Bernie Sanders compares US 'oligarchy' to Russia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лют 2023
- US Democratic senator Bernie Sanders spoke to Sophy Ridge on Sunday about how there is "more income and wealth inequality in his country than ever before".
He compared the US to Russia, claiming that his country is becoming an "oligarchy", adding "vast wealth inequality across the US means working class people are struggling to put food on the table".
He also said the American healthcare system is designed to "make billions for the insurance companies".

He is a gem. Changed the conversation in 2016 but he’d been saying it since the 70s
He's a jew who supports killing the unborn and sodomy - abominations that cry to heaven for vengeance.
The big problem is that we are still thinking like people of the 19th century. Enough of Marxism and capitalism. They have also deceived us with that of "democracy", which is not the power of the people, but of politicians, companies, churches, etc. We need a radical change, like the Resource-Based Economy, like the one proposed by Jacque Fresco. There are no politicians in an EBR society, there are public administrators who are experts in what they do. They have studied administration, various engineering, mathematics, sociology, psychology, medicine, other sciences, etc., but none of them have studied political science or that thing that they now call economics and pretend it is a science, nothing could be further from the truth.
And he lost badly.

Now,he has me contemplating my political views. I'm a die-hard Republican,however I am very impressed with his views. He's articulate and consistent.
The trouble is, he brings people in by criticizing the system then votes 99.99% of the time with mainstream neocons/wokes and always opposes conservative attempts to reign in centralized power. He doesn't walk the walk.
@@lukeduke6693 LOL, what? 🤣😂🤣
He's been very consistent for a long time. Here's him on the Today Show in 1981 - ua-cam.com/video/OraxqbUjpHw/v-deo.html
@@Sempuukyaku what a compelling argument
What he seems to be missing is that he is a billionaire, and he as a congressman does not need to use medicare. He is a hypocryte.
Bernie's got a very balanced perspective. How anyone can think his views are extreme, whilst believing that the way things are is not is beyond me.
That's because a large portion of american views are extreme.
His views aren't extreme. He talks a good rhetoric game on domestic affairs though in the end he is the carrot on the stick to bring phony liberals who lack critical thinking into the corporate capture of the US state while he stays silent in the back row when it comes to action. Talking and action aren't the same thing.
Those who have a vested interested in keeping the status quo i.e. 1% billionaires own and controlling everything
would consider the working class who build society and generate the wealth having control and lions share of the wealth, is considered radical and extreme.
People in general aren't capable of a balanced perspective on anything. It's always one extreme or the other. Capitalism or socialism, liberal or conservative, left or right, it's always one extreme or the other. Instead of replacing one with the other, capitalism and socialism could be combined to produce socially responsible capitalism. Instead, the pendulum just keeps swinging back and forth between both extremes instead of reaching an equilibrium in the middle.
Seriously, in Europe he'd be described as a normal social democrat (btw, don't connotate that with American democrats, there's no connection here)

I am a Canadian , living in Eastern Ontario on the St. Lawrence River at Brockville . Bernie lives in Burlington Vermont , about one hundred miles east of my town . I think that living in Vermont , on the Canadian border has had an influence on Bernie as regards to our social safety net which is non existent in the States . Citizens there can lose all their savings and property due to medical debt because they had the misfortune to become ill or had someone in the family fall ill . What the hell is that ? If that doesn't sound like Orwell's ' Animal Farm ' where the 'Pigs ' are in control of everything , then what does ? A good interview by Sophy , who obviously likes Bernie and employed non of the usual attack dog tactics of the right wing media on him .
Glad to see that others from Brockville feel this way about Bernie, considering that most of the people around here are pretty conservative.
If Bernie Sanders becomes president of the US, then Canada risks becoming America's Ukraine! Socialism leads to Putinism!
There were systems in place in the 60's that made sure that there were limitations to ownership and monopoly.
Limits on media corporate ownership, yes.
And, back in the day, the laws against monopolies were enforced far more rigorously.
Reagan destroyed those yes. And we have been tumbling down a hill ever since in a snowball effect picking up more and more problems along the way.
And large American corporations took advantage of economy of scale to beat smaller companies in Europe and Asia.

