Bernie Sanders, Lifelong Stalinist
What is the difference between an actual communist — i.e., a Stalinist — and a “democratic socialist”? Not much, if you are talking about Bernie Sanders. Investor’s Business Daily notes that Sanders spent months soaking up communist indoctrination at a hardcore Stalinist camp in Israel, and lists a few other milestones on his personal road toward the Dictatorship of the Proletariat:
1963-64: He joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. Sanders also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was infiltrated by hardened Communist agents and under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
1971-76: Sanders helped found the socialist Liberty Union Party in Vermont, where he ran for governor and senator while calling for the government takeover of the medical industry and “all privately owned electric utilities,” as well as the “nationalization of the oil industry” — “without compensation to the banks and wealthy individuals who own them.”
Sounding like Lenin, he also demanded the government actually seize corporate assets and the wealth of billionaires, namely the Rockefellers, and redistribute it “for all people.”
1977: As founder of the socialist American People’s Historical Society, Sanders produced a 30-minute color documentary exalting his hero, socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed under the Espionage Act. (Today he keeps a portrait of Debs on his Senate office wall.)
1979: Sanders penned a piece for a local leftist rag arguing for the public takeover of the television industry, banishing commercial advertising and putting content under control of the government, a la Pravda.
1981: As Burlington’s new mayor, Sanders announced he didn’t believe in private charities and favored disbanding them, explaining government should be responsible for all social welfare and charity.
1981: Sanders adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow, as well as a city in Nicaragua to support the communist Sandinista revolution there.
1985: Sanders invited officials from the Soviet Union and communist China to stop by his office, while proposing that Washington divert military defense funds to “pay for thousands of U.S. children to go to the Soviet Union.”
July 1985: After passing a resolution pledging Burlington would defy President Reagan’s embargo on communist-controlled Nicaragua, Sanders traveled to Managua to attend, along with Soviet officials, an anti-U.S. rally sponsored by the Sandinistas.
He reportedly stood with a crowd that chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.” His trip was said to have been paid for by the Sandinista government. Sanders, in turn, invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the U.S.
1985: In a letter to the Sandinistas, according to the New York Post, Sanders pledged his support for their “struggle,” calling it a “heroic revolution” while accusing the Reagan administration of engaging in “terrorist activities.”
1985: In an interview with Vermont government-access TV, Sanders claimed: “The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people — substantially more support — than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” even though Reagan had just been reelected in a historic landslide.
1985: In the same interview, he praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, claiming “he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society.” He later showed his affection by traveling to Havana and meeting with its mayor.
1985: In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sanders proclaimed: “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed. I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”
1988: One day after wedding his second and current wife, Jane Sanders, the two traveled to the USSR for their honeymoon. Upon returning, Sanders praised communist health care and housing, noting “the cost of both services is much, much higher in the United States.”
1989: With the West on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the U.S. Peace Council — another known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath to “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”
By now it should be clear what Sanders means when he triumphantly croaks the word “revolution.”
Sanders is much worse than some crazy but well-meaning old coot who looks like he smells bad. He is a communist — an adherent to an ideology that killed over 100 million of its own subjects during the 20th century and subjected the rest to misery and subhuman degradation. Our nuclear arsenal was developed so that we would not have to live under the rule of evil men like Bernie Sanders.
What’s the difference between a communist and a “democratic socialist” like Bernie Sanders? There is only one: what they are able to impose. The longer leftists stay in power, the more they will be able to impose, until there is no difference at all.

It’s scary how many Americans are voting for him. I had no idea there were so many communist sympathizers. The result of college and mass media brainwashing I suppose.

bernie isn’t going to win 😀
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RawGr83DxpE looks like the DNC/Hillary Clinton have rigged the nomination against Bernie. bwahahahaha
Hillary should be able to just barely beat him for the nomination, and then she’ll go on to lose if she faces against trump.

Sanders and his followers hate capitalism because it results in unequal outcomes. They believe that socialism will bring about social, economic and class equality.
Socialism has NEVER produced this results anywhere it has been tried over the last 160 years.
Marxist ideology has consistently produced:
Mass executions
Mounds of skulls
Mass graves
Mass starvation
Mounds of personal affects of those murdered like, shoes, glasses, etc.
Torture, despotism, sadism, fascism, war, famine, pestilence and death.
No other ideology has so over promised and under delivered in all of human history.
The promise vs. the reality.

So, can we start calling Bernie’s supporters “Sandernistas”?

Very well said.

I suspect that Sanders was run to induce the perception that Clinton is centrist. He wasn’t supposed to win.
