Who benefits from the government buying 50% overvalued shares? And when these companies inevitably fail, why should half the cost be socialized?

    It's not buying it, it's seizing it. That's means taking by force, you don't pay for that. Try reading.

    The US is a bourgeois state, this is not the working classes siezing it but the capitalists collectively.

    It wouldn't even happen under the current government. Republicans and liberals are too afraid of what they call government overreach.

    Bernie isn't a capitalist, I think y'all are wayyyy overthinking this one lol

    Bernie is a social democrat, which sides with capital over socialism.

    How does social democracy affirm capitalism over socialism? By maintaining private ownership of the means of production without transitioning to a dictatorship of the proletariat. How is Bernie a social democrat? By holding to reform over revolution, and siding with the US over overthrowing it.

    The working classes, I don't see the immediate relevance.

    My point is the "revolution" you are gesturing to isn't there.

    The working class right now doesn't work together, Bernie and people like him are trying to get them together, but you needlessly nitpicking doesn't do one fucking iota to a revolution.

    Anyway left is better, and no that doesn't include neo libs and their obvious attraction to the right.

    In order to actually organize, it's important to align in an actual working class political party. Bernie is working within the Democrats and not supporting actual movement away from them. I am not "needlessly nitpicking," revolutionary strategy requires building up a revolutionary org like PSL.

    A lot! They've been spearheading a lot of the anti-war and anti-ICE protests, help run community drives and organize tenant and worker unions, and have been growing a revolutionary organization with trained cadres. This is exactly what a revolutionary org needs to do, organize the working classes.
