To those who STILL support Sanders: as I have previously posted, I agree with much

67. The Comitern Slogan At The Time, Ma'am

Was 'Hitler is the ice-breaker of the revolution'. The idea was that with the Social Democrat Party destroyed, Hitler would come to power, and oppressed workers would turn to the Communist Party and rise in revolution. To this end on many occasions in the final few elections, 'Red Guards' and ' Stormtroopers' joined in breaking up S.D.P. rallies (though when security police intervened, it was generally Communists rather than Nazis were arrested). The predicted revolution, of course did not come off, in large part because oppression was well-targeted and ruthless. German Communists died hard deaths, and not many survived Hitler's 'Enabling Decree' by more than a few months, if unable or unwilling to flee the country immediately. Though the most spectacular such instance, this idea is often recurred to among radicals on the left, who seem undiscouraged by the fact it has never worked out in any major country.





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
