That's

I'm pretty sure that the liberalism in the center is classical liberalism as opposed to progressive liberalism.
I'm also not sure about putting Catholicism on the right.

BTW…what’s unsuccessful about being in Congress or mayor of NYC? You seem to be confused or maybe resentful here?

I was chuckling as I wrote it. Gwenyth’s vagina candles? C’mon…!
And the bias or ineptitude of your new sources is shining through. Dem establishment is apoplectic over the incursion from the left. They are throwing money at and endorsing washed up or aged out candidates like Janet Mills. You could even say the same thing with Biden and then Harris. The Dem civil war is raging.
Lastly, can you crawl up the ass of failed neo-liberalism any further? Do you have any idea at all of the impacts of monopolies and political power consolidation. We’ve been seeing it in real time for most of my life right through to today and the broligarchs.
Go neo-feudalism!![]()

There is no doubt that there is a Donk Civil War, and it is beautiful, but Schumer and other 'mainstream' Donks endorsed Platner and others like him. These people are trying to play both sides and look ridiculous doing so.
I'm so sorry the the market economy and capitalism hurts your feelings so much. Maybe you would be happier in Cuba or North Korea. I hear both have great health care and schools.![]()
So now there’s no doubt of the civil war?
Is this you?
Schumer and Dem establishment backed Platner only after Mills gave up. So about a month? Otherwise they were opposed to Platner. They’re corporatists just like the conks.Surprisingly, the Donks are more than happy (for now) to let them take over.
I hope that you’re joking about Cuba’s healthcare and education.
Capitalism has been very good to me. Market economies are great when they’re properly regulated and operate on a level playing field that protects competition from monopolistic practices. We used to have one of those.
Realistically though, we have a mixed economy like every other successful nation on earth. Thought you might like to know.

It was a joke. No matter what their propaganda says, Cuba certainly does not have first world health care nor education.

Re: When socialism comes to America..
Americans — including many Republicans — are losing faith in capitalism, polling shows
But the larger story in American politics right now might be less the rise of socialism than the decline of faith in capitalism and economic fairness.
And new polling reinforces that even the right is growing more disillusioned.
A recent Fox News poll echoes Gallup data from last year in a key way: It shows views of socialism improving modestly, at best, but views of capitalism dropping more significantly.
...
You'd be hard-pressed to find data that better speaks to Americans' apparent growing disillusionment with our economic system.
And that's hardly the only data pointing in this direction:
Given all of that, it's easy to see why candidates promising to overhaul the economic system — whether that's labeled socialism or something else — might have increasing appeal to American voters.
- Fewer than half of Americans say capitalism is working even "somewhat" well — down from 60% about a decade ago, according to a June Wall Street Journal-NORC poll.
- 61% of Americans said they were bothered "a lot" by the feeling that the wealthy don't pay their fair share in taxes, per a Pew Research Center poll in January. That included 41% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents.
- The same poll showed another 60% overall — and 42% of Republican-inclined voters — said the same about some corporations paying their fair share.
- And views of big business went from 19 points positive in 2012 (58%-39%) to 25 points negative last year (37%-62%), according to the Gallup data.
And it goes a long way toward explaining how, despite socialism and democratic socialism remaining pretty unpopular, some of the politicians who have polled best nationally happen to be democratic socialists.

The point is Mamdani, Bernie, the DSA and the like DO NOT want mixed economies. They don't want Scandinavian styled mixed economies. They want planned, state controlled economies. They want Communism without the authoritarianism (allegedly). The problem is the only way to achieve their goal is through autocratic means.
