“Sometimes people say, you know, you’re 78, all that stuff, and you’ve been doing this for a long time — But should I be quitting now? When you look out and you talk to these beautiful, beautiful young people who want to move this country forward in such a decent, humane way, it really does inspire me. And to the degree that I have gotten those folks involved in the political process, yeah, I am very proud of that. I don’t know that I’ve ever done anything in my life more important than that.”
You’re actually surrounded by Maoists, and you’re about to meet some Maoists in real life too.
Comrade... please start reading On Practice, On Contradiction, and so on.
Looks like you might have fell for a Eurocentric psyop?
The revolutionary Communists around the world (you know, the ones you look up to) have been solidly Maoist for the last fifty years. The radical sections in the West have also been Maoists.
Think about what you’re saying.

"BURLINGTON, Vt. — When Bernie Sanders, a self-declared socialist, served as mayor here in the 1980s, he often complained that the United States had its priorities wrong, that it should be diverting money from the military to domestic needs like housing and health care.
So when dozens of antiwar activists blocked the entrance to the local General Electric plant because it was manufacturing Gatling guns to fight the socialists in Central America, the protesters expected the mayor’s full support.
Instead, he lined up with union officials and watched as the police made arrests, saying later that in blocking the plant, the activists were keeping workers from their jobs."

How can Sanders visit Nicaragua and pretend to hold common cause with struggle there while defending the craft unionists producing the Contra's machine guns?
Oh right, because he's an imperialist New Left loon
