Bernie just said on his live stream that Russia has been an authoritarian country “since forever”, but “eased up under Gorbachev and Yeltsin”
:flattened-bernie:
I immediately stopped watching lmfao
On foreign policy, he just like any other shit libs.
He's mildly better in some cases (or was? I mean, he expressed favorable views of Cuba some time ago, which are still criticized by the reactionaries to this day...). But yeah, that gap is awfully thin, to the point where you can just barely see any daylight a lot of the time. Like, imagine only retroactively praising Barbara Lee for being the only Congress member to vote against the invasion of Afghanistan. Too little, too late....
Bye bye Bernie
I mean, that moment was when he called r*pist joe "my friend"
I know I’m trying to make him go away
We all are on this blessed day :inshallah:
Social fascism theory wins again. :josus-stalin:
My good friend
JoeStepan Banderablocked bernie, aoc, ilhan and all the others on twitter after 2020. Absolutely no regrets.
Fuck bernie
however, I must point out that principled revolutionary communists exist who don't like stalin and think he was shit and the USSR under Stalin was also shit, and they think that for well defined materialistic reasons
Too bad bernie isn't one of them
Oh :100-com:
It’s one thing to have a principled and coherent view of Soviet history from the left (one that I entirely lack), and then there’s the “Russia was looking under Yeltsin” view lol
the what view?
Ooops, sorry, typo - long day.
Russia was looking up under Yeltsin

oooooh
Still why wouldn’t you praise Lenin instead of fucking Gorby
Because Bernie is a shitty lib thats why lmao
:flattened-bernie:: authoritarianism is when you have evil godless communism, and the more evil godless communism you have, the authoritarianismer it is. social democracy is the best system
:punished-bernie:: authoritarianism is when you don't have widespread poverty and immiseration! gentlemen, have you ever seen a revolution? it's the most authoritarian thing there is! you have nothing to lose but your chains!

What's he attempting to do? Call for war? Raise funds for Ukraine?
Not get thrown out or assassinated by his own shitty, liberal party—or his GooD FRieNd JoE BiDeN at its head—in the context of the new/renewed McCarthyist-style political environment?
I mean, Bernie is no Eugene Debs, but I think it's still possible to foresee him being Eugene Debsed if he's too critical of U.S./NATO/Ukraine/war now or in the near future....
He has had his run. He's old and not in great health. The man can afford to have spicy takes.
I guess it's a matter of whether he thinks he can afford to have those spicy takes or not. I mean, he should've been far more critical and even scathing of the party and of Biden at many different points along the way. But no. 🤷
(It occurs to me my earlier comment might've been taken as a defense of his take. Though it was a somewhat charitable supposition—a "maybe he's a leftist on the inside, but does it really matter?" sort of possibility—no: it was not meant as a defense or justification.)
Virtue signal to...?
Bernie has always punched left on foreign policy. The extent to which he has ever been good on it is that he theoretically wants to reduce military spending, spend that same money on social programs. His big stand against the War in Iraq was predicated on saying what we should do with the money instead, that we should go with the existing inspection process, etc - not a single word against the genocide the US was already carrying out against Iraqis by destroying their infrastructure and the using starvation sanctions.
Probably just retire quietly without having his entire name and reputation ruined with such insane lies that he's remembered as a monster like Corbyn would be my guess.
Libs gonna lib :shrug-outta-hecks:
the russian brainpan is designed for authoritarianism
Neolibs gonna neolib
was gonna say the stream's still live if you want to punish yourself with a bit of bernie
I went back in and saw Bernie talking with someone from “Pod Save The World” about “autocracy”
Bernie I want my money and endless hours of volunteering back
Kinda funny how 2 years ago, libs would try and slander us a "Bernie Bros". And now we're pretty much "yeah fuck Bernie", which libs like to hear until we follow it up explaining we're not voting for another Dem again.
I’m looking forward to the midterms when people will ask me if I’m excited to vote for the first time as a new citizen… :lenin-laugh:
