LogicIsForSquares Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 I think most people know that Bernie is an open Democratic Socialist. The kids pumped on him are excited very likely because he is a Dem Socialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted May 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 have to read the article... "Bernie Sanders campaigned for the Socialist Workers Party in the 1980 and 1984 presidential campaigns and was investigated by the FBI for his ties to the Marxist group." "Sanders has always played down the extent of his involvement with the party, which included radicals who praised the Soviet Union and Cuban communists, and has denied ever being a member. Asked in 1988 about his role as an SWP elector in 1980, he said: "I was asked to put my name on the ballot and I did, that’s true." In fact, his ties to the party are deep and enduring." "But his personal files from his time as mayor of Burlington, from 1981 to 1989, archived at the University of Vermont, show that he supported and campaigned for the communist SWP and maintained a close relationship with its senior members. While Democrats campaigned for President Jimmy Carter in 1980 and Walter Mondale in 1984, Sanders spent the Reagan era supporting fringe Marxists with no chance of reaching the White House." "During Pulley's White House run in 1980, he called for the abolition of the U.S. military and the nationalization of "virtually all private industry," as well as the abolition of the military budget and the establishment of "official ... 'solidarity' with the revolutionary regimes in Iran, Nicaragua, Grenada and Cuba," according to a New York Times report at the time." "During that same campaign, Pulley hailed the Cuban revolution as a model for the U.S. and claimed that "racism [had] been abolished" on the island. His running mate, Matilde Zimmermann, described the contention that Cubans lived under a dictatorship as American "propaganda." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 "a dangerous institution that has got to go,” one answerable to no one “except right-wing lunatics who use it to prop up fascist dictatorships.” wow.....he "nailed it". When he made that statement....thats "precisely" what the CIA was doing in the ME and SA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 this article is pitching some truth bombs.... "the thing is, Sanders wasn’t wrong about the right-wing lunatics or the fascist dictatorships. As he has spent decades pointing out, the CIA helped overthrow the democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953. It was complicit in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in 1961. In 1973, it assisted in the military coup against Salvador Allende’s socialist government in Chile, which eventually led to the murderous fascist dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet."

What is your point? just another change of subject by clevis. The point of the thread is sanders' affinity for hard core communists/socialists in his past. that has nothing to do with the cia helping Britain topple Mohammad Mosaddegh . Figures that sanders would bitch about that - mosaddegh stole the British oil company in iran from them. It was a major socialist move. Of course sanders hated it, he favors socialism, surely dreams of being a socialist despot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d'état Mosaddegh had sought to audit the documents of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), a British corporation (now part of BP) and to limit the company's control over Iranian oil reserves.[11]Upon the refusal of the AIOC to co-operate with the Iranian government, the parliament (Majlis) voted to nationalize Iran's oil industry and to expel foreign corporate representatives from the country.[12][13][14] After this vote, Britain instigated a worldwide boycott of Iranian oil to pressure Iran economically.[15] Initially, Britain mobilized its military to seize control of the British-built Abadan oil refinery, then the world's largest, but Prime Minister Clement Attlee opted instead to tighten the economic boycott[16] while using Iranian agents to undermine Mosaddegh's government.[17]:3 Judging Mosaddegh to be unreliable and fearing a Communist takeover in Iran, UK prime minister Winston Churchill and the Eisenhower administration decided to overthrow Iran's government, though the predecessor Truman administration had opposed a coup, fearing the precedent that Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) involvement would set.[17]:3 British intelligence officials′ conclusions and the UK government's solicitations were instrumental in initiating and planning the coup, despite the fact that the U.S. government in 1952 had been considering unilateral action (without UK support) to assist the Mosaddegh government.[18][19][20] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted May 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 which, btw - how familiar: "In 1971, Venezuela nationalized its natural gas industry, and began taking steps to nationalize its oil industry. The oil industry was officially nationalized in 1976. At that time, the Venezuelan state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) was formed." Both fascist tyrannical oppressive regimes. Sanders loved both. In fact, Sanders is catching hell from his own socialist demoquck party for refusing to admit that Maduro is a dicktater.

Mossadegh did exactly as he should have. What ur article fails to lead onto is that these events are directly responsible for the ayatollahs coming back to Iran and gaining power. ooops....thst was certainly a good job out of the u.s huh?
