I notice that not a single Democrat apologist claims that either Bernie isn't a communist, or that the party isn't as well.
Yet.....they'll vote for it?????????
Bernie isn't a communist and neither are the Dems. Happy?
This is why I love when the uneducated post.....skewering them is a piece a' cake.
And, I kinda enjoy how you government school grads ignoring the facts.....
Getcha 'Program! Can't Tell The Players Widdout' A Program!
The players are
communists, socialists, Progressives, Liberals, fascists and Nazis.
They all play for the same team.
Today....let's look at
Bernie Sanders....socialist? Communist? Progressive? Or...Liberal?
Getcha' program!
1. " [At] the University of Chicago,
Sanders joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. He also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
2. ...graduating with a political science degree, Sanders moved to Vermont, where
he headed the American People’s History Society, an organ for Marxist propaganda. There, he produced a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed for espionage during the Red Scare and hailed by the Bolsheviks as “America’s greatest Marxist.”

a. Eugene Victor Debs, Bernie's paragon: "... Debs agreed with the left wing of the Socialist Party—people like Bill Haywood and Mother Jones, who would help found
the Industrial Workers of the World (the 'Wobblies). They advocated
workers taking control where the power of the ruling class was rooted—in the factories. ... Within the SP, members had very
different ideas about socialism and how it would be achieved. Some believed in socialism as a steady increase in social reforms achieved by socialists being elected to political office—
others looked to a revolutionary transformation of society.....
Eventually, those leftists who remained in the SP
quit to help form a new Communist Party on the model of what Lenin and the Bolsheviks had built in Russia. Debs, while he supported the Russian Revolution and remained a revolutionary, nonetheless stayed in the SP."
Socialism according to Eugene V. Debs
Still imagine there is any great difference between socialists and communists....and Bernie?
3. This subversive hero of Sanders, [Eugene Victor Debs,] denounced even by liberal Democrats as a “traitor,” bashed “the barons of Wall Street” and
hailed the “triumphant” Bolshevik revolution in Russia.
“
Those Russian comrades of ours have made greater sacrifices, have suffered more, and
have shed more heroic blood than any like number of men and women anywhere on Earth,” Debs proclaimed. “They have laid the foundation of the first real democracy that ever drew the breath of life in this world.”
Socialism according to Eugene V. Debs
4. "In a 1918 speech in Canton, Ohio,
Debs reaffirmed his solidarity with Lenin and Trotsky, despite clear evidence of their violent plunder and treachery. Sanders still hangs a portrait of Debs on the wall in his Senate office." NYPost, Op. Cit.
This Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."
Now about the Democrat Party elite, Bernie Sanders: Communist, Socialist, Liberal, and Progressive
5." ... Sanders helped found the Liberty Union Party, which
called for the nationalization of all US banks and the public takeover of all private utility companies. [Before Maxine Waters, too!]
... Sanders in 1981 managed to get elected mayor of Burlington, Vt., where
he restricted property rights for landlords, set price controls and raised property taxes to pay for communal land trusts. Local small businesses distributed fliers complaining their new mayor
“does not believe in free enterprise.”
6. His radical activities didn’t stop at the water’s edge. Sanders took several “goodwill” trips not only to the USSR, but also to Cuba and Nicaragua, where the Soviets were trying to expand their influence in our hemisphere.
In 1985, he traveled to Managua
to celebrate the rise to power of the Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government. He called it a “heroic revolution.” Undermining anti-communist US policy, Sanders denounced the Reagan administration’s backing of the Contra rebels in a letter to the Sandinistas.
“The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people — substantially more support — than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” Sanders told Vermont government-access TV in 1985."

(BTW...Ortega and the Sandinistas were voted out of power in 1990. Ortega ran for election again, in October 1996 and November 2001, but lost on both occasions)
7. "Sanders also adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow and honeymooned with his second wife in
the USSR.
He put up a Soviet flag in his office, shocking even the Birkenstock-wearing local liberals. At the time
, the Evil Empire was on the march around the world, and threatening the US with nuclear annihilation.
Then
, in 1989, as the West was on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the US Peace Council — a known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath not only to the Soviet Union but to “the triumph of Soviet power in the US.” Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist | New York Post
8."Today, Sanders wants to bring what he admired in the USSR, Cuba, Nicaragua and other
communist states to America.
For starters, he
proposes completely nationalizing our health care system and putting private health insurance and drug companies “out of business.” He also wants
to break up “big banks” and control the energy industry, while providing “free” college tuition, a “living wage” and guaranteed homeownership and jobs through massive public works projects.
Price tag: $18 trillion.
Who will pay for it all? You will. Sanders plans to not only soak the rich with
a 90 percent-plus tax rate, while charging Wall Street a “speculation tax,” but hit every American with
a “global-warming tax.”
Of course, even that wouldn’t cover the cost of
his communist schemes; a President Sanders would eventually soak the middle class he claims to champion. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need, right?
9. Sanders and his Sanderistas are all still pining for what Debs called “the Greater Revolution yet to come.”
What’s revolting is how this hardcore commie’s campaign has gotten this far. With his ascendancy in both Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders is no longer just a fool; he’s now a dangerous fool.
While it may be hard to hate the old codger, it’s easy — and virtuous — to hate his un-American ideas. They should be swept into the dustbin with the rest of communist history."

Did I mention that Bernie is a communist, and the Democrat Party is where he belongs?
