Bernie Sanders Praises Totalitarian Regimes & Opposes Billionaires.

You won't hear young Democrats deride Bernie Sanders with the "Okay, Boomer" dig.

What people actually believe is kind of important, and Bernie Sanders professes and sells a series of prejudices that do him no credit.

Well, it would not be possible for Bernie Sanders to usher in a revolution in the U.S., but his sympathy for the real thing is notable.

The regime's crackdown on the largest independent newspaper, La Prensa, "Makes sense to me" Sanders explained, because the country was besieged by counterrevolutionary forces funded by the United States.

As for bread lines, which soon appeared in Nicaragua as they would decades later in Venezuela, Sanders scoffed: "It's funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, that people are lining up for food. That is a good thing! In other countries people don't line up for food. The rich get the food and the poor starve to death."

Bernie Sanders stopped learning about economics and politics about the age of 17.

Billionaires are not heroes, but by making them boogeymen, Sanders betrays his economic infantilism along with a large dose of demagoguery.
