To conclude , I do hope " socialist " Bernie Sanders has a triumphal Super Tuesday. My " faith " in democratic socialism will survive all disappointments as it has for 50 years.

  [ Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by The Harvard Crimson.]
  

   An educated good citizen' s opinion
• of socialism is conditioned by his life experience, his family loyalty, his own economic status and his present job.
• 
  
• 
  I am not aware of any religious faith that blesses greed. So significant reform within the capitalist system is always possible. Growing fascism indicates that moderate " progress " toward social justice does not always win the day .

•  Yes, there was Roosevelt - " that man " in 1932 year of the Great Depression. There was also in that very year Hitler and his Nazi Party in Berlin. Before the end of that decade Stalin would make a pack with Hitler on dividing Poland and then order American Communist Party members to support FDR.

  If you could have an honest referendum on capitalism vs. socialism I would bet that 80 percent of the working class population would JUST SAY NO TO CAPITALISM , to the ONE PERCENT ,to plutocrats Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg.
• 
  Working class American know the truth about their own lives, their own profound economic insecurity . And many millions of once smug middle class Americans for years now have been feeling " free fall " as Senator Elizabeth Warren lectures about.
• 
  Can American capitalism ever check belligerent American imperialism ? Every month there is a wicked ENEMY flavor of the month. Now Russia, now China, Now North Korea, now Iran , now pathetic little Venezuela.
• 
  And do working class Americans lose sleep over which world power , Russia, the United States , Zionist Israel controls the Ukraine ?
• 
  How many " progressive " Democrats have been condemning the " military industrial complex " in the presidential campaign of 2020 ? Even " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders rarely mentions WORLD PEACE on his political agenda.
• 
  
• To be sure ONLY Big Government - if not " socialism " - can protect citizens against everyday capitalist swindlers. Those silly and outrageous PILL commercials on TV news come close to a crime against humanity.
  Can the capitalism that WE working class people experience every day survive for a day without LIES and POLICE BRUTALITY ? You should respect the slogan " Black Lives Matter " when  you read about some inner city kid shot dead by a cop over a candy store robbery.
  In fact,the police treat ALL working class people with suspicion and contempt . And the American Gulag is affirmative action for INJUSTICE for all inmates.
  Even Judge Judy - naturally a big fan of billionaire presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg - is a quintessential BOURGEOIS judge.
  Any public lecture on how wonderful is capitalism will not draw a crowd of working class people.
  Sad to say but some TV evangelist , an Elmer Gantry type , would attracts millions of viewers by telling them that Jesus wants them to be rich !
  The Catholic Church -for all its flaws- could never produce a FEEL GOOD TV evangelist. And Pope Francis has voiced harsh criticism of " free market " capitalism .
  To conclude , I do hope " socialist " Bernie Sanders has a triumphal Super Tuesday. My " faith " in democratic socialism will survive all disappointments as it has for 50 years.
