Tucker takes on Cornel West over Democratic socialism 

Silly talk

Yeah and like he's constipated too

Thats because the man is true genius and hearing moronic wankers like gutter carlson is like hearing something for the 1st time. You should listen and learn

@@abrahamlincoln5185 that's nonsense, dont fall for socialist bs

The reason I moved conservative is by looking at the difference between conservatives going on liberal programs and liberals going on conservative programs

Never willingly hand over your money, property or liberty to someone else. You’ll notice in this discussion that socialism has never ever worked out for the common people, that being you and me. Free markets are a self correcting system where people can go where they are needed in society and prosper. Look up the great reset and let me know if you trust these people to rule over you.

Bruh lmao this is not a conversation. Every time tucker had his argument dismantled he would move onto another failing argument instead of acknowledging that he was wrong. Tucker may have been talking, but he sure as hell wasn’t listening

Just outclassed really.

He knows who he's talking to

Note the times that Cornel talks, and Tucker attempts to talk over him to move on to another talking point. Cornel doesn't stop talking. In interviews where tuck 'owns a lib', they let him interrupt and control the flow of the conversation. Thats when tucker is able to push his talking points and jump from topic to topic while swinging with punchlines. Cornel very clearly came well prepared for this interview.

​@@CjityJc No he didn't. Cornel West didn't even offer solutions to many of the problems associated with his views. He just said a bunch of crap that "sounds good," tickling the ears. Any intelligent person knows that this objective garbage won't work.

Much better. This was before too easy access to credit.

It wasn’t Democratic socialism. Oligarchs still owned everything. The poor were still very poor, only in cities and suburbs did people have the stereotypical 50’s prosperity (although more people in the middle class were wealthier).

Tucker just disregarded morality for 10 minutes in an attempt to make Americans feel scared and like they are better for having been born here.

Not really. Tucker doesn't debate as much as he lies and twists the truth to try and catch his opponent off guard

Sean Devine What do socialists know about Truth?

Agreed

I wouldn't be so sure about that, Bernie is about as commie as the DSA. In an interview with the Burlington Free Press in 1976, he said, "I favor the public ownership of utilities, banks and major industries," He hasn't changed, We all know he wants to nationalize healthcare and take away your consumer sovereignty, no private healthcare and insurance in Bernieland, He even advocated "public ownership of the drug companies and placing doctors on salaries.", the natural goal of M4A. You see he's pro-slavery too, Masta Bernie wants to force doctors and I supposed all healthcare personnel to be salaried slaves to the state, no choice I guess, I can only assume he would advocate sending criminalised doctors who would dare to operate in the free market and service patients to gulags or something.

@WinterXL You're comparing doctors to police officers? That's f'ing dumb. Didn't you know there are private law enforcement services, security agencies, detective agencies, company police etc...? Maybe Bernie would like to outlaw them too and nationalize them into his American Stasi? "there is no state in communism" Ya I know, the state will melt away and the workers paradise will be rainbows and unicorns. HAHAHAHHAHA! Whatever clown. Then how come there has never been a communist country with no state but always a communist state with the boot on the necks of the people? Hmmm...

But...but...Democratic socialism! DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM!

and forcing all other countries in the World Trade Organization to recognize the embargo

Primovid, thank you for being able to cut through all of the divisive rhetoric and labels to recognize the collective common ground they were able to achieve in this communication effort by Mr. West and Mr. Carlson. As of 4/3/19 4:13pm, why am I the only person that has recognized and appreciated your observation? While I know there are those who prefer to be separated based on labels they choose to identify with, I also know that this is how we achieve unity for humankind. The willingness to listen, not hear (there is a difference) to those we may deem as the other, is how we make progress count me in for team humankind. Cmon everyone, Primovid"s observation should be at the top of replies and remain there for this video. Yes, we have some complicated and complex issues however America has always been great and the humility (not weakness) exemplified in this video is why.

@Jack London California? The home of most tech giants that drive up real estate prices wherever they are. California is just another state that embraces the most horrible parts of capitalism.

Thats why tucker is doing so good now. Hes able to find common ground and reasonable understanding through conversation and isnt afraid to change his ideas about things if he is wrong. Dr. Cornel west and tucker talking was actually very nice to listen too. Both of them arent intrenched in there political bunkers and genuinly want whats good for america and its people

tothebestinyou - he said that as sarcasm. Socialism can only work in a small community. IF you unleash it at a wide scale, you will invite tyranny and famine. It’s an idealistic goal, but cannot be reached on earth. Many will suffer. Are we willing to risk economic collapse for a day dream?

@@HippieSkippy100 .... which is why all democracies have adopted hybrid systems, socialism and capitalism. The key is creating the best balance of that system until we evolve. Even that system is not perfect. We have hybrids because capitalism leads to slavery due to greed. Socialism fits our best instincts of community but a sociopath can exploit that system as well. The hybrid results in a check and balance. Democratic Socialism is the best of that balance until humanity can leave our petty animal nature behind.

cracked ...me...UP?!!

Yeah, and they both made good points.

