No. He’s a communist. There’s no “crypto” about it.

The “crypto” prefix refers to Sanders denying being a communist, just as the other communists listed in the post did.

Bernie dreams of working in the hot sun, side by side with his comrades, pulling turnips at Turnip Commune #34.

Didn’t he get kicked out of Turnip Commune #34 already due to laziness?

I rather doubt if Bernie has a card saying he is a member of the Communist Party. His political philosophy and statements are 100 percent Marxist communist.

Bernie is a communist. I rather admire him as he does not hide his beliefs. I pray he is the nominee. It will destroy the democrat party if he is.

I believe he does hide his beliefs . Otherwise he would be registered as communist, not an independent.

No, he dreams of sitting in the White House, smoking Cuban cigars while the rest of us are slaving away at the turnip commune.
