As a democratic socialist myself I cannot take seriously pseudo-socialists or " progressives " - often smugly WOKE - who entrench themselves in the corrupt , absolutely pro-CAPITALIST , pro -IMPERIALIST , more and more openly anti-CHRISTIAN, Democratic Party which for years now has promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism . Serious socialists - unlike the phony Bernie Sanders - will call for an INDEPENDENT American Labor Party whose goal is to end PRIVATE PROPERTY in the means of production , to end all FOR PROFIT industry and services in the United States. And serious socialists reject all WOKE nonsense GROUP THINK in the public schools today. And the " progressive " Democrats -not conservative Republicans - have shown contempt for decades now for the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. And it does seem that Pentagon War Crimes Machine and CIA -DEEP STATE is more attached to the " progressive " Democratic Party than to the Republican Party still dominated by the over-vilified and smeared ( Putin intrigue got Trump elected president of the United States in 2016 ? ) Donald Trump. And there do seem to be not a few militant ZIONIST Jews very prominent in the Biden administration and in the oh-so-WOKE Democratic Party. They make no effort to appeal to -or even to understand -working class CHRISTIAN Americans. So much for " OUR democracy " ! And they never apply Critical Race Theory to APARTHEID Israel .
