    The idea is not popular or supported by the majority of Democrats. The only reason the story still has legs is the Republicans are feeding rhetorical propaganda to the echo chamber.

    The left is slowly inching close to “from each according to his ability to each according to his needs”.

    That is not America. If you want a society like that, then please leave.

    Not really.

    The "GND" is pretty much the same ideology expressed in "The Great Leap Forward".

    All she needs is a "Little Green Book".

    How so?

    "Implement what I want or we all die in 12 years".

    Of course, what she wants to implement will cost well over $9 trillion a year.

    Explain to me again how us giving the government every penny of money we make is different than giving them all the grain we produce.

    That's because you're unable to do so, as it's exactly the same thing.

    Hey. Give her chance; killing fields aren’t made in a day. Certainly the New Green Deal is as viciously and muderously insane as Pol Pot’s. So, give her time; she might make it.

    Generally speaking there are some people on this forum who are either a) so ignorant of both history and/or politics or b) are trolling, that they are simply not worth the effort.

    The big lie you are telling yourself is that the current socialist agenda being put forward involves mass killings - Pol Pot Style.

    Extremist rhetoric - such as what you are putting forward - is not the solution.

    The second lie you tell yourself is that Red Establishment does not love socialism - at least the wealth redistribution aspect - even more than blue.

    Well, you can say that, but I know the truth.

    The truth is, you can't defend your own argument, because you know I'll destroy anything you try.

    But sure, I'll let you save face.

    Socialist agendas always lead to mass killings.
