There is no fool like an old fool. And anyone who still believes in communism is a FOOL!

Last month, NY Times columnist Paul Krugman offered his opinion that Bernie Sanders isn’t really a socialist. “Bernie Sanders isn’t actually a socialist in any normal sense of the term,” Krugman wrote. As for why he has called himself a socialist for the past four decades, Krugman had an explanation for that: “I’d say that it’s mainly about personal branding, with a dash of glee at shocking the bourgeoisie.”

Today the New Yorker interviewed Georgetown University professor Michael Kazin, who is currently writing a book about the history of the Democratic Party. Kazin said Sanders is not merely following the path of FDR but seems intent on going beyond that:
On the one hand, he’s channelling F.D.R. rather than Eugene Debs. He’s saying he’s going to complete the New Deal, and he talks about the Four Freedoms, which F.D.R. talked about in his State of the Union Address in 1941. So, in a sense, he’s going along with the social democratic tinge of the New Deal and arguing Roosevelt would be supporting Medicare for All, free college, the Green New Deal, that F.D.R. would be wanting to strengthen labor unions and tax the rich, and that he—Sanders—is not out of the mainstream of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

Answer: 100%
He’s a COMMIE!
I’m sure that too. What’s most frightening about him is, unlike Hilary and Obama who simply spout to please their voters (they only believe in their own power), this guy BELIEVES what he’s preaching out there. Yikes!
He’s not lowlife socialist. He’s a stinking COMMIE.
DNC = CPUSA
They’re ALL communists.
You bet he does. He even gives the commie fist salute at every rally. A not so subtle gesture to his fellow partners in crime.
I think he probably does say things to shock the bourgeois ....but he is still a commie
I’d say 110% since every day he wakes up he’s more socialist than the day before.
So … it's just like calling Trump a Nazi? He's not a Nazi. Everyone can see he's not a Nazi. But it's about the branding. It's about the Narrative. It's about shocking the bourgeoisie.
Gulag level socialist.
Article just proves that FDR was a commie too.
Something those of us who have studied him have long known.
Communism is contrary to human nature and the human spirit. It puts the collective before the individual. We are just a tool of society, to be used or cast aside as whims of society decide.
I was watching a video of a Chinese woman being forced into a recovery center (not a hospital) in China. She was fighting like a wild cat not to be put in there. It is at a moment like that, that the individual re-emerges and fights for it’s life over the collective.
Bernie is a commie fool and Biden has severe cognitive issues among his other weaknesses like being corrupt.
Bernie doesn’t inspire moderates to the polls and Biden won’t inspire Independents, I think their chances of retaking the WH are slim. However, I do believe that the move to Biden is to minimize the bleeding in House races.
He’s a communist.
He’s Bolshevik scum!
He is as socialist as Joe Biden or Blumberg
Hitler wasn’t really a Nazi. If Nazism had been practiced under the right management, it would have been beneficial for the world, peaceful and highly successful. /s
“I do believe that the move to Biden is to minimize the bleeding in House races”. I agree and they will cover Joes gaffes from here on out. In case he slips in, they’ll partner him with Warren so that she can bring some of the far left when Joe goes off the deep end or passes on.
