False. A socialist economy could provide both free school and free health care without imperialist action abroad. Example: Soviet Union.

There are virtually no references to Enver Hoxha in the article. B+.

Bernie is probably ok with Chavez and finds Saudi monarchy creepy but those positions are suicidal in American politics. If he got elected he wouldn't do much at all, which is actually a good thing esp. for American foreign policy.

sanders sent out a mailer explicitly calling chavez a dictator which is a little beyond quietly pining for his dick.

it's really funny to me that hillary clinton is going to win because people are just aghast that someone is calling her a cunt on twitter

Oh, no, Moore and some folks of his stripe will shoot back. I’d love to see a woman president. Just not that woman. Moore and other Sanders supporters would say, more precisely, not that corporate shill war monger etc etc. They’d insist that they’d be perfectly content to back another woman. But then, somehow, the years pass and that other woman doesn’t come along. Or she comes along and it turns out, wouldn’t you know it, that there are certain particular reasons to be against her, too.
...
The fact is that Hillary Clinton is the woman who has a good chance of becoming president. And the further fact is that her flaws, from the left point of view, are inescapably commingled with the very reasons that she happens to be in a position to be elected president. Like it or not, a woman has to “prove” she’s tough on foreign policy in a way most men do not. A woman, especially one who was a senator from New York, has to reassure the financial elites, a world of certain attitudes toward women and of ceaseless and tasteless female-anatomy jokes, in a way that a man just doesn’t have to. And so on, and so on, and so on. Many of the very things that make Clinton anathema to the left are exactly the things that have enabled her to become a viable presidential contender as a woman.

a common characteristic of these types of identity politics enthusiasts is their extreme projection. like they'll accuse black people who are critical of Obama of being "internalized white supremacists" and "token blacks" while ignoring that those phrases probably more accurately describe Obama himself. it's probably meant to preempt radicals pointing this out. as a rhetorical tactic it works quite well, unfortunately.

I guess the proper response is to call these people internalized fascists and token social progressives or somethin
