yes i agree, and history is full of evidence to your point, however, it also full of evidence to the contrary, namely the policies the fuhrer instituted and the current mixed economies of the nordic countries with strong social programs. everyone has to stop painting the other side with a broad brush. obviously bernie is a leftist, but can we agree he is not the same kind of leftist as hilary clinton? the left, much like the right, is not a monolith. their policies should not be rejected simply because they are left policies.  > in theory, collective pooling of wealth and labor to distribute it as needed sounds like a good idea. this is literally what the state is supposed to do. and it is constitutional, there is in fact a general welfare clause in the us constitution.  it does matter specifically who implements said leftist polices, politicians are not fungible, so a bernie would have done just what he said while a cunt like aoc would have gone full marxists out of her own ignorance of the consequences.
