Bernie is doing his job, using the rhetoric of socialism to mislead a disoriented working class back under the control and influence of the Democratic party. I have been a leftist critic of Bernie since before his aborted “revolution” when he bent the knee to Hilary. I continue to raise this point in spite of accusations of “not true scotsmanism”, because breaking away from his cultural influence is a necessary step in the development of class consciousness.
His appointed role is to prevent genuine socialist organization and channel radicalized workers into support for the Democrats, there is a reason the Democratic Party is known as the “graveyard of socialists.” No revolutionary action will ever come from the Democratic Socialists, they are not a revolutionary party, they are a faux-leftist brand on the side of capital and the bourgeoisie. Likewise for AOC.
Oftentimes these people raise valid criticisms and we can learn about the mechanics of government by listening to them, they may even believe that their incrementalism will genuinely help the working class, I do not accuse them of conspiracy, but bad faith is harmful to the proletariat even with good intentions.
I think that's a decent description of his assignment within the bourgeois electoral bullshit (BEB), as Avakian calls it. I would left radicalized people of any class, not just radically workers.
Surprise surprise! Bernie is part of the billionaire class and part of the oligarchy -- as well as as master of Zionist demagogue mass-manipulation. He is very much a part of the elite class. He is part of the orchestration of this comedy act, playing a star role as the straw man. Thanks for the article.
Please stop calling Musk an Afrikaner. He’s English speaking and Jewish. Might be born in South Africa but it doesn’t make him an Afrikaner. Please my tribe have enough pathologies of their own to deal with. By ignoring his true background and socialization it makes it easier to fall for the neo-nazi act. It helps to obscure some of those who’s dirty he’s doing. The man is a facist, megalomaniac, grifter and loads more, but that still doesn’t make him an Afrikaner. Thanks for keeping up the work of calling them out for the true fascists that they are. Not WW2 Nazi’s with a common purpose but just deranged and dangerous egomaniacs.
I agree. Bernie is making 'good' classism a potentiality- the social background- without acknowledging the oppressive aspects of classism. Does his class-society consensus exist? I've never seen it. Class war is downstream from the same greed that led to classism in the first place. Criticism is called for, especially now.
Could be interesting but this is not the point - or it is exactly why Democrat are so ineffective !
Stop arguing about democracy, fascism, liberalism, authoritarianism, socialism, capitalism (thus losing the majority of Americans who are rather gross, intellectually lazy and uneducated).
Mentioning oligarchy as a threat towards ordinary people’s welfare makes a lot of sense … Bernie 👍🏻👍🏻
For the rest the issue is … TRUMP. So, attack him.
- Trump’s fascination for Putin hence a destruction of US image&role, security and allies (world’s equilibrium)
- Trump’s madness which leads to the destruction of American institutions, the recruiting of an incompetent crowd of yes women/men, the obvious rapid collapse of Doge, submission to « strongmen » (Misk, Bannin, Peter Thiel and 2025 project’s strategists)
- Trump’s racism and bigotry (without faith)
- Trump’s lousy implementation skills and laziness … nothing will succeed
- Trump lies
Block him, destroy his image, get rid of him. Fight … and appoint a leader.

That was great and timely! You hit so many good points. An excellent piece!
Some of the wealthiest people in the country are afraid of Trump's redneck stormtroopers?
They could hire bodyguards who are more than a match for those guys.

DNC is a joke.
Reestablish democrats’ values.
Shape a program.
It would be the first step towards credibility.
You seem to think I'm a Dem, which would be an amusing thing to think. https://www.amazon.com/Hollow-Resistance-Obama-Politics-Appeasement/dp/1939202353

Hardly blame Bernie for trying to reach across to downtrodden middle and lower classes.
I love you, man, but please learn how to spell “sieg.”
seems like the moment is a bit more grave than e before i in a word but good eagle eye.
