Need to make a case against Bernie Sanders to a die hard socialist? This is your article. Written by a socialist who is highly disgruntled against Bernie Sanders for not living up to being a true socialist. It seems ole Bernie is just another war loving corporatist in his view. He quotes lots of key votes and issues that show Bernie's true colors.Written in 06, I bet with this in mind we could find a lot more to add to the list.
IMHO Bernie is a socialist - but maybe not as great of one as this guy hoped for.
Towards the end of the article he says,
"Whatever his betrayals, Sanders can still give an excellent speech about the evils of corporate power and the barbarity of class inequality, but he does so as a fellow traveler of the corporate Democrats, who he supports even as they move further and further to the right.
Figures like Bernie Sanders could help workers form a party of their own to challenge the corporate duopoly, and build a more politically self-conscious working-class movement. Instead, like Jesse Jackson and other Democratic liberals, he is the'progressive bait on this capitalist party's hook -- to tempt people who would otherwise want a genuine alternative into supporting a party opposed to their demands and aspirations."
