It should come as no surprise that socialists are hypocrites and Senator Bernie Sanders is no different.  He likes to spend his time blaming capitalism and free markets for the 1% when he himself is a true 1%er.

Sanders has never actually created much of anything over the course of his life, other than the hot air he expels as he looks down on those who actually produce wealth in a country with a very limited (if any) free market left.  He may have written some books in which he bemoans the system that has allowed him to get rich, but Sanders is wealthy not just from his books, but off the backs of the taxpayers.  Don’t let him fool you – he became a millionaire in 2016.  He was rich because the government steals money from producers and gives it to him and other criminal hypocrites as a salary for being an authoritarian politician. And this was going on long before he wrote a book.

In the “Land of the Fee and Home of the Slave,” it isn’t uncommon for imbeciles to follow along what Sanders and other socialists proclaim.  They will jump and cheer if the government ever confiscates wealth from those who have worked hard, all because they have never actually created enough wealth to provide anything to society – other than the constant complaining about “the system” that keeps them down (the very system they want to be expanded and larger.)

Totalitarian millionaire, Bernie Sanders, who has infamously made income inequality a hallmark of his presidential campaign, earned with his wife about $566,000 last year and $1.15 million in 2017, putting them in the nation’s highest income brackets, according to tax returns released by the presidential candidate Monday. Sanders and his wife are officially in the top 1% of income earners in the United States according to The Washington Post.

Ironically, the money made from his book, which is a battle cry against freedom and free markets was only able to be successful in the teeny arena of capitalism the United States has left. Sanders is essentially using the system he rails against daily to get wealthy.  But it’s not like he wasn’t rich before – that was just money stolen from others who mostly made less than he did to be his slaves.

Sanders’s annual Senate salary is $174,000. Much of his income came from books he has written about his democratic socialist platform, which includes a call for higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans – such as himself.  Perhaps he should lead by example and give up 90% of his income to the government.

This should really not come as a surprise. After all, if socialists were logically and morally consistent, they wouldn’t be socialists.

The incoming Democrat-majority House of Representatives is eagerly pushing a so-called “Green New Deal” that socialists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders claim will benefit all Americans while supporting a healthy environment. But as Richard Sacks from Lost Arts Radio explains in a recent video he shared at Brighteon.com, the Green New Deal is nothing but communism repackaged with a new name.

While its proponents claim it will create a clean energy future for America, the Green New Deal is a total fraud, and is being used “by the tyrants who want to take away all personal freedom, and do all of this stuff in the name of climate change so that you’ll submit to global government, and all of this terrible stuff,” Sacks explains.

“It gets rid of all the nasty oil industry, right, so you don’t have any more dirty energy technology anymore, and it forces everything to be on sun and wind, which in its current state is a lot less efficient and it also still uses battery technology in some aspects of dirty energy,” Sacks adds.

“It’s also not adapted to many forms of heavy industry, heavy farm equipment, and a lot of other things that can’t easily run on sun and wind.”

The Green New Deal will put tens of thousands of Americans out of work

While the Green New Deal stands to put untold thousands of Americans out of work, particularly those that work in the energy sector, proponents of the plan claim that the government will just hire them to build solar panels and wind farms – which is neither practical nor feasible, seeing as how government money has to come from somewhere.

“If you make changes like that by force through government decree – that’s how the Green New Deal people think it should be done … first of all, you put all of these people in the huge oil industry out of work,” Sacks warns, going into further detail about how bankrupting a government by creating more debt is hardly the solution to America’s problems.

“There has to be more of an understanding of economics,” he adds. “You can’t just say, ‘well, everybody should just get free money,’ which is part of the Green New Deal. A guaranteed survival wage, or at least a guaranteed government-paid job, which, where do they get the money for that? Well, either going into debt, or raising everybody’s taxes.”

The Green New Deal is communism repackaged

Nearly everything that underpins the Green New Deal stems from tenets in the Communist Manifesto, which Sacks encourages people to read in order to gain a better understanding of what the New Democratic Party is trying to push on Americans.

