How does social democracy affirm capitalism over socialism? By maintaining private ownership of the means of production without transitioning to a dictatorship of the proletariat. How is Bernie a social democrat? By holding to reform over revolution, and siding with the US over overthrowing it.
Taking back half of their stolen profits seems like a step in the good direction though. Let’s seize their assets, starting with the half here, and then close them down.
Edit: If the downvoters want to tell me where I’m wrong, I’d be glad to be corrected.
Fifth amendment to the constitution states: “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation” meaning this proposition is straight up unconstitutional unless they amend it to pay. And i assume Bernie do know constitution of his own country so i have no clue how he proposed it like this unless it is to stir a shitstorm about “seizing” and then amend it as “compromise”.
i dont like ai companies and their data centers, what else? lol
And Bernie is against that?
Who benefits from the government buying 50% overvalued shares? And when these companies inevitably fail, why should half the cost be soialized?
It’s not buying it, it’s seizing it. That’s means taking by force, you don’t pay for that. Try reading.
The US is a bourgeois state, this is not the working classes siezing it but the capitalists collectively.
It wouldn’t even happen under the current government. Republicans and liberals are too afraid of what they call government overreach.
Bernie isn’t a capitalist, I think y’all are wayyyy overthinking this one lol
Bernie is a social democrat, which sides with capital over socialism.
Give an example of how.

He’s not talking about seizing anything
He wants to take over 50% of the companies without paying them. If that’s not seizing then I don’t know what is.
