- a
crisis for Corporate America because it pulls the strings in both the
Democratic and Republican parties.
The elite of these political establishments are -obvious to most thinking Americans- out of touch with the thoughts and opinions and feelings of the more " common " people.
There is abysmal ignorance and hostility on the Talk Radio Right about " socialism " .
I just heard the two Red Eye Radio hosts, Eric Harley and Gary McNamara, assert that it is " socialists " like Bernie Sanders- not conservative Republicans- who are the real " greedy " ones:
They want to take from " producers " and give it to lazy, unskilled, non-producers with a pernicious sense of entitlement :
The right is willfully ignorant of the Marxist concept of capitalist " exploitation " , the appropriation of social " surplus value " by the owners of industry, the general condition of " alienation "- even of the wealthy- in this historically evolved economic order,
Slavery perished and so will capitalist " wage slavery ".
Even if you reject the ideological case against capitalism , ordinary humanity will tell you that capitalism is the root of much social evil - from appalling poverty to the destruction of the environment, to the New Colonialism.
In contrast to Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton represents nothing but the political status quo in America.
Too bad for Hillary : this is the time of the Anti-Establishment Voter.
