Laissez faire capitalism is virtually indistinguishable from blanquiism, except for the fact that there is no vague promises of eventually trickling that power back down to the proletariat at a future point in time where the "winner" determines we're finally "ready for it"

Bernie's argument is that we are either AT, or VERY CLOSE to that conjuncture and he has some validity in that argument.

The question is, where do we go from here? It semms capitalism has not, yet, determined the "winner" but its very well on its way there. Those on the right who are not of the sub-group of racist alt-right believe that widening the scope of anti-trust regulation is in order, but they are also very concerned with rooting out the corruption within the DNC, GOP, and self-interested seniority of labor unions because any attempt to do so, within the current sociopolitical environment will not lead to an equittable solution because of the self-interests of those holding the power at this time. Its important to denote that NEITHER senator sanders, OR president Trump are democrat/republican. Senator Sanders is an independent. Trump for most of his professional career outside of politics flirted with both Democrats and Republicans alike. We saw how the DNCs corruption ousted Senator Sanders in the last presidential primaries. We saw how the GOP tried to do the same with Trump to make way for their preferred candidate, Jeb Bush. The GOP failed to oust Trump. You allowed the DNC to oust Senator Sanders.

Now, in the aftermath of Trump absolutely disrupting the intended outcome of the last election, those in the running to become the "winner" of the biggest game of Monopoly weve ever seen are screaming, crying, thrashing and vehemently frothing at the mouth to get him out of office with a 24/7 news campaign designed to do so. Why do you think this is the case?

[Throndor]

If you haven't noticed, my message has been rather consistent throughout the past several days' dialogue. When referring to Senator Sanders I've went out of the way, several times, to include his formal title denoting the respect that he has earned and deserves. Likewise, when referring to President Trump, i've made attempts to afford him the same respects. I've used controversial verbiage, but using that verbiage was not done so for the sake of insult, rather as a catalyst to drive a deeper message.

The Bush's, paul ryan, john mccain and several others on the right should be in that picture as well.
