Bernie Sanders is the Senator from the whitest state in the USA, and advocates for being like the whitest place on earth, Scandinavia. LOL

I think he is a white supremacist. lol.

Capitalism is man exploiting man. Communism is the other way around.

Only the left is obsessed with major differences between those three. Essentially they are almost equal:

+ one tiny totalitarian elite totally controlling the wide majority keeping them in eternal poverty and dependence

It runs counter to the very basic human nature, so of course socialism in that form can never succeed unless a massive shift in technology and mental conditioning happens. And it certainly won't happen ethically whenever a predatory elite is at the top.

There are various strands of Anti-Authoritarian Marxism, such as Mental Environmentalism. The common thread between these strands is that both Capitalism and control by the State are rejected, and the target is Advanced Capitalism, a concept that came out of the Frankfurt School.

To my eye, this is who is currently attacking Silicon Valley, and the Cultural Marxists are just the Useful Idiots to achieve their end goal: making everyone unplug from the Capitalist Process to discover their 'authentic selves'.

So, whilst everyone can clearly identify the Cultural Marxists subverting all the tech companies - they easily attract attention - they seem to have missed the Mental Environmentalists subverting the Cultural Marxists to achieve their goals.

It's kind of hilarious. If you have tech investment, get the hell out.

Right around the time OWS was saving President Barry's bacon, some right-wing magazine pointed out there were two trajectories in socialism: the anarchist and the communist. The anarchist felt true socialism would be achieved by the masses without any restraints. You see them today in the little anarcho-syndicalist grouplets running around wearing black. The communist school of thought stressed the need for a "vanguard" to make sure the masses were taken care of and to ensure the academics had a place in the New Order. They were at the front for years in various communist parties all over the world, but time has not been good to them. Communists think anarchists are flakes and anarchists think communists are thugs.
