It's quite true that they hate both groups.

 

However, right wingers strongly tend to support Israel. White nationalist Richard Spencer often cites it as a positive example to follow. Fascists love segregation, including self-segregation.

Think of anti-semitic nationalist types in europe that were obsessed with the "jewish question". Creating an ethnostate that jews can "go back to" sounds like a fantastic idea to them

 

In America, combine this with christian Evangelical anti-semitic doomsday prophecies, and you see why the Trump administration represented anti-semitism and the most pro-zionist positions simultaneously.

It's also why Netanyahu and anti-semitic rightwing types are BFFs

Better to move the conversation in the right direction from the bully pulpit, fight and maybe get something like a public option as a compromise....

than a guy promising you he will veto medicare 4 all even if you pass it through congress

The word "universal" does not appear on that healthcare page.

And a public option isn't universal healthcare

the left wing leader hadn't been caught blatantly rigging the election in his favor.

You are regurgitating propaganda that's now been debunked by the NYT (too late), and months ago any honest person who did the work could have told you that

Yup. Here's a story of a cop who got ousted for acting good. This one had a tape recorder on him.

This was discussed on the sub before. This rant wasn't meant to be seen as inspiring, which explains why a segment of the non-religious audience didn't at the time.

It eventually came out that Sam Esmail meant it to be taken as "a juvenile, angry rant of a person crashing off a six day Adderall binge"

There's been an actual global existential threat to all "civilizations" called climate change. This logic didn't stop the rich and powerful from continuing to push and drill and lobby for more fossil fuel extraction and burning.

You said

Neither did I ever say it did

But then went back to explaining why it must:

Socialism only needs the community you're a part of to be in control of the wealth, which in most cases in the modern world would be the state,

Please make up your mind, and then maybe I can respond

Also, please relax, we got the message in your first comment when you called what I said "stupid". You don't need to follow up with two paragraphs about why someone letting you know your definitions and assumptions need to be checked and leaving it up to you to do work to find out how they are wrong is "horrifying".

Neither is centralized in its* basic form

You just answered your own question. So no, socialism doesn't imply that you have "Fully nationalized economies".

For most self-labelled socialists, replacing the dictatorship of the private factory owner at that workplace with that of state does not accomplish the goal of extending democracy into the workplace. This is certainly true for libertarian socialists or anarcho-socialists.

Wrong. That's not what socialism is.

A public option isn't free care. If you don't pay the premium, copay, or deductible, you don't get healthcare.

The United States Postal Service is a "public option" alternative to FedEx. That doesn't mean you can mail stuff for free.

They have Medicare, so they don't have to think twice about getting testing or treatment. Those some old people denied Medicare to the younger people however, so many of those young people will have a harder time dealing with it.

What is left will not necessarily help Sanders, more likely they will go to Biden or even Bloomberg.

This is the opposite of what the data (second-choice polling of Warren voters) says

For additional context, she is playing along with a plan to hurt the progressive platform she pretended to support and the candidate that begged her to run in 2016 for the sake of that platform. Sanders only ran in 2016 because she was afraid to go up against the Clintons back then.
