When people like Bernie Sanders say that Republicans are already doing "socialism for the rich" by giving out tax cuts and bailouts, it dangerously dilutes the goal socialism. We want workers to control their own lives, not for the government to give us money.
I get the rhetorical usefulness of lines like this in an election, but equating tax cuts to "socialism" is the height of absurdity. If anything, the rich don't have "socialism" because they get government money, they have socialism because they own the means of production.
it’s a reference to MLK
Maybe your rhetoric wasn't connecting w/ people. If Bernie's rhetoric connected with people, enabling more people to envision a better world beyond Capitalism appreciate Bernie's work and then set out to push people further left instead of whining about his rhetoric.
Exactly. What's often called "socialism for the rich" is actually just regular capitalism.
we're not really at the stage of abolishing money yet so...
I mean, the US could abolition money tomorrow. Global economics isn't a Natural Physical Law, it's a human construct.
Heard. I think of Sanders' framing is meant to be a bridge. First we have to normalize the term socialism, take the Boogeyman out of it.
Think of it as remedial politics for a severely underdeveloped popular understanding. Maybe someday 
Actually I want the government to give me money, as well
