Here in the US can demsocs (like Bernie) and their policies actually help us? Or will it just put another bandaid on a bleeding empire and keep us content for a while longer?
Obviously we should all have national healthcare, etc. but does that weaken the contradictions by allowing a social safety net like that?
I'd argue that bernie is a social democrat, not a democratic socialist, because he just wants to patch up capitalism, not transition to socialism.
That said, I'm not American so others would know better than me, but I think bernie's policies would help people, at least citizens of the US, and give credibility to socialist ideas
