More Americans Are Identifying as Democrats Ahead of Midterms

Data from Gallup shows that Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents have their largest advantage over Republicans since 2008.

oh really? well we must surely be seeing those billings to trillions showing up in reduced deficits, right?

I like how the severity of the crime grows while he’s breaking the news. "Ultimately trillions”

Part of what makes them dangerous is they know exactly how stupid their supporters are and that they will never question anything they say.

The Democratic Party is headed down a very slippery slope. This is not the Democratic party of FDR, JFK or Bill Clinton. Listen for a couple of minutes and hear from somebody who has had a lot of experience on Marxism.

He says as he works for a Marxist administration seizing private industry for the government.

I like Republicans describing themselves as "the least of us". Very accurate.

For a man who claims to be an educator, you sure are ignorant of basic, commonly known facts.

Communist nationalization of industry involves the state seizing full ownership and control of private enterprises (or entire sectors) as a core step toward abolishing private ownership of the means of production. Government acquisition of an interest in a private company in a capitalist system is typically a limited, often temporary stake taken within a market framework that preserves private property rights and market operations.

Core differences

Aspect	Communist Nationalization	Government Stake in Capitalist System
Ownership	Full state ownership; private ownership eliminated in targeted industries	Partial (equity stake, shares, loans convertible to equity) or sometimes controlling, but private ownership usually continues
Method	Expropriation/seizure by decree, often rapid and coercive	Purchase of shares on the market, negotiated investment, bailout loans, or (less commonly) legislated takeover with legal process
Compensation	Frequently none, minimal, or ideologically determined; owners treated as class enemies	Generally fair market value, negotiated terms, or structured repayment; subject to legal protections and courts
Purpose	Ideological: eliminate capitalist class, enable central planning, transition to socialism/communism	Pragmatic: stabilize crisis (e.g., bank or auto bailouts), secure strategic assets, promote industrial policy, or generate returns (e.g., sovereign funds)
Control & Operations	State directs production, prices, investment via planning; profit motive subordinated or eliminated	Company often continues under private management and market discipline; government acts as shareholder with voting rights, board seats, or conditions
Legal framework	Private property rights in means of production rejected or subordinated to the state/party	Private property rights upheld; actions constrained by constitutions, laws, independent courts, and (in democracies) political accountability
Reversibility	Intended as permanent structural change	Frequently temporary; stakes often sold back to private investors once goals are met

Practical illustrations

• Communist examples: Bolshevik decrees nationalizing banks, factories, and land in Russia after 1917; post-WWII seizures across Eastern Europe; Chinese nationalizations under Mao; Cuban expropriations of foreign and domestic firms. These transferred assets to the state with little or no compensation and integrated them into planned economies.

• Capitalist examples: U.S. government equity stakes or preferred shares in banks and GM/Chrysler during the 2008–2009 financial crisis (most later exited at a profit or loss); temporary nationalizations or stakes in Europe (e.g., certain banks or airlines); sovereign wealth funds buying minority positions; "golden shares” retained by governments in privatized firms for strategic veto rights. Even full temporary nationalizations (rare) usually include compensation and an expectation of eventual return to private ownership.

Underlying distinctions

Communist nationalization is a systemic rejection of private capital accumulation and market allocation in favor of state direction. It treats industry as a collective asset under party/state control.

In capitalist systems, government acquisition of an interest is an intervention within a private-property, market-oriented order. It does not aim to abolish private ownership or the profit motive; it is constrained by rule of law, often justified on efficiency, stability, or national-security grounds, and is frequently reversed. Partial stakes leave residual private owners, residual market pricing, and residual managerial autonomy.

In short: one is transformative and anti-private-property by design; the other is usually limited, instrumental, and compatible with ongoing private ownership and markets.
