Which word better describes Bernie Sanders? (1 Viewer)

[SacramentoBob]

45 people (right now) don't understand what the word communist means...and haven't spent any time researching what Bernie stands for.

I'm pretty sure 10-90% of those votes are in jest. Do you really expect to get an honest poll (other than Who's Hottest) in the FFA?

Sounds like a good idea for a poll.

Who's Hottest?

Socialist

Communist

(disclosure: these were the first pics that came up on a google image search for hot socialist and hot communist. I can't attest to their true political affiliations)

The very existence of this poll further confirms that neoliberals have completely hijacked the word "capitalist."

To put this in perspective, this is like the Westboro Bapist Church utterly hijacking the word "Christian" and everyone else believing them.

yeah, no.....the words still have their meaning, but when asked to pick what he's closer to between the extremes, the results should be obvious. This isn't to say people would label Sanders a capitalist. He's not, but he's far closer to capitalist than communist. Take your issue up with the maker of the poll. It wasn't going to end well given the construction.

Was it one of the neoliberals who presented us with this false dichotomy?

Yes. But to answer flysack, we deal in shades of grey. Is Sanders more communistic when thinking of the root of the word, or more capitalistic?

If Bernie had his druthers in Burlington, VT, which would he lean more towards? There's a brilliance in this poll that some English teacher is pissed about.

Ignore him.

eta* Or, to put it more succinctly: Why did the radical Burlington professoriate want Bernie to run for mayor?
