    You are in .ml, of course they would advocate for someone further left than Bernie and AOC no matter how implausible their ideas are.

      implausible their ideas

      Ideas so implausible a country of similar size to America, China that follows our ideas on how a country should be run actually has a surplus of housing issue they have literally built too many houses and have no one to sell them too as 90% of people in China own a house.

      So implausible.

      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.
