Bernie Sanders Staffer: ‘After We Abolish Landlords, We Don’t Have to Kill Them’

Well, that sounds entirely reasonable. As reasonable as Bolshevik Bernie being the Democrat front runner. SMH .

Bernie Sanders Staffer: ‘After We Abolish Landlords, We Don’t Have to Kill Them’

By Joshua Caplan, Breitbart, January 28, 2020:

A Project Veritas video published Tuesday purportedly shows a Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) campaign staffer musing about a ban on private property ownership in the United States as an alternative to mass killings.

Story continues below advertisement

A man identified as Mason Baird, a Sanders field organizer in South Carolina, is seen telling a Project Veritas journalist that he believes a “militant labor movement,” working in tandem with a Sanders administration, should “strip power” away from capitalists.

“We would need a federal government and labor union movement that is working together to strip power away from capitalists and preferably directing violence toward property,” the man says. “At the end of the day, this kind of stuff will come out through practice, through the work and it’s hard for me to talk about it in the moment we live in, ’cause I think China today is not what Mao envisioned, right — it was through the practice of Chinese people doing the work to create the China today.

“So, it never – we’re never going – I think a lot of the stuff – a lot of these answers are going to come through practice – we’re going to try things – things aren’t going to work – we’re going to move on to the next thing,” he continues. “And we’re going to try to be as conscious and intentional about those things, but when you get into a certain level of detail, and depth, it’s like, that’s kind of my ‘cop-out’,  it comes through the work, you know. The answers come through the work.”

“It would, it’s gonna take, you know, it’s gonna take militancy, like a militant labor movement that’s willing to strike, and if necessary, you know, just destroy property and things like that,” he adds.

The man then turns his attention to landlords, arguing in favor of sparing their lives after they are eradicated from the system.

“After we abolish landlords, we don’t have to kill them, that’s my feeling. I think it’s damaging to the soul, but there were plenty of excesses in 1917 I would hope to avoid,” Baird says, referencing the Russian Revolution.

The Sanders staffer adds: “Labor, I think that’s a big source of power for us, and just try to gain as much leverage and power in the short time that we have. You know, Lenin didn’t have the Internet, they were a peasant society, and, I mean, it was like, so, you know, I would hope that, like, that we would – we’d have – we’d be doing a bunch of prep work before the capitalists got hip to what we were doing, I guess. I’m not excited about the prospect of armed struggle.”

In another part of the Project Veritas video, another purported Sanders staffer says he believes “plans for extreme action” must be made — even if his candidate becomes president.

“We have all this momentum, where do we go, regardless of the outcome, after it’s all over? Change won’t come easily, regardless. Even if Bernie is elected, change will not come swiftly or easily, so the connections we make now in the campaign with people, and volunteers, it’s important we retain that regardless of the outcome,” says a man identified by Project Veritas as Daniel Taylor, a Sanders field organizer in South Carolina. “It’s unfortunate that we have to make plans for extreme action, but like I said, they’re not going to give it to us even if Bernie is elected.”

Bernie supporters are taking on the same role as the Red Guard during China’s cultural revolution. Another hallmark of communism is the abolishing of private property. Mayor DeBlazio is all for that and I suspect Bernie is too as long as it doesn’t apply to him.comment image?cb=1481274847

I had a Marxist professor at UCLA on-loan from somewhere in the UK (Scotland’s Edinburgh University I believe). He made everyone analyze literature from a Marxist perspective. He never had any issues w/the fact the dictatorship of the proletariat had never spontaneously withered away living everyone living each according to his ability each according to his need in some sort of classless utopia. I suppose he never read Orwell either.

It becomes a religion to them. They like to believe that Marxism just needs some tweaking and then it will work. Now we TEACH that in our schools and I am not exaggerating. They just call it social justice to eliminate income inequality. It sounds so fair and compassionate – they have no idea about what they are relly advocating or that it NEVER works.

Don’t “dog pile” Islam in with Christ and the Scripture’s unless you’re just plain stupid…..for most of us are not.

