His fans know that, that's what they want. They are either too young to understand the real world, too lazy to work, too uneducated to grasp history and finance, or lack the common sense to accept historical facts about the evils of communism and the failures of socialism across the world. They'll get it eventually when they grow up and begin contributing to society. Back in the late 1960's the New Left had the same ideologies; most of them grew up.

Socialist’ I define from the word ‘social’ meaning in the main ‘social equity’. A Socialist is one who serves the common good without giving up his individuality or personality or the product of his personal efficiency.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif]Our adopted term ‘Socialist has nothing to do with Marxian Socialism. Marxism is anti-property; true socialism is not. Marxism places no value on the individual, or individual effort, of efficiency; true Socialism values the individual and encourages him in individual efficiency, at the same time holding that his interests as an individual must be in consonance with those of the community. All great inventions, discoveries, achievements were first the product of an individual brain."[/FONT]
plus capatalism is still a large part of the system imo

I said socialism is a failure, and communism is evil. Social security is a long-term failure, especially as life expectancy increases, people pay less into the system, and the government constantly misuses/mismanages it (ie., using it for purposes other than investments that roll back into the social security account). People should have the right to do with their money as they please.
Don't confuse social welfare (SSI) with social security benefits (OASDI) either; they come from different funds, though it may seem confusing at first. SSI comes from US Treasury fund and OASDI comes from SS trust fund. People who have not paid into it receive social welfare, which is a form of government assistance based on minimal wage - each state has their own guidelines on who is eligible and what the benefits include. Social security benefits are for people who have paid into the federal system. Those are pensions, disability insurances (based on taxes paid prior to disability), and survivor benefits. An indication of its downward spiral is that they have to keep pushing back the age to collect. Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and maybe early Millennials should be fine. Later born Millennials and younger will most likely be receiving smaller pensions than they were forced to pay into. Further generations...we don't know yet. Another example: In the military right now they are discussing removing social security pensions from veterans even though they also pay into federal social security.
My point is, SS taxes are only taken from those who pay into the system, and only go back to those who pay into the system. It has nothing to do with the poor and disabled. Even if it is only 6% of our monthly earnings, people who work should be allowed to do with their money as they see fit. It's basically forcefully borrowing from people, and then giving them back less than was borrowed.
No because the Nazi party is anti-Semitic and socialist and Trump is an ardent capitalist and supporter of Israel. Bernie Sanders however is a member of the socialist party, and espouses ideas that coincide with communism. While he pretends to like the idea of democratic control, he seems mostly interested in a single party rule. He and his supporters are very similar to Bolsheviks who started as the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. I imagine you know how that turned out.

Social Security is the most popular program in the history of the U.S. So much of what you said does not reflect the opinion of more than 85% of the people in the U.S.

As for its "failure", which you are grossly exaggerating, economists have stated over and over again that it can be fixed by raising the cap on taxable wage income.
The most recent annual report of the SS financial status shows that Social Security is fully funded until 2034, and after that it is about three-quarters financed. The DI Trust Fund will be able to pay full benefits until 2023, and the retirement fund alone will be adequate into 2035.

Its total cost is now about 5% of the national economy, or GDP. That will rise to about 6% when all of the baby boomers are retired. That increase, 1% of GDP, is less than the nation’s increase in spending for public education when baby boomers were children.
There are over a hundred different policy proposals from lawmakers to address this fix. It's not so much as not knowing what to do, but rather acting sooner than later. If legislation is made before 2023, Social Security will be fine.

You literally made all of this up. Never has he said anything about single party rule. He believes in having Palestine and Israel separate. He has spoken out against Netanyahu and the violence committed by them. All he says is that he believes Israel has a right to exist as a country.
“If we pursue justice and peace, we are going to have to say that [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is not right all of the time,”
“The policy that Israelis shoot people is unacceptable. It is wrong that the United States provides arms to Israel,” Sanders told students at the University of Vermont. “We are not going to be the arms merchant for Middle Eastern nations.”

Oh and here is "Marxist" Bernie Sanders talking about Commnism. Time to grow up.

could you be any more stereotypical? You got conned by a con-man. Hard.
Hillary isn't president and isn't relevant to this discussion. You're the one clearly obsessed with her as a go-to excuse for anything this clown does to your government.
