System Of A Down drummer John Dolmayan recently took to Instagram to slam Bernie Sanders’ new plan for universal health and child care.
System Of A Down is no stranger to publicly voicing their views on politics. Only one month ago, frontman Serj Tankian commented on Donald Trump’s attack on Iran killing General Quasem Soleimani.
Now, drummer John Dolmayan has commented on what he thinks about democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. It’s no secret that Sanders has very forward-thinking views, alongside wanting many things to be publicly funded by the richer citizens of the country, and therefor ‘free’ for the middle class and poorer citizens.
Ranting on Instagram, Dolmayan expressed “Childcare / free , healthcare / free, university/ free. Fuck it , if everything’s going to be free and it’s all going to come from the rich anyway then why work at all? Why not just live off the work and profits of the rich?”

Continuing with a statement mocking Sanders lakeside holiday home, Dolmayan stated, “I’m a millionaire and so is Bernie but I only have two houses so maybe I can share this hypocrite’s “summer camp”.
“Don’t believe the indoctrination, don’t believe Hollywood/ music elites , and don’t believe communism disguised as democratic socialism will do anything but strip you of your freedoms and make everyone equally destitute.”
Although many people worldwide have voiced their support of Sanders’ plan for universal healthcare to finally hit the U.S., Dolmayan fears that Sanders’ ‘democratic socialism’ will mark the demise of the U.S.
“Venezuela, China, North Korea , Nazi Germany, Cambodia (Pol Pot) , Italy ( Mussolini ) , etc. It doesn’t work , it will not work , and it always leads to poverty for the working class. The same elites pushing this agenda will be well taken care of while the rest of the people starve.”
