Socialism is not treated fairly in media

quote:

Sunkara claimed Stein was wrong, because socialism was really about “freedom,” explaining it as the “freedom” to allow government to make your choices for you.

And just like that, CNN's ratings dropped lower than overnight infomercials.

The bullshite propaganda never stops with these people.

It would be an enormous help to have a free press to call them out on obvious bullshite like “Enslavement is freedom.”

As if stolen from the pages of 1984. That's where we are.

It left Bernie free to cut all of those staffers after the $15 / hr wage was implemented.

You have to admit that there has never been an election where the GOP is openly calling the Dems a bunch of socialists.
The Dems have two ways to counter:
a. We are not socialist.
b. We are socialist, but it's good stuff.

There is too much evidence for 'a' to work. They have to go to 'b.'

So... Soviet residents had the freedom to grant Stalin the freedom to slaughter them!

That’s freedom y’all! We need that kind of freedom here!

I like it. I really do.

This overwhelming and comprehensive Indoctrination is really a sight to behold. We are really approaching North Korea-levels of Indoctrination and Propaganda.

IMHO, we have surpassed the levels seen in the old Soviet Union.

And with regard to Big Brother Surveillance, I do believe that we have surpassed anything now or in the past in history, because everybody is on their phones at all times and every move on there is surveilled .

Have you ever read the English translation of the USSR national anthem? It's all about 'land of the free!'

A large percentage of the left feels this way, which is the very reason why those of you who think we aren’t on a crash course for a national split are incorrect.

I want no part of a country that feels the government speaks a single word for me; and I’m certain the opposite is the case for progressives.

I for one appreciate when the left makes known its ideology; it educates the masses and hastens the inevitable.

Principled libertarian hank will be along shortly to white knight and explain how they were actually correct in what they said.

If that is freedom, I'm voting for slavery.
