        I skimmed his wiki page and he seems like evil/opposite Bernie Sanders lmao.

        You've got entryism into the democratic party, anti-semitism, extremely poor attempts at reaching out to POC that seem like outright fascism, conspiracy theories, etc.

          He was all sorts of things. Dude ran a cult that still gets politicians elected today.

          He also claims to be a Marxist, but his whole ideology is based on anti-materialism and hatred of dialectics
