He's right. In a declining capitalist state like the current US, workers want change. In the absence of a genuine working class party that correctly blames capitalism and the capitalist class for a revolution, you get a "radical" capitalist-funded party that at least points the blame at someone — marginalized people.
The dems only offer to preserve the status quo, and no one fucking wants the status quo.
Get organized. Liberal democracies in the imperial core historically always slide to fascism.
Any example at hand of these liberal democracies that hystorically always slide to fascism? What does imperial core mean?
It's an interesting ending to an otherwise fine comment. Bernie would slide the US towards liberal democracy, further from fascism
Imo, that fact that people voted and vote in the USA doesn't mean that USA isn't a fascist country. Just look at how bullishly they waged wars, and made millions of people suffer torture, pain, abandonment. They're the epitome of "me ne frego!"
Yup, many auth/fash/totalitarian/oligarchies/etc hold elections which don't matter
