To be clear, AOC's and Bernie's ideas don't seem to have a real path to implementation. Marxists aren't idealists, we are practical and are Materialists, and part of that practicality is understanding that policies can sound good, but without a path to implementation they might as well be ghosts, even if they are more moderate ideas.
Funny how their "marxist" ideas are and have been implemented in Europe for 80+ years.
I didn't call Bernie or AOC Marxists, rather they are Social Democrats. I myself am a Marxist-Leninist and am speaking as one, hence "we." Social Democracies in the Nordics are built on Imperialism, that's how they sustain themselves, and only have the privledges they do because the bourgeoisie was afraid of revolution like in Russia when it first went Socialist.
