    The plutocrats want a Democrat Party that's hates working folk and loves gay activists: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...paigns-for-gay-marriage-idUSTRE81508120120206

    The corporate media want to divide the people: https://www.mediaite.com/online/nbc...diting-george-zimmermans-911-call-apologizes/

    The elite want to keep their ill-gotten gains and bomb Middle Eastern nations and kill off working folk:

    You won't get any joy with Trump. See, for example, his calls for increased military expenditure. "Make America Great Again" is mere nationalistic jingoism to maintain a right wing corporate ideal.

    Trump opposed Bush II's Iraq War. Trump also opposes open borders, a policy beloved by our corporate overlords.

    Trump demonstrates no coherency. Let's not play pretend. Take Iraq. He's made a load of stuff up to convince the gullible, but when asked by Stern whether he supporting the war he came out with the earth-shattering comment “Yeah, I guess so.”

    Friedman didn't say neoliberalism was an issue, just freedom versus statism. Do you understand?

    Friedman wouldn't use the term, but he certainly was a major figure in generating it. I will admit, however, that other figures were more important. Friedman's failed monetarism didn't help his relevance!

    question is not whether he was a major figure in generating term statism but rather is there a good argument on the side of libcommie statism after it slowly starved 120 million to death? Why so afraid of the subject? Do you know?

    There is no such thing as libcommie as liberalism and communism are, by definition, mutually exclusive. You're like a kid in the playground trying to make up swear words.

    I don't care if you want to continue referring to a nonsensical term. You just show yourself up.

    you should tell Hillary as she fancies herself a liberal and Bernie himself a communist. they endorse each other not mutually exclude each other. 1+1=2. See why we say liberalism is based in ignorance?

    I'm sure they both know, like all other people with a resemblance of political economic knowledge, that liberalism and communism are mutually exclusive.

    Only out of political convenience. When the war actually happened he was pro-war whimp

    See why we say liberalism in based in ignorance? Is any other conclusion possible?

    Norman Thomas ( socialist presidential candidate)
    The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

    You delivered the sentence! And it actually fits, given the whole point is that libcommunism is a cretinous made up term.
