I loved Bernie in 2016 and 2020, Bernie and M4A were big reasons I moved leftward, but I'm disappointed by how big of a tankie Bernie has been about Israel. His far left online supporters have infected his brain with fascist ideas like having news coverage unfairly report how many Palestinians have died. I first got hints of his redfash Marxism when he wanted to abandoned the women of Afghanistan by saying the US should end the forever war, but forever war = forever equal rights.
Anybody else taken back by how far left Bernie is on Foreign policy? I'm kinda glad he lost now ngl
~~Naw. It made sense in the moment with what we knew at the time - we live in a society that talks about socialism and communism now in part because a grumpy old man permanently associated the terms in the American psyche with objectively good things like Medicare for All, cracking a hundred years of red scare propaganda that socialism and communism were synonymous with totalitarianism and dictatorship.~~
~~Now unfortunately, all that stuff I'm talking about is in the superstructure, and it's not clear if the American base is capable of creating the conditions for a socialist uprising, but all we can do since none of us are Lenin is to keep banging our drums and keep latching onto every moment we can.~~
Actually never mind we gotta keep riding for Biden yee haw