@Michael Hampton I respectfully disagree Michael. We seem to have to pick sides or assign labels these days to people with different viewpoints. It is the loud, unlistening voices on any side of the debate that are not welcoming of open discussion. The irony is that these people, being close-minded and given to some form of zealotry, often have more in common with their targeted opponents "on the other side" than they do with those whom they perceive to be with them. A bigoted liberal with a closed mind will be likely to take up a vociferous debate with a more open-minded liberal where their perspectives differ; same thing goes for a conservative. Viewpoints form a spectrum, and there are as many different opinions within a team as there are between teams. Just because you may play for the Cowboys while I play for the Giants, or you work for Microsoft while I work for Google, or you vote Republican and I vote Democratic does not mean that you agree with all Cowboy players, Microsoft colleagues, or Republican voters. Conflict exists everywhere, which is why - and I absolutely agree with your core point here - that open discussion is what is needed. In this light, I am grateful for your comment.

Agreed!

Oh gosh, you're really setting the bar high

No, only Cornlell did that. Tucker said that he is "silly".

You are right, I bet the management virtually ordered Tucker to have this idiot on the air. West's whole Schtick is to make it look like the whole world is an idiot except for him... You can bet if the US becomes Socialist like Venezuela, this guy will never accept an ounce of responsibility for the failure that would ensue. He is the typical mouth that will never ever shut up, just like Bernie Saunders.

@EVERSONG, you need to wake up! You're not thinking for yourself but parroting liberal talking points. Socialism is evil and there's no such thing as democratic socialism. Medicare is an evil Ponzi scheme, medicaid is socialist, public education has failed because of government control---they are all bloated, inefficient government programs that are full of graft and scams. Grow up.

The term "Socialism" is not always well understood. Essentially, ["Socialism is a political, social and economic philosophy encompassing a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management of enterprises." -Wikipedia]. My greatest concern is "social ownership". Essentially, social ownership eventually deteriorates the concept of private property and freedom. It may sound attractive from an academic point-of-view (as a theory) but its full application is devastating. Aside from threatening private property and freedom, it drains motivation and ingenuity from its followers. History shows this. Remember the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) tried this system in different flavors. Marxism (the source of Socialism/Communism), Lennism, Stalinism etc. were cries against capitalism and social class. I can understand where Marx and Engels were coming from (I don't agree with them) but their utopian philosophy was (is) flawed. In order for Socialism to work (despite what some would say) a certain amount of coercion (state authority gone mad) must be used. Check history. Name a country (comparable to the U.S.) that has gotten Socialism to work for longer than our country's form of government. The USSR tried it for almost 80 years...it didn't work. (Where is the USSR now???) Why don't we have Russian made cars sold in the U.S.? We trade with Japan, Germany, South Korea, etc. Why not Russia if socialism/communism is such a great social model??? I agree (kinda) with John's comment "The word socialism and related terms have basically lost all meaning in practical political discourse." However, if he is promoting Socialism (in any form) then I have a serious disagreement with him. Under "Socialism" in Wikipedia there are MANY forms of "socialism". In principle, that form of government, in my opinion, is unhealthy to the human spirit.

I just wish Tucker had addressed him as Dr. West instead of just Cornel.

Sounds to me like you're describing America, exactly as it was envisioned to be.

JOHN DRUMHELLER sounds very nice and all but when has a system of meritocracy ever worked?

@@niklasgruneke7164 Do I detect cynicism here? ["Meritocracy is a social system in which success and status in life depend primarily on individual talents, abilities, and effort. It is a social system in which people advance on the basis of their merits."] That concept is sound. Are you dismissing it because no system is perfect? If you do I have to wonder if you are a cynic. As I say the Principle is sound. Advancing it is a good thing, no matter the vehicle (system). If you can't place a reasonable amount of faith in that then what is the point of working??? I agree with Mr Drumheller's comments on meritocracy. Explain why you would oppose the principle. I would be interested in hearing an explanation.

BaldOldMan right on the money - the principle is great but America is using it as a facade to encourage people to put in the effort expecting some great reward, also referred to as the American dream. The fact of the matter is that success is not dependent on the merits of your work but rather on your propositioned standing in society. The concept of a social democracy (or democratic socialism as referred to by sanders) is trying to get people to the same starting point so that everybody has the chance to be successful based on what they put on. I respect the conversation but clearly a vast majority of Americans are not educated enough to understand these concepts. This is not to slam these people but to point out that education has failed them overall. This is a feature not a bug in the system - on some level we can have a discussion if critical thinking serves a country well or not - granted America has one of the least critical and uneducated populations in the western world. Nevertheless the absence of information and knowledge does not mean that people aren’t happy. What you have nowadays are a lot of people that live in this country with this access to knowledge that are extremely unsatisfied. On the other hand you have people that are uneducated but very happy with their modest life. There’s no right or wrong - bad or evil here. It’s all about perspectives

@@niklasgruneke7164 The kleptocrats made it impossible for the system to be fair.

Eh...even socialists know that list is some perverted fantasy. No prisons, no borders and no profits. Individually, those three alone make almost no sense, but together they make ZERO sense.

Monday206am can you explain what you’re saying ?

