I went to shitty public schools and spend all my time reading about communism instead of US government. Anyway I got to thinking about how some liberals say communism isn’t possible in the US, but is democratic socialism even possible? Would a president like Bernie Sanders actually have the power to implement any progressive policies or would they just get blocked? It feels like no part of US government has any legitimacy any more other than the military because it makes the oligarchs money. So I find it hard to believe an old guy could just completely change our economy when trump wasn’t even able to build a wall.
The one who actually was able of implementing progressive reforms, huey long, was murdered by his political enemies. Even FDR was almost killed in a assasination attempt. Fucking JFK got his brains splattered because he wanted to cut CIA/FBI power. If you have power on the US and you try to use it even if just a little against the sistem, you get cutted out by the sistem.
