What do you think about Kabulshit Biden's $3.5trillion AOC/Pelosi wish list spending plan?
You have to add the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Pck. and $3 trillion in mandatory entitlements to that total. But his liberal protege's are still trying to figure out how WE (you and I) are going to pay for all this, and they want re-elected in 2022... Joe really is enjoying spending your money with his new unlimited credit VISA card you gave him this past January.

Banana republics are also CONTROL freaks and generally are as well capitalists behind the scenes. Ferdinand Marcos is a good example. Pure capitalist, a lawyer who built up an economy and ran away with the money as soon as he could!
@DeWayfarer No left winger supports commercialism. Bog standard liberals, sure but they are just diet right wingers. Leftists are a different animal entirely.
@DeWayfarer Again, Bernie is a liberal, not a leftist. Like these idiots that claim Denmark is socialist 🤦♂️.
The USA has not had actual leftists in politics since the hippie generation and sadly even most of those groups were 90% FBI plants. I think at one point the Communist Party of the USA was 95% FBI confidential informants. The USSR had nothing on the USA on infiltrating opposing ideologies. What makes it kind of funny is the far left basically saved capitalism in the 30s with Roosevelt. The purges started in earnest in the 50s and never stopped. Even here in Canada the first Marxist elected to parliament was jailed so he could not take his seat and everyone left of the likes of Justin Trudeau were under RCMP (like the FBI) surveillance till about 92.
@DeWayfarer The only reason why someone like Bernie seems like a leftist is because America has shifted so far right among the political elite that Pat Buchanan is seen as a liberal and Ronald Reagan would be a commie pinko in the current GOP and even segments of the Democratic Party.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Bernie wasn't always so "commercial" guan ho. And that's why he is labeled as extreme left.
It's also why he never got nominated as even a candidate before. He didn't do commercials. "Grass roots" campaigning was his thing long before this last election.
@DeWayfarer He is labeled extreme left because if the US goes any further right it will bump into the ghost of Mussolini.
That is interesting but doesn't change the fact that anywhere outside of the US there are conservative politicians further left than Bernie including in Canada.
Steven Harper the most right wing Canadian PM in modern history was to the left of Obama.