“The idea was to overthrow the evil rich people, who they forgot to mention were supporting the entire structure of society and the rest of the economy, and steal everything they’ve got and give it to the wonderful people who don’t have as much money,” Sacks explains about the parallels between the Communist Manifesto and the Green New Deal.

“And people actually fall for this kind of nonsense, and all the people supporting the Green New Deal are part of that. They think they’re just going to create utopia, like all communist people do, and it always results in the opposite – except for the people in charge of it.”

The Green New Deal will eliminate health freedom

Another failed plank of the Green New Deal is its push for single-payer healthcare, which advocates of natural health know spells a death sentence for freedom of choice when it comes to healthy living.

“If you have the government involved in deciding what healthcare is … you see, they don’t just pay for it, they also decide what it is,” Sacks says.

“That’s really important to understand. So, if they want you injected with a toxic cocktail into your body, and your babies injected with these poisons … that’s a complete scam. The whole injection idea is a fraud.”

Socialist presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders reacted to the New Zealand gun ban by calling for similar ban in the U.S.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a ban on military style semi-automatic rifles, assault rifles, “high capacity” magazines, and certain gun parts. The Christchurch attacker had five guns in his possession at the time of his attacks, two of the five were semiautomatic.

Sanders tweeted in response to New Zealand’s ban:

Sanders’ tweet continues the promulgation of the myth that banning a certain type of firearm will make us safer. However, Department of Justice reports make two things clear: First, the 1994-2004 “assault weapons” ban did not reduce crime. Secondly, “Assault weapons” are not the gun of choice for criminals.

Breitbart News reported the Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice’s (NIJ) 2004 study showing the 1994-2004 “assault weapons” ban could not be credited with any reduction in crime. NIJ noted that one of the reasons the ban was ineffectual was because “assault weapons” were not actually a weapon of choice for criminals when the ban took effect.

More recently, in January 2019, the DOJ released a study showing handguns are the weapons of choice for criminals. The study looked at roughly 300,000 federal and state inmates, finding that 18 percent of them used handguns in the commission of their crimes while 1.4 percent used rifles of any kind. The percentage of “assault weapons” used would have necessarily been even lower than 1.4.

But Sanders and other Democrats want to ban commonly-owned semiautomatic rifles under the guise of keeping us safe.

If there’s one thing we know about Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, it’s that he loves breadlines… and Communists.

While Sanders didn’t quite make it during the 2016 election – arguably because he was robbed of his nomination by the Clinton campaign – Americans who believe in Constitutional rule of law, liberty and everything that makes this country great better wake up, because Sanders raised over $5 million within 24 hours of announcing his candidacy, suggesting that a massive segment of the U.S. population is supportive of what he stands for.

Well, they may think they know what Sanders stands for… The problem, of course, is that hardcore leftists reside in an echo chamber which has, through harassment and violence, shielded itself from any ideas or arguments that sit outside their very close knit, media supported narratives.

As an example, consider the following 1985 interview from Bernie Sanders.

During his State of the Union address President Trump warned Americans of the looming threat of socialism, much to the approval of the right and much to the dismay of the left.

What most forgot to mention is that Bernie isn’t your average everyday American socialist. He’s a straight-up Commie and loves the idea of Communism.

Watch him swoon over Communist leaders in this 1985 video:

And here’s the Left’s darling explaining his disdain for JFK’s anti-communist Castro stance:

For those of our readers who understands what this means for America, you might want to prepare yourself for breadlines and total impoverishment, because it’s coming should he or another one like him ever become President of the U.S.:

It’s funny that sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is because are lining up for food.

That’s a good thing…

Now, granted, we’ve taken that comment out of context. But likewise, Bernie has taken the argument out of context and attempted to create his own.

Because when we talk about the threat of socialist and communism, what we mean when we talk about “bread lines” is what’s happening in Venezuela, where people are literally eating stray dogs and cats to survive.

This is what a Commie bread line actually looks like:

In 2020, millions of Americans are going to vote for this man.

