That...|||I'm not sure that even that metaphor is applicable. Marxism calls for the eventual dissolution of government. Yet your points of 'federal government taking over student loan industry' and obamacare...|||As far as I know Bernie doesn't advocate Workplace democracy or Common ownership (which is what this Noodle guy was talking about). Nor does any candidate or party in your elections advocate that. ...|||I don't know? Did he say who he voted for? Was there a candidate that espoused his viewpoints in your election?    Who is this 'they', and what does that have to do with marxism?|||I don't understand. What has that got to do with the democrats?|||I was with you up until that last part. Marxists?
