I had a discussion with some Right leaning friends the other day who were calling me out about being a Social Democrat, which they equate to being a Communist. Which automatically includes banning all guns and purveying a Soviet Russia style purge of undesirables. My point to them is that we can have both/all. We can have Socialism to some degree without murdering anyone and we can redistribute wealth and stuff without anyone giving up their rights and guns. We *can* have it - we have the resources to feed, house, cloth, educate, medicate, *everyone* without murdering or restricting.
But not if .01% insist on having 10KX what a "normal" person has.
Being a Socialist/Social Democrat doe not equal being a Soviet stye Communist. We can have guns and prosperity and Capitalism and all that good stuff. But not if we allow .01% to screw the other 99.9% out of their existence. We need to work on having a fucking dialog instead of all the Hate and reliance on what was done 100 years ago.
If Bernie and his Minions want to further the Revolution (I'm one of them) we need to relay this fact that being "armed" is good for people. Why are we, Right, Left, and otherwise, vilifying tools? This is counter productive to the ultimate message that shit has to change and it does not automatically mean "banning" or restricting anything. Including weapons or whatever.