Anyone who speaks up against his socialist policies will be vilified for being an agent of a foreign government. How do we know? Because Hillary already told us their counter-strategy for combating the criticism that will be leveled against the extreme left:

As a final note, we must mention that the next election will see a media narrative that paints socialism as “a good thing,” just as Bernie Sanders noted in the video above.

They’ll refuse to call it communism, arguing that the two political and economic systems are completely different.

When they do that, be sure to remember this quote from none other than Vladimir Lenin himself, who was very much a supporter of bread lines, wealth redistribution and the disappearing of political opponents (including their families).

“The goal of socialism is communism.”

-Vladimir Lenin

Never forget: socialism is just communism-lite.

“I think the current occupant of the White House is an embarrassment to our country,” Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Tuesday morning in announcing he will seek the Democratic Party nomination for president a second time. Although not a member of the Democratic Party, Sanders ran a strong race for that party’s nomination in 2016, eventually losing to Hillary Clinton.

“I think he is a pathological liar,” Sanders said of President Donald Trump. “I also think he is a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, somebody who is gaining cheap political points by trying to pick on minorities, often undocumented immigrants.”

In addition to his overt dislike of all things Trump, Sanders said his platform for 2020 will include universal healthcare (paid for by the taxpayers), a $15 minimum wage, and reducing student debt. In other words, a repeat of the socialist agenda he championed in his last presidential run.

Some political experts expect as many as 20 Democrats (if you count Sanders) will seek the Democratic Party nomination next year, even more than the 18 Republicans who sought that party’s nod in 2016. Five senators, in addition to Sanders, are entering the fray, including Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobucher, and Elizabeth Warren.

Sanders has some advantages — and some disadvantages — in comparison to his previous bid. He now has almost universal name recognition, always an advantage for a politician seeking any office. When he launched his campaign in 2015, he was at only three percent in the polls. Hillary Clinton was the presumed Democratic Party nominee, and few Democrats even dared to oppose her — even Vice President Joe Biden apparently saw it as hopeless.

Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, recalled the difficulties they had to overcome then, as opposed to a second run in 2020: “I think he has an opportunity to create a much more robust campaign infrastructure than we had last time when we were all running around, trying both [to] do a campaign and build the organization at the same time. So, there were a lot of unknowns last time which I think are known this time, and that does create a big difference.”

One big difference this time, however, that will work to Sanders’ disadvantage is that he is no longer the only alternative to Clinton. As Trump’s victory in the general election powerfully demonstrated, there are many Americans who simply do not like Hillary Clinton, and will vote for just about anyone running against her. The fact that Sanders garnered millions of votes in the Democratic primaries can partly be attributed to the fact that he was not Hillary Clinton.

Certainly, his brand of unadulterated socialism unfortunately does have an appeal to a large segment of Americans, especially in the Democratic Party. But, in 2016, when Clinton was asked to explain the difference between a Democrat such as herself and an avowed socialist such as Sanders, she really could not delineate any differences. In contrast to Sanders, Clinton may have appeared to offer a non-socialist Democrat choice, but there was little substantive difference.

This time, however, Sanders is not alone in espousing an overt socialist agenda. Weaver argued that this will rebound to Sanders’ credit, because he brought the progressive agenda to the Democratic Party. The again, multiple Democrats seem to be opting to drop the mask and come out as socialists, as well, reducing the chances that the 77-year-old Sanders can claim a monopoly on that designation. (Readers should note that “progressive” is largely just a more acceptable word for socialism.)

“He really has an established record,” Weaver insisted. “If he were to run for president and if he were to be successful, you know, people will have confidence that in fact he will follow through on the policy agenda that he has articulated for decades and decades.”

That is no doubt true, and is the very reason that Americans who value limited government and the free enterprise system will reject Sanders.

During his TV debate with Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in October 2017, Sanders took offense when Cruz compared Sanders’ model nation of Denmark to Communist Cuba. Cruz quoted Ronald Reagan, who noted that the guns on the Berlin Wall all pointed the same way — against those who wanted to escape communism in East Berlin. He then added that the rafts were also going one way — leaving Castro’s Cuba — but no one got on a raft to escape to Cuba.