We had Corbyn here in the Uk, but as always the Mainstream Media attacked him from all sides and the people fell for it.
The only politician in my country I listen to. He truly cares about people, about human beings. It so sad that this evil world doesn’t care about humans who truly care about their wellbeing 😔
Bernie is absolutely amazing. Handled every question with ease - calmly and with class. As Bernie so thoughtfully explains, it is not radical at all to want workers to be paid fair wages, to fight inequality, provide health care and good education, to want peace in the world, fight hatred and protect the planet we live on! What is however, extremely radical, is to seek to undermine all of those things, as we see all the time with the radical right and billionaires that fund them. In other words, the real "radicals" are on the right, not the progressive left.
"to want peace in the world, fight hatred and protect the planet we live on!" . Such vague words
Lol . Words have meaning.
Radical means changing the system
Not one right wing politician has ever proposed anything radical . Conservative.
Amazing how foolish people can get

@@silencemeviolateme6076 That's the point. He talks ... but nods everything the oligarchy wants
Thanks for having him, we need to talk more about Taxes and the difference between taxing working class (income tax) Vs owner class / super rich (wealth tax).
As a dual UK/US citizen who knows everything about US politics and life, I was truly startled to move to the US last year and see the Market Concentration in each sector that Bernie speaks about. It really is true that it seems that in every sector, some 2-3 companies basically dominate about 60-80% of the market share leaving any sense of competition or price controls in rear view mirror. I'm a free market capitalist like anyone else but left unchecked there is no threshold they won't cross. I don't support Bernies policies but that doesn't mean that he's not right on the money on that one.
Read some basic analysis of capitalist ecomomics by a German called Karl Marx.
I used to revere the "free" market but over time it became evident that most sectors have oligopolies and that this is the natural state of late capitalism.
We’ve entered a post-capitalist era. There’s so little completion. We only have a handful of banks, energy companies, supermarkets., media. They’re so big that they steer Governments to consolidate power. Quiet complicity maximises profits. Apply penalties and break the monopoly now.
I don't think it's big companies as much as buying cheap overseas products and selling them at a much higher price. That ruined small businesses

everytime I hear abt the UK NHS conversation, I've been screaming the same thing. don't look at us for a good healthcare model, we don't have one 😬😬😬😬
They’re tryna privatise the NHS like your healthcare in the US.
The tories have been causing most of the problems in the NHS over the last 13 years. That way when they say "we have no choice, we will have to sell it off!" (which they would love to do) people will accept it.
We do its just that successive uk governments have been underfunding it and trying to privatise it piece meal for years
Gotta ask yourself, why is it our healthcare model was in the top two in the world until Blair's PFI and then a decade + of Tory underfunding?
It all boils down to wanting to break down the NHS for profit!
It was fine before the Tories fucked it up.

The way my eyebrows rose up when she said that 😄
He is not radical. He is ultra-radical.
He wants to nationalize most American industries like Hugo Chavez. How out of touch does one have to be to not think that is radical?
She prefaces most comments with "some people might say" - she is trying to play devil's advocate for both sides, probably to avoid accusations of bias. I doubt she really thinks he is radical.
And yes, real change never comes from top down. Comes from working people organizing and applying pressure!
Actually change almost always comes from the top down. I recommend reading some Neema Parvini on this topic.
The group dominating all others easily dictates the public consciousness. When we had a wasp elite culture reflected their values and mourned their historical sufferings. With a Judaic elite, we collectively adhere to their sensibilities and obsess over their historical sufferings, their villains are our villains, etc. Change will only come when a different group seizes power at the top. A new culture filter changes our perception of normalcy and history.
The data backs this up but it causes people a feeling of powerlessness so as an idea its never popular.
So true, Katie.

Bernie always points to Scandinavian countries as the model but they only exist under the protection of the US tax payer. Otherwise they'd be like everyone else and spend vast sums on defense instead of social programs.

The American Sheeple have been convinced that any effort to redistribute wealth equates to communism/socialism, and that's somehow bad for them. They'd rather have billionaires flying over their heads in private jets and spacecraft, than enact laws that might be called socialist. I'd vote for Bernie Sanders in a heartbeat, and hope that from the bully pulpit he could change the narrative, if not the actual system. The oligarchy in America is too firmly entrenched to be undermined by a single, clear-thinking politician.
Look at how they simp over billionaires like Elon Musk, Bill Gates (to a lesser extent), etc.

