Philosophers call that just plain old false. (Nobody here said that.)

No, opinions are neither true nor false. Some are accurate and some not.
If you want to believe the philosophers.

I sometimes get the sense that these radical leftists would like to be judge, jury and executioner without any fair trials. Next thing we know, they’ll be trying to play God!

O’Keefe is a conservative gadfly totally inconsistent with journalistic standards. All he tries is ‘gotcha’!
In my opinion.

‘Gotcha’ is a very old journalistic standard; I remember it being done back in the '60s. Now, finally, it gets done to everybody, which is only fair.

Like the way the House leaders conducted the impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
And how the more radical among them try to dictate how the rest of us should personally live while they, themselves, do pretty much as they please. Advocating the total banning of airplanes, cows, automobiles, etc., under the unsustainable policy proposals in things like the “New Green Deal”, while they don’t seem willing to practice the same in their own lives.
How the openly conservative get persecuted these days simply for wearing a hat the extreme leftists don’t agree with – beating people up on the streets, driving them out of restaurants, punching them in the face, hurling drinks at them and staging violent protests on college campuses – all the while, law enforcement looks the other way and the media supports it.
Deciding who has the freedom to speak under the First Amendment, and who doesn’t. Social media sites censoring ads and opinions they don’t agree with, thereby deciding for the themselves and the rest of us what they consider offensive, regardless of what anyone else thinks about it.
How some in power support full-term abortions, to the point of infanticide by giving tacit approval to allowing babies already born to be killed after the mother and her doctor consult with each other.
And now, here comes the dangerous proposal to re-educate citizens in gulags as a means of forcing the populace to conform and comply with their political views and idealogies. And while it may not ever succeed, if there is even a remote chance it can, it should stand the hair up on the head of every freedom-loving American.
This is the kind of stuff that goes on under dictatorial regimes – and that’s where we’re headed if these left wing radicals get their way.

This apparently was not Bernie’s guy,
Jurek’s “first rodeo”.
. . . “The 38-year-old was previously arrested in September 2019 for possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a prescription drug, and possession of drug paraphernalia.” . . .
More Jurek (that is one of Bernie’s communist guys working for him)
quotes that you can DuckDuckGo yourself at Law Enforcement Today under the title:
“Sanders campaign: “Cops are going to be the ones f’ing beaten” at DNC campaign”
Jurek’s “first rodeo”.

I don’t know what everyone is so upset about. I’m sure that these will be democratic gulags.

Again, what this is a joke? I know some people who are more liberal/left leaning seem like jerks but what if they have their reasons (growing up in a poor community, personal experiences with the health care system, etc), there’s something behind their ideology and political stances.

when they grew up? (Or for that matter, the leftists?)
Or if they are trying to make ends meet with their OWN KIDS first and foremost before someone misuses Government to make them pay for yet another government “program”?
Go look at the first reading from today’s Mass in the Latin Rite. See if you can see anything there that might be applicable here.
And if you factor in the leftist politician position on abortion, or killing off some pre-born innocent babies, the babies there that are murdered, don’t even get a chance to have ANY community, much less grow up in a “poor community”.

I’m not saying if these types ever got power they wouldn’t be dangerous. But they mostly come across as wannabes with a half baked understanding of what they are spouting in their rhetoric. The same with the neo Nazi types. The real Stalinists of that era of the Soviet Union and real Nazis of the Nazi Germany would look upon these self styled revolutionaries as useful idiots and stooges and as soon as their use ran out they’d be carted off to their beloved “re-education camps” along with everyone else.

True. But the real psychpaths take over once they get rid of the “useful idiots”; a process that doesn’t seem to take very long at all.

Every overtly socialistic regime has found some way to get rid of the “useful idiots”. Often they go far beyond that. It is literally a requirement for said socialistic countries to continue to exist: that they have some facility for compelling compliance from the population at the point of guns because they can’t trust the ballot box. Expecting Sanders to be the exception to that? Would you stake your life on that assumption? We hear this rhetoric from someone who works for him, but the campaign isn’t disowning that, they’re just sweeping it under the rug and pretending to us there is nothing to see.
Gonna be messier this time when the DNC takes Sanders out. Grab your popcorn for that one.

What examples would you give? I can think of examples of mass purges, imprisonment and killings of ideologically motivated socialists/communists by nominally communist governments, but these were all people actively involved in bringing about these regimes, not merely “useful idiots.”
Sanders might use the word “socialist”, but evidently he is not like Stalin or Mao. There are lots of people who have called themselves socialists who have not resorted to political violence. Did Clement Attlee imprison his political opponents?