Lyricist Productions yep. Fake twitter acct made up by the producers

Dr West is instant demonitization for some reason

true true true

What’s the purpose of government then. Becuase insuring rights counts as insuring dignity.

Because it does not fit the narrative.

Imagination Super Show how?

Possibly because they praise capitalism

Norway is NOT sustainable - the Scandinavian model is a fraud, btw I am Norwegian. Ask any economist from those countries.

Those are also a lot more homogenized racially/culturally, and are incredibly small countries comparatively.

"articulates the case for democratic socialism very well" you're such a weak minded low-life. Socialists are crazy assholes that need to be exterminated like the vermin they are.

Michael Schiffmann, except for the fact that it's democratic socialism. You can polish a turd but, it's still a turd.

what case, prisons are bad mkay is not a case

@@kill.all.liberals6865 - my mom used to say people use put downs when they lack the ability to articulate themselves and advance a reasonable argument.

@NDFOOTBALL dafuq are you talking abt

A valid point for socialism? Is that even possible?

Steven Wolfe lmao so right

Carlson acts so innocent and stupid lol

lololololol foreall

Stupid comment from an obviously stupid person.

OMG that's the perfect way to put it, I'm using this line now

gotta get that clickbait

Weiss The ''Democratic Party Establishment is hardly ''democratic'' in factual terms, rather a right wing just a bit less fascist than the originals. Together they paved way for trump.

The dsa is a pseudo radical wing of the democratic party

@@roberthoffenheim7861 It's not tho, it's an organization with an accompanying political party that (very rarely, because third parties are like de facto illegal in most case in the U.S.) runs on its own and sometimes its members run in dem primaries (and sometimes wins) because they can, the organization is not part of the democratic party, it's just that some DSA members use dem party infrastructure for electoral benefit

@@weissfox5857 Functionality they are exactly that. They field democrats, are a part of the Democratic Party political network and routinely denigrate real socialism as described by Marx and Engels. They repeatedly and deliberately confuse social democracy with democratic socialism and try to push a mixed economy policy in the name of democratic socialism.

No Cornel West did not answer his question. East Germany and Late Yugoslavia Socialism/ Communist functioned!

Lorenzo Medina bruh humans can’t stop blowing each other up because they disagree or they want land you really think that in the past 1000 yrs of human civilization we would be able to create a stateless classless society. We should move in that direction with baby steps tho. Who knows we might have to go full in if technology gets better at the rate it’s getting now. I don’t know if robot technicians are going support jobs for 7 billion people. Might be forced into socialism my guy.

Not at all true.

We do now.

@@beholder9 WHOOORAY!! WE DID IT! AMERICA IS GREAT AGAIN!!!

zachery andersen do you know the difference between social democracies, and democratic socialism? Most don’t. Most on the left think that Denmark, Britain, Norway, are socialist countries that have “pulled it off well” lol. I heard them on the View saying how well most European countries have gotten socialism to work. They’re idiots. Hope you aren’t.

Lol

@@pommiebears You can hope all you want but you're obviously an idiot.

oh that's just Tucker's face. Tucker's always been a funny guy... but physical appearance isn't everything. He's actually a lot dumber then he looks, so u gotta give him credit for that.

the503CreepOut I think he is cool!

the503CreepOut he’s not dumb whatsoever

@@the503creepout7 what you said, if true, speaks volumes on his guests (like Cornel West) and their "intelligence".

🤣😂🤣😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The replies were good and articulate. The questions were grabs and consisted of hypothetical numbers and what ifs. . there was a lot of grasping...

@@shortair84 Dreams vs reality.

Now only if other networks would follow.

This type of conversation only exists on 'right wing' shows

Yeah CNN would never have an ap opposing opinion on. Ever !

You're reaching

youre joking right? ordinary people are middle class people. poor people arent the majority, which tucker is obviously referring to.

@@alex3016 I never said anything about the majority. You're just making my point that poor people are left out of every conversation. Appreciate the help!

When Tucker says " ordinary people" he is referring to the middle class because that is the populations majority of our society. He is not demeaning the poor in anyway. It's pretty self explanatory and honestly just common sense. But then i forget common sense is not that common obviously.

@@aprilrawls5162 By your logic you're saying only majorities are ordinary people

Neil Steenson Trust me, I wouldn't want to be friends to the US either right now. Give Mueller time, it'll be over soon then we'll stop be the laughing joke of the world....

Mrwhale99 wrong

C C I don't watch fox....

The open borders people never explain how letting anyone that wants to come in will be paid for. They never volunteer to take them into their own homes. They are great at earmarking other peoples' money for spending.

@@teeyske I knew that it wouldn't workout like that. He fired comey and replaced him...

It is very possible to love someone, and also realize that they are deluding themselves. It happens every day; my older brother is currently married to a cult-member and it sucks.

Of course he does. Brilliant minds think alike

dulpurp I really can't believe all of this immigrant slander and fear mongering is still being put on television. It's a verbal embodiment of xenophobic and birtherist thought.

utewbing CNN ain't news, definitely less propagative than fox tho.

Well the democratic party doesn't do that. Right??? Or leftist comedians like Stewart. He would not paint Republicans as so and so.
