> [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > Because “Socialist”. It’s right there in the name. And add to that “National Socialist” like Bernie wanting the Federal government having more “National” control. So I guess you think catfish are really part cat, part fish? National Socialism is completely different from socialism and national control. Heck, the socialist part was basically propaganda, as socialism was big then. Hell, I’ll just quote Wikipedia: > [@](#): > > The term “National Socialism” arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of “socialism”, as an alternative to both internationalist Marxist socialism and free market capitalism. The Nazis sought to achieve this by a “people’s community” (Volksgemeinschaft) with the aim of uniting all Germans as national comrades, whilst excluding those deemed either to be community aliens or “foreign peoples” (Fremdvölkische). It rejected the Marxist concept of class struggle, opposed ideas of class equality and international solidarity, and sought to defend private property and privately owned businesses. It was nationalist–in the way that Trump is nationalist–i.e. anti-foreigner. I have seen no sign that Sanders is not internationalist, though. ---

It’s probably silly to ask this at this point, but is there any actual moderation issue here that still needs to be discussed? ---
