Politics is a numbers game, and as socialists we want as many people on our side as possible. This week, we, your humble hosts, look back into our own personal political journeys from Berniecrats to Marxists, and analyze what helped us to reach the level of understanding we have today. We find it's important that socialists use our own experiences and formative moments to lead others to a richer, class-based understanding of politics.

With all the hype from American politics, especially from Berniecrats, the new political question is what does democratic socialism mean? In this episode, Jared, Michael, and Raymond have an in-depth conversation about the nature of democratic socialism. They lay out the history of the idea of socialism, the bad versions, the good versions, and all the negative stereotypes. More importantly, they shed light on the difference between revolutionary socialism and democratic socialism--this is the key distinction between Communist China and Denmark. In a follow-up episode, the hosts will focus on Bernie Sanders's version of democratic socialism and how it compares with Elizabeth Warren's capitalist...socialism??? Anyways, if you want to learn more about political philosophy and the current context in American politics, then we welcome you to this conversation on the front porch.

Joshua Copeland, founder of Local Berniecrats, discusses the need for bottom-up political revolution and sheds light on how progressives can best influence the political system by seeking local office.

Victor Tiffany – Bernie Or Bust: Will Berniecrats “Bust” the DNC?Aired Tuesday, 3 September 2019, 5:00 PM EST / 2:00 PM PSTInterview with activist Victor Tiffany, author of “Bernie Or Bust: Pioneers of Electoral Revolt”“On class warfare: The war on poverty is over. The poor people all have surrendered.” — Swami BeyondanandaIn the wake of Hillary’s DOA campaign for President in 2016, there were two conflicting “autopsy” reports. Those who supported Bernie maintain that Hillary was such a turn off that many disgusted young voters stayed home, voted for Jill Stein, or even switched teams to vote for Trump. (Yes, I do know some who voted for Bernie in the primaries, Trump in the general election.)Then there are the Hillary supporters who are enraged at those who failed to rally behind Hillary, laying the atrocities of the Trump regime squarely at the feet of the “Bernie or bust” crowd.Maybe instead of asking, “Who’s right?” we might want to ask, “What’s wrong?”Berniecrats maintain that the 2016 election was a forum on the status q uo, and Hillary and neoliberalism represented the status quo that put 40% of Americans one paycheck away from financial disaster, and put the middle class on the endangered species list. These people maintain that Bernie could have and would have won in 2016, because he offered a welcome change. He stood for something, and he actually activated a movement. He represented those of us who were fed up with the corporatocracy and oligarchy.And now, as we get ready for the 2020 primaries … the Bernie or Bust folks are out in full force. Our guest this week, Victor Tiffany, who calls himself a political revolutionary literally wrote the book on Bernie or bust … in fact the book is called “Bernie Or Bust: Pioneers of Electoral Revolt” and lays out what he calls IRIS (Independent Revolutionary Integrated Strategy) that explains why some key groups of voters would vote for Bernie, but not recycled Hillary, like Biden – or even Elizabeth Warren (who incidentally endorsed Hillary during the 2016 primaries).Victor has an MA in the Social Sciences from Binghamton University, was active in the nuclear freeze campaign in the 1980s, and after the Citizens United v FEC decision he became active in the movement to amend the Constitution to overturn that and all related decisions. He became senior columnist for the Amendment Gazette, and wrote for the Syracuse (NY) Progressive Examiner. While studying the illegitimate Supreme Court decisions that granted the rights of individuals to associations and established the doctrine that money spent on electioneering is protected by the First Amendment, he became aware of how far from the Framers’ vision the United States has become. He resides in Danby, NY.While most Democrats I talk to – and even some Republicans –say the most important goal of the 202o election is to remove Trump and Trumpism from office, Victor maintains that electing Bernie is more important than stopping Trump.Whether you agree or disagree, or whether you’re agnostic on the topic, this will surely be a lively and enlightening conversation this Tuesday, September 3rd at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET. http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/To find out more about Victor Tiffany and Bernie or Bust, please go here: https://citizensagainstplutocracy.orgOne more thing… How YOU and WE Can Make a DifferenceHave you noticed that regardless of which of the two political parties you vote for, neither of them seem to be willing to confront Monsanto and agribusiness?

Episode 46 of Boss Hog of Liberty is available now! Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined this week by Chase Peyton making his grand return in the fourth chair. Jeremiah went to the boys sectional game in New Castle and performed an undercover mission for this week's show. Dakota spent some time at Norris English Pub and even received a free glass! Our featured guest is Dave Ring. Dave is one of two Democrat candidates seeking nomination to run for the District 26 State Senate seat. From Albany, IN, Dave owns and operates The Downtown Farm Stand in Muncie, IN. Dave is a self-described “Berniecrat” meaning he sides heavily with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. We discuss the issues that Dave has faced running a campaign without money from special interest groups or corporations, and what it's like to run outside of the establishment. He feels the people of District 26 deserve choices and the guys could not agree more. Jeremiah and Dakota run through the list of issues that are on the Dave Ring website and the solutions he would propose. A lot of time was spent on CAFO's and furthering regulations, gerrymandering reform, CBD oil/medical marijuana, and the opioid epidemic. Finally, Chase Peyton runs us through a sports update and explains his new look. Dakota reveals that there will be big news coming from the County Council this week, and Jeremiah reminds everyone to buy tickets for the Area 6 Libertarian Convention.

In this episode, I deliberate over whether we should allow immigrants in our country and what Obama's social media outcry shows. After that, if the Bernie wing of the Democratic party is more trouble than it's worth, the role of the media, and the debate over universal healthcare.

