Bernie Sanders is surging in the polls and might be the Democratic nominee for president of United States. If that happens, you know that Republicans will go after him for being a “democratic socialist.” Soviet nostalgia, here we come!

I’m frankly surprised that we aren’t already seeing*** Soviet-themed attack ads in the primaries to prevent Sanders’s nomination … brought to you, in major part, by the premier domestic election “meddlers” … the DNC!
On a similar note, a workable definition of fascism:
capitalism’s (over-) reaction to socialism.

***Or are we, I’m trying not to watch the ads.

Ted, will you be printing up T-shirts emblazoned with the lyrics of “The Internationale”?
Bring it on, Ted, bring it on !…

At least Bernie is more of a real socialist and will unapologetically defend himself.
I’m one of those California voters who can’t vote in the so-called open primary because I’m a Green, so we must temporarily change party affiliation to Democrat. Otherwise, you have to ask for a Democratic crossover ballot using the correct terminology.

The most discouraging aspect of all this is how much ignorance it displays. Think about how inferior the public education system must be, and for how long it must have been inferior, that people are confused about capitalism, socialism, social democracy, communism, etc.
