print“Be it Hillary or burn-the-wealth Bernie—both agree that it is up to them, the all-knowing central planners, to determine how much of your life ought to be theirs to squander.
Democratic socialism, under which we already labor today in the USA, turns on Karl Marx’s maxim, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” Sanders’ idea is the unnatural notion that the government is entitled to seize a portion of your income; that it has a lien on your life and on what you acquire in the course of sustaining that life.” (“Burn-The-Wealth Bernie & His Partial Enslavement System”)
The college students who support Sanders should demand their tuition back. They’ve been taught zero about economics and history.

Socialism means government ownership of the means of production. Sanders says he doesn’t want this. So why does he call himself a socialist?

Establishing socialism means massive theft of the property of the owners of the means of production.

Socialism cannot be established except at the point of a gun, since otherwise property owners will not turn over their property.

Establishing socialism requires the communists. The communists are armed robbers prepared to commit murder.

Socialism is incompatible with political freedom. If the government owns the newspapers et al., nothing can be printed without its approval.

Sen. Sanders advocates paid family leave and free college tuition. He thinks he has a moral right to spend other people’s money.

Will Sander’s next step be to call for free food and free rent plus a 20-hour week, paid for by [blankout]?
— George Reisman (@GGReisman) November 18, 2015
Making people pay for others’ free college tuition or free family leave against their will is an act of enslavement.
