My dad was an old union democrat, who carried a BAR with the 5th Regimental Combat Team in Korea. He used to say, "Republicans are for big business, Democrats are for little business". Jim Webb was the last of this type of Democrat, and he got laughed off the stage at the 1st Democratic debate.
A socialist is just a patient communist. Even Marx said that socialism is just a stop along the line leading to communism. It, like other tyrannies, comes from having no value of an individual in society.
The New York Post just ran this about Sanders' past. He is a damned communist.
