What does antifa and sjws even mean?

I don't think you know what fascism is. You could really benefit from learning what fascism actually is before commenting further. Enter the links below:

How did what I say translate to I don't know what fascism is? The assumptions and conclusions posters have made in this thread are mind-boggling.

Reread post 94. It truly doesn't sound like you know what fascism is. Maybe you could better explain your views in your posts to eliminate confusion? Thanks bud

According to the right, Bernie Sanders wants to turn America into Venezuela or North Korea. They have no concept of Democratic Socialism found in most of Western Europe or Scandinavia.

Again, you need to know your audience Dala. At least 30 percent of this country simply ignores facts and thinks that Canada's health care system sucks. I recently had a conversation with an obvious Trump supporter who sincerely asked, "What's wrong with treating health care as a commodity? Those who work for it can get it." He further added, "In Canada, everyone is supposed to get health care whether you work or don't and that results in higher taxes and long wait times so no one ends up getting health care."

At some point we just need to admit that inbreeding and Fox News have taken a toll on a large portion of America (mostly in the rural parts of the country or racist Confederate south). No amount of education or debating facts will convince stupid closed-minded people of their ignorant opinions.

You and Bernie need to stop with that nonsense. He is not a democratic socialist! Socialism is an economic system. The word means something quite specific. It does not mean the implementation of social programs. It doesn't. At most you could call Bernie a social democrat but certainly never a socialist of any kind.

Check out this link. It's not a perfect explanation but it is a short read

Of course you don't recognize that you don't know what fascism is. I provided you with two links. Educate yourself. Don't be lazy. And don't bother responding to this post until you've thoroughly read the links I provided. Stop wasting my time

Wrong.

Democratic socialism is known as both a political ideology and economic system creating the Nordic model that Scandinavian countries use today. I think it's important for Americans to learn about these forms of government. Too often we assume anything to the left of Fox News as being an endorsement of Communism equating Denmark or Finland to the USSR, North Korea, or Venezuela.

No you are wrong those are social democratic nations. There is a difference. Those countries are still capitalist nations. A major tenet of socialism is the collectivist ion of the means of production. Calling the Nordic countries socialist is silly. They are capitalist nations with a heavy dose of social programs.

I agree that the Scandinavian countries are more accurately called social democracies. Still, Bernie does self-identify as a democratic socialist. He catered to and was supported by the Democratic Socialists of America which is an activist organization to the left of what are commonly called social democrats. Here’s their website:

Even though his heart may be with the democratic socialists, as a practical matter, Sanders campaigned to govern as a social democrat or, in American terms, a modern version of a New Deal Democrat. He actually cribbed many of his economic ideals from FDR’s 1944 State of the Union speech, the high water mark of the New Deal.
