Rand Paul: Sanders will have to defend the violence of socialists like Stalin

[Torie]

Rand didn't get the memo that the term Socialism long ago lost its literal meaning. The government typically does not own most of the means of production, it just regulates and taxes those that do more heavily and redistributes the dough, to create more equality in outcomes. I don't think Bernie wants the government to own auto companies, and tech companies, and the like.

We really do have a rather sad cast of characters overall running for POTUS this time. It's very disappointing.

We know TNF will defend Stalinism. He already said he would like to see Republicans and Libertarians in gulags.

An option that is slowly starting to appeal to me.

Then you hate freedom of speech and hate the idea of democracy too.

Bernie's self appellation as a "socialist" is hyperbolic and inaccurate, but then if he gets flack for it, it's kind of his own fault.
