Big Oil, Wall Street and big business as a whole - they stand in the way of the kinds of change needed. They are fiercely against the radical reforms Bernie Sanders is popularizing.

Like the healthcare industry, the banks should be taken out of the hands of the 1% and brought under democratic public ownership.

We need a break from Capitalism.

For a whole historic period after World War II, US capitalism was the strongest in the world and could afford to concede rising living standards.

What Bernie Sanders is calling for is incredibly important. Things like a $15/hour minimum wage, single-payer healthcare, taxing the rich, and free education. The radical reforms he has popularized are a key part of any socialist program today.

Bernie Sanders has shown that socialism is no longer the barrier that it used to be during the Cold War.

It's not just an economic crisis that capitalism has created. We also face an environmental catastrophe created by a handful of gigantic fossil fuel corporations.
