Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto, Mao the Little Red Book

All these years, I thought it was Marx who wrote Das Capital, and Mao wrote the manifesto, thinking the Little Red Book was the manifesto. sheesh! Thanks for the correction!

Sanders isn't a socialist in the Marxist sense. He's a Democratic Socialist in the northern European sense. Think Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway. In those countries, college tuition is free because the governing bodies know how economically important an educated workforce is. Workers have strong protections including paid maternity and sick leave, strong pensions and reasonable employment security. And everyone has single payer healthcare.

Exactly. 'Wall Street' and their political surrogates have managed to succeed so thoroughly to convey to the American Public the economic system instituted in these countries are so repugnant to "our way of life" that the very idea of shifting our system similarly simply must not be entertained for a moment, despite the evidence that there systems are sound, and people are happier, healthier.

There's a new essay out there called Regenerative Capitalism you should look at

Thanks I'll google it, assuming it's published on-line?

Very much agree with your take on Sanders's political persuasion and inclinations wrt FDR/New Deal.. . And your take on his campaign!
