The Bern Knight Rises

Im not American so my POV might be blurred or wrong, but Youtube is popping all over my reccomendations Bernie Sanders interviews, all of them new, from these few days after the election, and I've founded it a bit weird.

Think about it, Sanders and the media have been completely silent about his candidature since he got out of the race, which is normal; but the speed with which the liberal media has retaken Sanders is suspicious, I have a hard time seeing it as a "coincidence". What I see is an attempt from the liberal media, the left-wing DNC lobby and the liberals in general to try and put back Bernie in the leadership of the Democrats. They saw the failure Clinton was, and now they are taking him in order to try and regain some support.

Right now Sanders appears to have the same soc-dem, almost revolutionary speech -in Burgerstan, obviously, in any Euro country he would be like any other SocDem- he had when he was in the race; but, for how long will the democratic elites will let him keep it? Is he an independent actor or is this all a play to get back popular support back for the DNC?

Discuss.

If you've been watching a few, Youtube's just trying to pander to what you like.

He is fucking loved by millennials who are tired of getting fukt by literally everything and are now the largest voting bracket.

Right, that's why he got less votes than Clinton. Face it, your old, frail, inferior Jewish Comrade will never be President. Never. As a matter of fact, this little "revolution," aided by the likes of him, has actually antagonized millions to the Right. Sanders can stay in his eternal cuck shed where he belongs. And you should hope he does. Should his army of homosexuals, transsexuals, feminists etc. speak on his behalf like they did months ago, it'll only push more to the Right. Leftists are a joke. Your ranks consist of ghetto negros, impoverished Hispanic border-hoppers, homosexuals, transsexuals, thin-limbed cuck-porn-loving white man-boys, and psychotic, irrationally emotional, unstable white women. Super threatening!

Hi Holla Forums. You're referring to SJWs. They're not Leftists and we don't like them either, but for different reasons. I was one of those "antagonized" to the right which you speak of until I realized how shit the right was. Not wanting to go into SJW arms I found out that SJWs are just a cancer sitting over a grander ideology.

When did Holla Forums become a leftist board?

SJWs are Leftism incarnate. They're the result of Leftist propaganda and the tool Leftist authoritarians use to garner power every single time. To claim they're not Leftists is to claim water isn't wet.

Why are you here, on the first place? I mean you clearly dont enjoy our companion and you dont agree with us on the slightless.

we all know the Holla Forums party-line, you don't need to repeat it

I'm bored.

...

I'm sorry to inform you that these are non-compatible categories.

The left, that is: the branch of politics which opposes contemporary ruling politics in history, predates the phenomenon of 'social justice warriors (more specifically: the New Left and its post-modern and liberal branches emerging since from the late '70s). There is no just thing as a 'the left' which agrees on a single thing, except only one thing: a general opposition to the status quo. In other words, this means that while the SJW bogeyman exists on the left, it is far from its exclusive member. It is not mutually in unison with the rest of the left, nor is there even a consistent goal the entire left shares.

Educate yourself on subjects such as these to embroaden your vision on them, as well as the world as a whole. It is much more preferable to parroting things you do not grasp.

Leftists care about Class over most issues. Whilst I'd argue that the vast majority of us don't necessarily disagree with most of the core messages at the heart of SJW beliefs (equality between genders, anti-discrimination laws for transsexuals, anti-racism) it's not front and center, unlike how the Liberals like it.

The reason as to why it's stupid to claim that SJWs are Leftist is because to claim so would be to fail to understand that identity politics divide the working class, meaning they're less likely to band together to fight back against the Bourgeoise. I'm putting this in pretty simplistic terms here, so I hope I'm not losing you.

The common Holla Forums argument for SJWs defaults to "frankfurt school" and "cultural marxism" without explaining why any sane Communist would consider the inane concept of trying to control the "culture" of a country as a tangible method of unifying the proletariat and seizing the means of production.

So the Bolsheviks of Russia weren't Leftists? Mao wasn't a Leftist? Their radicalized, irrational hoards, identical to SJWs, who came from similar social backgrounds as SJWs, weren't Leftists? You're just like feminists and their strict adherence to the definition of feminism as a defense actual the real world actions and consequences of feminism.

They were.

He was.

They all, to various degrees, are a part of the left wing of liberalism, yes.

What did he mean by this?

It's really not hard to understand if you use your noggin. The Bolsheviks, Mao and the New Left and its various offspring are all a part of the left, yet do not all share the same ideas and views on everything, if at all. Conversely, neoconservatives, fascists, Christian theocrats and Islamic fundamentalists are all a part of the right wing of politics, yet also do not share the same ideas and views on everything, if at all.

I don't see how religious beliefs translate into political ideologies. As for "Fascism," I'm of the belief that it too is Left-wing. As far as Leftists go, their end goal is always the same whether intended or not–authoritarianism; hence why I term Fascism as Left-wing.

Define Fascism.

then you know fuck all about politics

oh, ok
that makes sense

...

They do not of themselves, but by virtue of the understanding of what religion means to an ideology and its ideologues. Christian theocrats long for a society based on a conservative reading of the Bible; one which reasserts the authority of God and his words (through his interpretors), largely aspiring to recreate the interpretations used to sustain the social and ethical fabric of society as we knew it before the rise of secularism. The same applies for Islamic fundamentalists.

Explain yourself. While fascist currents like national 'sociaIism' did their best to pass themselves as the 'turd position' – reaching beyond the supposedly false dichotomy of progressive left and conservative right, it has done very little to come much closer to the left than social democracy minus democracy on nationalist steroids (see: document related).

Furthermore,
eerily resembles feels > reals politics, where you're ignoring the historically established field of left and right because it doesn't suit your worldview or because you are consciously being ignorant to sell us your ideology.

Clarify yourself again, because unless I'm not mistaken, the end goal of communists would be a stateless and moneyless society, whereas for a social democrat the end goal is a capitalist society where Keynesian interventionism patches up capitalism's inherent inequities, or with the New Left it's a complete disregard for the economic dimension and instead a fight for equalizing sociocultural issues. These are in practice and rhetoric once again completely different (see: again).

Yes someone who sold out in 2016 will totally not do the same thing in 2020 when the Hispanic version of Obama comes along.

Bernie Sanchez for presidente!