Recorded live, Saturday, May 20, 2017, at the California Democratic Party convention - Capitol Weekly editor John Howard talks with The Nooner's Scott Lay about the bitter battle over the party chairmanship between establishment Dems and "Berniecrats." Inspired by the candidacy of Bernie Sanders, the left wing of the party surged in activity during the 2016 election and has continued to agitate for progressive causes. More moderate Democrats - often longtime party officials - have caught flak from the base for their more measured approach. Kimberly Ellis, in an upstart effort to replace John Burton as party chair, narrowly lost to 25 year party vet Eric Bauman, who was seen as a shoe in only months ago. John and Scott discuss the atmosphere at the convention and what all this means for the party in California, and DC.

TOPIC: With the DNC electing Tom Perez over Keith Ellison, some Berniecrats wonder… is the Democratic Party is a lost cause? Many who were energized and engaged by Bernie Sanders blame the Democratic National Committee’s treating Sanders campaign like an opposition party for the fact that we’re now living under a fascist regime. These “Berniecrats” hoped establishment Dems would take Bernie Sanders’ advice by electing Keith Ellison as DNC Chair.

Episode 12: Yes, taking over the Democratic Party is far from a mirage. Over the course of two days, the political revolution showed it has bite and balls: Berniecrats, and other progressives, won more than 600 seats—over 50 percent of the seats in play--in elections to fill slots for the California Democratic Party state committee. Jonathan was on the ground in the state, and he brings eye-witness reporting from the elections and conversations with Berniecrats who helped sweep all the seats in San Luis Obispo—and you will hear the secrets to organizing that make these victories doable in other states. Wrapping it up: the regular Robber Barons segment sticks it to the corrupt health sickness industry (we don't call it "health care" around here).

Recorded August 12, 2016. The FDA just ordered the DEA to maintain marijuana as a Class 1 (prohibited) substance, because it has no "currently accepted medical use" and "the known risks of marijuana use have not been shown to be outweighed by specific benefits." We tell you how Bernie saw it coming and why the FDA would make such anti-scientific claims (and it's not because of what they're smoking). What?? Dr K. is a "privileged, sexist lunatic?" Well, he according to posts on social media pertaining to those who accuse Hillary Clinton of being the evader-in-chief. Are we as a people following the example of Clinton, Trump and their media in using identity politics to change the subject -- and obscure the truth? It's a slippery slope, choosing name-calling over reality.    The further we get from the DNC, the more she's slip slidin' away... As soon as Hillary's not on stage holding Bernie's hand, she starts reaching for the hands of war criminals from the past. Host Darren is incredulous: Is she allying herself with Kissinger and Rice -- really? But this isn't just a "strategy" to beat the orange Creamsicle in the general election. It's actually an affirmation of Clinton's penchant for war.    Hey, don't despair--Berniecrats are on the rise nationwide! We summarize several races and offer hope for an eventual change in the buyout of our democracy.

A conversation with Jeff Kurzon, a NY Berniecrat candidate, and his lawyer Josh Douglass, about a lawsuit that they have just filed in New York against the Democratic National Committee and the New York State Democratic Committee. The lawsuit contends that the Party's Charter, which the binding, legal contract between the Party and its members, is being violated by the superdelegates. Specifically, their argument is that a superdelegate's vote vastly outweighs that of the average citizen's, and that this contradicts the guiding principle--the heart--of the Democratic Party's Charter. It states that "we acknowledge that a political party which wishes to lead must listen to those who would lead, a party which asks for the people's trust must prove that it trusts the people...". The lawsuit contends that this is therefore - a breach of contract, and - violates Jeff's 14th Amendment right to equal protection, and - his right of freedom to associate. (The first two are clear to me, the third I'm not quite understanding yet.) The relief being sought is for the superdelegates to be forced to conform to the popular vote of their state. For example, if Bernie Sanders won a state by 70-30, then the superdelegates must also vote themselves in the same proportion. Josh and Jeff hope that other New Yorkers may get involved in this lawsuit, and that perhaps other people (cough Berniecrats cough) around the country mighty consider duplicating this lawsuit in their own states. What if this turned into massive class-action lawsuits in all 50 states and territories...? In the short-term, the hope is that this lawsuit would be publicized in both the press and on social media to voters in California. So they will not be deceived and discouraged by the media, when they incorrectly declare Hillary Clinton the Democratic nominee once the polls close in New Jersey--three hours before California voting is done. --- Jeff's blog post about the lawsuit: http://www.jeffkurzon.com/blog/2016/6/2/why-i-just-sued-the-dnc-and-the-nysdc The full complaint: http://www.jeffkurzon.com/s/SuperDelegate-Lawsuit-Kurzon-v-DNC.pdf --- From Josh Douglass: I have filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York against the DNC and the NYS Dems on behalf of Jeff Kurzon. Our claim is that the defendants are violating their own Charter by contunuing to implement the super delegate rule. The super delegates comprise fifteen percent of the overall delegation. Thus, an insurgent candidate such as Bernie Sanders starts out several delegates behind. This rule violates the DNC Charter, as is fully specified in our Complaint, in that the Charter speaks to the Party's guiding principle of listening to the people and following the will of the people. Rule 13 of the "Call to the Convention" further states that the delegation should be in keeping with the "preference of the primary voters." While the courts have held that the Party does have the right to freely associate and thereby establish its own rules...it does NOT have the right to violate its own Charter and, thereby, infringe upon the rights of its own members to freely associate with one another. We have requested a preliminary injunction from the court and are seeking a remedy which limits the power of the super delegates by having them be consistent with the popular vote in the state and have their votes limited to quarter votes or half votes or what have you in order to reach that end point.
