        In a country where everyone to the left of John McCain gets labeled a Stalinist, the term is little more than invective. It doesn't have anything to do with policy.

      tbh, until about 4 months ago I didn't know that 🤡

      reading marxist texts does a whole lot for the liberal subject.

      No single individual is going to adequately represent a broad ill-defined social movement, particularly in a bourgeois liberal democracy.

      Expecting Sanders to be all things for all people was a mistake from the get go. He's not a Messiah. He's just marginally better than what has historically been on offer.