No – Marxist is Darwinistic in terms of “survival of the fittest” which both Stalin + Adolf believed and why killing millions + millions was no prob for them being Atheistic parasites = as with every one of the 20th century genocidal monsters.

Except the Islamist’s who believe their Satanic god Allah told their pedophile boss it was OK to lie, murder, rape, torture, enslave whole populations while beating their wives and geniitally mutilating daughters.

And the very same nuts want to bring in more illegals/jihadis who rape, assault, murder women !

They are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons

And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/libs-say-evil-is-myth/

Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

This sounds like the journalist is leading the interview into a negative place trying to get the subject to turn to a violent story line. The shocking part of this is the person doing the interview not the Bernie staffer. leading the interview, I can get almost anybody to talk about something violent.

There will be no more rental properties … So, no landlords to punish …
Just …….. 43 million former renters trying to buy … houses …
All the landlords will evict the renters, and sell the properties, or burn them down, or ??

In Socialism and Communism, ONLY THE STATE GOVT OWNS LAND AND PROPERTY, so all those rental properties would go to the Govt. All those Renters would have to go to the Govt to buy a house because no one person would be allowed to OWN THEIR OWN HOME. So that home YOU OWN would no longer be yours. Either the govt will say it is too big for you and move more people in OR they would just take it away from you and put in one of those LANDLORDLESS Apartments down by the railroad track. YOU WILL NOT OWN ANYTHING unless of course, YOU ARE GOVT OR YOU ARE RICH ENOUGH TO BRIBE THEM.

WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THEN PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I WILL GRAB OUR GUNS AND HUNT DOWN EACH AN EVERY POLITICIAN/DEMOCRAT AND SEND THEM TO GOD SO HE CAN SORT THEM OUT.

I worked HARD all my life to have a House of my own, paying it off with no mortgage. I will die where I stand before I ever allow ANYONE to take it away from you or I to give to someone else who has never EARNED IT. MY GUN WILL STAY IN MY HAND UNTIL MY LAST BULLET OR MY LAST DYING BREATH, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST!

NO SOCIALISM IN AMERICA!
NO COMMUNISM IN AMERICA!
NO DEMONRATS IN AMERICA!

DEPORT THEM ALL.

“After we abolish landlords, we don’t have to kill them…”

So – if those “landlords” have not been abolished they may get killed – that’s what this hired asshole Baird is telling us.
Which means nothing but that Sanders has no problems to hire potential terrorists/robbers/murderers.

Beside he is one of those sleazebags and scumbags and hypocrits who got rich through his position in politics – especially as a Democrat – on one platform with the most corrupt Biden clan.
Sanders is one of the best examples of a most dangerous wolf in sheeps clothes.

This is why these leftist governors are playing their cards. Disarm the citizenry of the state. Like Guv. Blackface Knothead in VA. They believe if they disarm the populace then they can control the populace. No knocks at 3 in the morning. Go to “detention centers” without due process. “Work is Good”. If they went ahead and implemented it in New England who is going to come to their rescue? PA is the only one. No population in Maine, NH or VM. NY, NJ? Right…VA already under assault. OH they have IL to the left. KY and TN are on the edge of these wacko laws. Red Flag and such. NC will fall like VA. SC? who knows. GA? AL MS FL? LA under assault I believe plus they have no qualm’s in taking your guns during an emergency like Katrina. Oh yes they did. If we split the rest of the world will applaud, as they tumble into depression, anarchy, death and destruction. But..but..but Bernie and his ilk say they can do it better than the the ones that came before them. If it happens it will not b pretty. The Devil will be urging the wickedness on. Whew…I am not one for long windiness but the thoughts just kept coming. have a great day

“China today” was built by Nixon introducing American free market profit or they’d be eating each other now as 10’s and 10’s of millions more would have starved with each decade since just like before with Mao.

WE gave them a chance to join the world which they wisely took us up on and conversely scared the Soviets 1/2 to.death = was a brilliant move by Nixon tho must be controlled as Trump is doing now- not handing them a free ride into super prosperity at American Peoples expense.
