I support him in so far as he is leagues more socialist than the vast majority of his peers in the democratic party. But ultimately, yeah, he's not likely to support a total overthrow of the capitalist institution in America. I think he'd rather America more closely resemble the Scandinavian countries politically. Honestly, I think opposing him in achieving that is kind of foolish. It would objectively improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people. It would be a path forward, and in many ways, it is a foreseeable path, one that I don't think is impossible.
I'd also support a general strike and an outright revolutionary uprising, though. Capitalism is and has always been the problem. Doing away with it in its entirety is the right thing to do. Human life shouldn't be for profit. The fruits of production should be shared fairly among all. The progress achieved by science and engineering should be a collective boon for all of humanity.
the democrats don't agree and have proved it in 2016 & 2020
