Capitalism - like ancient slavery - works just fine for our privileged class. But not for the wage slaves!

Again I can connect Bernie Sanders SOCIALIST vision with that of the late Irving Howe. An excerpt from a March 13,2019 article in " This Week " by Damon Linker :

[ " My favorite definition of socialism, because it so well captures the dreamy, circular, and largely contentless character of the way it is usually invoked, comes from Irving Howe, the New York intellectual, founder of Dissent magazine, and a life-long figure on the social-democratic left. Howe famously defined socialism as 'the name of our desire,'with the 'our' referring to highly literate, non-Stalinist leftists like himself. Socialism is what people like Howe desired."]

Karl Marx did say that the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class. The American ruling class makes the very idea of SOCIALISM anathema.

But could its mainstream news media really succeed in making working class people LOVE the reality of rotten capitalism and loathe the dream of socialism ?

My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a blood sucker ".

Capitalism - like ancient slavery - works just fine for our privileged class. But not for the wage slaves!
