Socialism [Truman said] is the epithet they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. Socialism is what they called Social Security. Socialism is what they called farm price supports. Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

A little challenge: please read and, without googling, post if these political goals sound reasonable to you:

All citizens shall have equal rights and duties.

Every citizen should have a job. Their work should not be selfish, but help everyone. Therefore we demand

The abolition of incomes unearned by work.

The breaking of the slavery of interest

So many people die or lose their property in a war, it is wrong for other people to make money from the war. Anyone who made money from the war should have all that money taken away.

We want all very big corporations to be owned by the government.

Big industrial companies should share their profits with the workers.

We want old age pensions to be increased.

The State must protect health standards by protecting mothers and infants and stopping children from working

We will give Parliament control over the entire government and its organizations;

Did you think that was somehow clever, using the ideals of the German Workers Party as a way of arguing against a Jew?

You are correct - if taxing this year's income does not make billionaires not exist more radical measures may have to be implemented. Historically totalitarian left starts with a program emphasising "fairness" and "social justice". When they take over power and economy tanks they start looking for "enemies of the people" within and the bloodbath starts...

Hmm? Historically?
Like when British colonists decided they’re tired of royal Brits taking all the profits, while settlers do all the work?

Or during the Great Depression, when FDR IMPLEMENTED A WEALTH TAX IN THE US?

Quote:

1014 (Aug. 30, 1935), raised federal income tax on higher income levels, by introducing the "Wealth Tax". It was a progressive tax that took up to 75 percent of the highest incomes (over $1 million per year.).

They appear to be generally consistent in direction and scope. The main difference is FDR was trying to fix a broken economy in which millions of people were destitute. Bernie has a great economy so what he is trying to address is anger of millions of people who are doing ok that others are doing better. I am a Trump supporter so can't count to 12, sorry