As Bernie said: "It is good to know some history...Invasion by Russia is not an answer; neither is intransigence by NATO," Sanders said. "It is also important to recognize that Finland, one of the most developed and democratic countries in the world, borders Russia and has chosen not to be a member of NATO."
"Putin may be a liar and a demagogue, but it is hypocritical for the United States to insist that we do not accept the principle of 'spheres of influence,'" Sanders went on to write.
"Does anyone really believe that the United States would not have something to say if, for example, Mexico was to form a military alliance with a US adversary?" Sanders asked.
"Countries should be free to make their own foreign policy choices, but making those choices wisely requires a serious consideration of the costs and benefits," Sanders added. "The fact is that the US and Ukraine entering into a deeper security relationship is likely to have some very serious costs - for both countries."
Nato is trash

Yes, that's why I voted twice for him
I love Bernie. I'm actually happy he said that about Scotland. Honesty the process of secession and statehood needs to be changed internationally. When Scotland wants a referendum, UK Supreme Court should not be the arbiter on that process (its biased) like international law outlines today. That process should be sent to the United Nations and the United Nations should send in OSCE observers (and possibly peacekeeping forces) to oversee a credible referendum on Scotland's independence referendum. Having a neutral international organization to oversee these things allows both sides to recognize the results of how the referendum plays out. It's crazy how its the most moral thing to do yet every country is against it for its own interest. It kills the facade of democracy.
Senator Bernard Sanders, the champion of working class Americans 🇺🇸 the current lion of the senate, I am proud to have voted for this man! We need to elect more working class leaders!
Her repeatedly saying radical left is grating
I have a lot of respect for Bernie Sanders he speaks truth.
I think if he had become president the world would be a much saner place
Sanders may be a one note pony (or maybe a few notes), but they're important notes and no one has listened to him while he's been singing those notes since the 80's. Taxing the hugely wealthy isn't just a catch phrase. He means it. And it would have a massive positive effect on society. It's mind blowing that so many people who would benefit from his policies are so resistant to them. It just shows how thoroughly the conservative political parties have brainwashed people into voting for parties that actually do them harm.

She doesn't appear to know her subject very well! Bernie doesn't compromise, and thank God for that!
I loved it when Bernie was talking about media control on a Murdoch channel. Ridge was quite charitable in this interview because Bernie doesn't pose a threat to the status quo. Quite a contrast to the hostile interviews given to anyone from a similar left position in the UK (e.g., Corbyn).
yet Corbyn is the UK's Bernie equivalent with many of the same policy ideas

The goal is never equality. The goal is to ensure the vulnerable are cared for and there is an abundance of opportunity. Fair is not equal and equal is not fair.
Right on sir. Few people can handle truth,they prefer to absolve their sins with well-sounding,well intentioned half truths that if implemented,would bring more ruin and misery than the system they are trying to ammend. Most argumentation against the rich is based on the venal detestable sins of envy and jelousy. Its very hard for some people to accept that others are better off than them,thus the hatred of "enequality" . The poor will always exist in some form,and to put a limit or cap on personal wealth and achievement is backward and proven to be a recipe for systemic poverty.

@@gdiwolverinemale2745 Prove me where he is lying
@@eonesoundsuk He preaches socialism, but he is a multimillionaire. $15 minimum wage was his campaign promise, but he refused to pay his own staff that amount. Look it up. That is just the beginning of everything he is lying about. Happy now?

what is he lying about? Name one thing ....
I wonder how Elon Musk is progressing with his private army.
It's true, he seems to want to be the Prigozhin of the US. He's going to end badly if he keeps his BS going.
:D
@@acchaladka Yep. He will be selling hot dogs on street corners pretty soon.
Only army musk would have is an army of astranaunts
i love how he literally says he is not comparing US oligarchy to Russia but the title of the video says he is. lmao
“Hmmm, I wonder why nobody asks me who blew up Nordstream “
There's a reason this man has never been given much power in the government. He's right about too many things.
the irony of this being on sky news
It's wild to me that there are those in the US that view Bernie as radical left, as he says these are just sensible, fair policies. Truly an inspiring figure, I desperately hope US politics can shift towards what he's calling for.
Lucid statements.
