Bernie Sanders called Americans "intellectually lazy" for not understanding communism

[Brating]

Fin today's Washington Post:

Sanders, in turn, said Americans dismissed socialist and communist regimes because they didn’t understand the poverty faced by many in Third World countries. “The American people, many of us, are intellectually lazy,” Sanders saidin a 1985 interview with a Burlington television station.

One thing Americans do understand is how the people of communist countries devolve into desperation.

Millennials yearn to be led by the nose through such ideologies as socialism, communism, and marxism. It will end in millions dead just as before. Bernie is a fool.

His attitudes haven't changed...His entire spiel relies upon the intellectually lazy....He projects then as he does now.

Lucky for Bernie that the MSM was too intellectually lazy to investigate his possible relationship with mass shooter James Hodgkinson.

Not to mention too lazy to investigate his and his wife's college scam and bank fraud.

Dear Brating
It's pretty mutual.

The people who want socialism could them be called "too lazy"
for not setting it up and running it themselves. They want "other people"
to fund their terms of socialism. The REAL workers movement is
about WORKER OWNED COOPERATIVES where the people own
their own collective management of resources and do the work themselves.

That DOESN'T require ramming it through govt.

It just requires people organizing, creating their own business cooperatives,
and writing off all their expenses off taxes so they invest in their own ownership
which aligns with what free market/capitalism promotes doing.

However, I don't think it's "laziness" but two different mindsets.

The liberals who don't believe in trusting free market because of
corporate abuses that still oppress individuals and play games
of "unfair competition" by abusing their larger collective status
DEPEND and BELIEVE in going through govt to protect people
from corporate abuses that are skewing the democratic free market.

It's not a matter of laziness they think and believe this way,
just like atheists or Christians are not being "lazy" but truly
believe and think in different terms or approaches to society and humanity.

Both sides, the liberals who don't trust bigger corporate interests abusing
the free market system and believe in going through govt to protect
the democratic process for people vs. the conservatives who don't
trust govt that tends to befuddle regulations where they don't work
and believe in direct decisions by people running their own businesses
and programs to be more accountable, just don't understand the
beliefs of the other group. Not a matter of "intellectual laziness"
but different beliefs that should not be pitted in competition
or conflict against each other. That's the problem, and in fact,
the most brilliant and sensitive minds are aware of this conflict.

We just don't agree how two opposing factions can work together
to accommodate both, and that's why the process is reduced to
just pulling more resources or influence to bully the other side.

Either both sides are being too lazy to mediate and work out
equally accommodating solutions, or the system of swaying elections
depending on the bigger bully, bigger mouths in the media,
and bigger pocketbooks just makes it too easy to decide public
policy by COERCION so that's the shortcut that large groups take.

If Bernie and others are serious about independent worker coops
and breaking away from this "shortcut bullying" approach to forcing
policy change, they'd denounce this practice as discriminating against
other groups and creeds, and force everyone to take the longer routes
of actually addressing and resolving objections and disputes to
arrive at universal solutions that all sides agree with in order to represent the public.

Communism and socialism work great till you run out of other peoples money.

Meanwhile...

Russia = Still almost a 3rd world country because of the damage of communism.

America = a first world country.

Problem with Sanders isn't that he is intellectually lazy, but that he is intellectually stupid, and lazy in all other ways. Has this guy worked a day in his life?

Mr. Rabbit-face is such a spiral-shaped pile of bowel-disturbed dogshit, that liar thinks that Americans don't know that the result of Communism in the 20th century was 100 million deaths and the crippling of every economy it's ever touched. Why can't Mr. Sanders, at his age, contract the cancer or heart disease he deserves. He really is one of the the most loathsome characters in the political world.

There is ZERO difference between the Sanders pig and pigs like Obamaggot/Hilarious Hillary. All of them are self-hating Americans who worship the most violent, criminal dregs of the third world and are obsessed with taking down and reducing his country they despise so much.

Seriously, I wish Sander's whore mother had died of uterine cancer the day she conceived that human tumor - no doubt from her sexual congress with rodents, which explains Bernie's rodentia facial features.
