Trump\u2019s 2020 election strategy is to connect his potential Democratic opponents with \u201csocialism.\u201d Trump plans to use this attack on the Democrats even if Senator Bernie Sanders, who proudly calls himself a \u201cdemocratic socialist,\u201d doesn\u2019t become the presidential nominee (Sanders has been decisively re-elected in Vermont).\n\nSenator Elizabeth Warren is distancing herself from the socialist \u201clabel.\u201d She went so far as to tell the New England Council \u201cI am a capitalist to my bones.\u201d\n\nSanders and Warren are not what they claim to be. They are both updating Roosevelt\u2019s New Deal and more closely resemble the Social Democrats that have governed western European democracies for years, delivering higher standards of living than that experienced by Americans.\n\nThe original doctrine of socialism meant government ownership of the means of production \u2013 heavy industries, railroads, banks, and the like. Nobody in national politics today is suggesting such a takeover. As one quipster put it, \u201cHow can Washington take ownership of the banks when the banks own Washington?\u201d\n\nConfronting Trump on the \u201csocialism\u201d taboo can open up a great debate about the value of government intervention for the good of the public. Sanders can effectively argue that people must choose either democratic socialism or the current failing system of corporate socialism. That choice is not difficult. Such an American democratic socialism could provide almost all of the long overdue solutions this country needs: full more efficient Medicare for all; tuition-free education; living wages; stronger unions; a tax system that works for the people; investments in infrastructure and public works; reforms for a massive, runaway military budget; the end of most corporate welfare; government promotion of renewable energies; and the end of subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear power.\"\n\nhttps://nader.org/2019/06/27/trump-invites-debates-over-omnivorous-crony-capitalism/
