Marx on Sanders

So Bernie just came out with yet another book. I guess being a millionaire with five houses and a six figure salary for a do-nothing job isn't enough. Here is his latest book:

It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism

A progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status qu…

Aside from being rich, Bernie is also very stingy when it comes to his own money:

And yet compared to her fellow 2020 progressives like Sen. Bernie Sanders, Warren’s the Oprah Winfrey of the Democratic field.

In 2016, Sanders donated just $10,600 of his $1 million income — around 1 percent — to charity.

To summarize, Sanders is a secular Jew who got rich via capitalism and he still wants more and more money.

Here's Marx:

What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need, self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.

It's a perfect fit.

Oh nice. I wasn’t aware of this book. I’ll have to check it out now!

Did you just use an anti-Semitic quote from Marx to attack Bernie?

It's not as anti-Semitic as it appears. We are all self-interested, and a big part of the population worships money. The huckstering part is an insult, but what a perfect way to describe what Bernie does.

I forgot to ask, doesn't Bernie's hypocrisy bother you?

He's literally a rich, greedy capitalist.

So Jews are hucksters huh?

He did indeed.

It is possible he just doesn't understand it. That poster seems to have some serious blind spots comprehension-wise.

It's funny listening to Bernie speak, especially about this book and tour. He has made a wealthy living off of the American people and basically calls everyone else a greedy this or greedy that. Just own up to it Bernie, the Capitalist system has been very good to you and you don't mind using it to your advantage.

AOC, I generally agree with your posts but not this series of posts. Yes, Bernie is a rich, greedy capitalist. A hypocrite of the first order. But why link these traits
to the fact that he is Jewish? There is no reason to do it. Bernie has the same lack of self awareness that Al Gore has. Gore traveled around in a private jet giving
speeches about global warming. He would then return to his 10,070 sq ft mansion that used 34 times the energy of the average american household, all the while
lecturing the great unwashed to cut down on their already meager energy consumption.

The Gores’ home is certified by the US Green Building Council as a Gold LEED certified home for retrofitted homes. As part of the LEED certification process, they upgraded their windows, lighting, appliances and insulation, among other items in and around the home […] The residence is powered with a geothermal system as well as 33-solar panels. The Gores also participate in the "Green PowerSwitch" program offered by their utility [company].

Do you have anything to back this up? Or is it just a feeling you have?

I am poking fun at the OP author and his replies. Hence the /s.

No. I like when people that agree with me politically are in positions of power. I want leftist cops. I was leftist CEOs. I was leftist generals. Leftist presidents. Etc.

It's more about Bernie being a huge admirer of Marx and at the same time being something that Marx himself would despise. Regarding the traits in the Marx quote, huckstering is really the only negative one, and I consider that to be fairly mild.

That the anarchocap zealot with reality comprehension issues, willful or otherwise, is also a blatant anti-Semite doesn't surprise me.

You realize that is antisemitic nonsense right?

 

[aociswundumho]

You realize that is antisemitic nonsense right?

Of course, but Marx didn't think so.

 

[NolanVoyd]

Of course, but Marx didn't think so.

So what. Marx was an antisemite..

So are you apperantly.

 

[aociswundumho]

So what. Marx was an antisemite..

He was also a racist, and yet the political left still luvs him.

Why does Marx get a free pass?

Why does an obvious hypocrite like Bernie, who preaches socialism yet practices capitalism, get a free pass?

So are you apperantly.

The political left doesn't love Marx.

stop lying for christs sake.

Why does Marx get a free pass?

He doesn't.

Why does an obvious hypocrite like Bernie, who preaches socialism yet practices capitalism, get a free pass?

He made his money from salaries and selling books. He also thinks working class people should get a fair shake.

Nothing hypocritical about that.

 

[aociswundumho]

The political left doesn't love Marx.

Now that's ridiculous.

stop lying for christs sake.

He doesn't.

Yes he does. Here is his wikipedia article:

Karl Marx - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Not one word about his racism or his antisemitism.

He made his money from salaries and selling books.

For his nearly his entire life Bernie had a relatively low net worth, even with the six figure salary from his do-nothing government job. Only when he became a capitalist and starting selling books did he become rich.

He also thinks working class people should get a fair shake.

He's been in the federal government for over 30 years, what exactly has he accomplished for the "working class"?

Nothing hypocritical about that.

 

[Artymoon]

The people he calls out as greedy are greedy

There's a name for calling out others as greedy when you yourself are...

 

[NolanVoyd]

Now that's ridiculous.

No it's a fact. Who told you liberals love Marx? They lied to you.

Name an elected Democrat that anyone has ever heard of that embraces Marx.

Yes he does. Here is his wikipedia article:

Re read my post. you got lost.

He doesn't get a free pass.

Every liberal here has condemned the antisemitism.

For his nearly his entire life Bernie had a relatively low net worth, even with the six figure salary from his do-nothing government job. Only when he became a capitalist and starting selling books did he become rich.

Good for him.

Nothing wrong with selling books.

He's been in the federal government for over 30 years, what exactly has he accomplished for the "working class"?

Tons.

His siluccess in the primaries alone lead to policies that help working people