Sanders took umbrage, telling Cruz not to compare Denmark, a socialist “democracy,” to a totalitarian system such as Cuba.

But Sanders has also lauded Cuba, praising the late Communist dictator Fidel Castro for that island prison’s universal healthcare system and its regimented education system, which he said he would like to see implemented in America. Besides that, Sanders was a member of the Young People’s Socialist League in college, and he even flirted with communism itself, even taking his honeymoon in the old Soviet Union. Then, in the 1980s, Sanders was a featured speaker at a celebration of the Marxist Sandinista’s government in Nicaragua.

In regard to Denmark, Sanders insisted that Americans would be quite willing to pay the higher tax rates paid by that nation’s citizens, if only they knew about all the free stuff they would get in return — healthcare, education, daycare, and so on. Under grilling from Cruz, Sanders reluctantly admitted that all working Americans would pay higher taxes under his plan.

Sanders also strongly supported the continuation of the estate tax — which Cruz called “the death tax.”

But Sanders did indicate there was one area of the federal budget that he would be willing to cut — the military budget.

The unsettling thing about Senator Sanders’ run for president is that he now seems to be “mainstream” in the Democratic Party.

How closely does the agenda of the Democrats and the modern-day Left match that of Karl Marx and the Communist Party? Almost perfectly, believe it or not.

During a recent episode of The Issue, available at REAL.video, host “Ghetto Man” discusses the first plank of communism: the abolition of all private property.

It’s something that the Left of today is also pushing for in the name of “equality” and “fairness,” borrowing a page straight from the Communist Manifesto.

Even Marx, who’s regarded more as a socialist, emphasized how disallowing people from owning land and personal property is the first step towards implementing communism in a nation.

“Karl Marx said if he could sum up communism in one sentence, it would be: ‘abolition of private property,’” Ghetto Man explains.

Listen in for yourself to hear how what’s happening in the United States today under the guise of “progress” is just communism with a fresh veneer:

Private property and person are one and the same

The reason why the right to private property is so important is that private property is “an extension of the person,” according to Ghetto Man.

This is also how private property is delineated in our nation’s founding documents – our founders recognizing that private property is key to individualism as opposed to collectivism.

“The first and greatest property right is the right to own one’s self,” says Ghetto Man. “A conscious thinking human being in charge of his or her own destiny, unhindered by any human authority.”

“The right to self-ownership is the foundation to all personal freedom and wealth. The right to acquire property is an extension of that right.”

To try to remove private property from the equation, as many of today’s leftists now advocate, is to try to remove the right to one’s self – to completely eliminate the idea of an individual in favor of a collective or a “herd.”

Without private property, people become slaves to government

It might sound nice in theory – the idea of universal equality and no wealth disparities. But equalizing everything as part of a socialist or communist format turns people into slaves of their own government.

No longer do individuals have the right to work, earn, and create on their own. Instead, they become beholden to handouts from the government – turning individuals into serfs, and government into their master.

This is essentially the platform of failed presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, whose socialist ideals represent exactly what Karl Marx wished to see implemented on a global scale. The leftist Democrat agenda as a whole embraces this as well, pushing communism using fresh terminology.

“We don’t have private property ownership in the U.S.A. anymore,” contends Ghetto Man. “Instead, we have allowed our servant federal government to take complete control of all private property and state public land in the United States.”

Communism has simply been rebranded as “globalism”

One such term is “globalism,” which is really just communism rebranded. It’s the idea of shedding all borders and nationalities and becoming “one” – which is exactly what communists throughout the ages have been trying to implement globally.

“Isn’t that what we’re seeing and hearing right now?” asks Ghetto Man, referring to the leftist rhetoric of today that’s merely communism with a new cloak. “We call it globalism.”

This is precisely why the nationalistic agenda of President Trump is so upsetting both to leftists and to “neo-cons” on the right. It aims to backtrack away from communist and towards the freedom that our founders intended – complete with borders, the rule of law, and a unique culture just our own.
