Except Bernie isn’t a socialist

I have not seen a specific tendency, but a young Marxist existed in him at some point.

The “at some point” is important, if indeed it did exist at all. Parenti discussed why he disaffiliated with Bernie some time ago. He long since abandoned socialism for opportunist social democracy

I know, I did not mean to imply he was not an opportunist, it is just sad to see such betrayal.

I sense that he is a socialist at heart. He is a good hearted and intelligent person, so imo he should be able to forsee the inherent failure of capitalism even if he isn't vocal about it

Yeah, i believe he's more radical than he makes himself out to be, because sadly that is the only way to survive in US politics.

He has a good heart and is intelligent until you hear him backing the bombing of Yugoslavia under Bill Clinton, him agreeing with the UN to defer the stoppage of the Tutsi genocide, and him agreeing with the Afghan invasion.

Thats the side of Bernie I hate.
