Throwback: Bernie "Very Excited" For Castro

TheDC Shorts (Via YouTube) ^ | 1/15/20 | Staff

[Its All Over Except ...]

Bernie: "I remember for some reason being very excited when Fidel Castro made the revolution in Cuba. I was a kid and I remember reading that it just seemed right and appropriate that poor people are rising up against ugly, rich people..."

[Its All Over Except ...]

Bernie never praises capitalists and he has never spoken out negatively against people like Castro for them being Socialist Millionaires as Castro was.

BTW, this isn't something that Bernie,like as essay, wrote as a kid, tried t bury it as an adult in shame, and it was dug up on him. He wanted people to know, here as an adult still praising Castro, how he felt when young, almost in glee.

[Enterprise]

The left still likes Castro. (Even if he’s dead). But now, will the left back away from Castro because they’re unhappy with Uncle Bernie? You know, it’s a mean girl thing. They don’t like Bernie, so now, they won’t like Castro. Any friend of Bernie’s can’t be a friend of the mean girls.

He’s said and written too much that is permanently etched.

That being said, that he is the likely nominee for one of the 2 major parties isn’t the greatest news long term.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Bernie, as an adult, did a documentary about Eugene Debs, who was called “America’s Greatest Marxist.”

Again, to Bernie, Socialist Millionaires like himself and Castro are the good rich people, not the ugly ones.

[SkyDancer]

He’ll make a Fidel Castro holiday if elected.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

The poor fall for that line every time. Ask Venezuelans...

[Mastador1]

I was a kid and I remember reading that it just seemed right and appropriate that poor people are rising up against ugly, rich people..."

Proof that Burny was a moron then and is still a moron.....and just like Castro he is living large on the backs of the proletariat!!

[Its All Over Except ...]

People need to realize that Bernie is not pro-poor, just anti-rich, unless you are a Socialist Millionaire like himself, Castro, and others, and then it’s okay to be rich.

[allendale]

Try to find some criticism by Bernie of any communist tyrant before he was elected to Congress. There is none.

Fidel Castro’s Net Worth

Hey Bernie - is it your intention to follow in Casto's footsteps?

[dp0622]

And no one can ever get him to see the hypocrisy.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Because to Bernie we’re all equal, just some are more equal than others.

[Leaning Right]

I’m guessing that as a kid Bernie only read the first half of “Animal Farm”.

[nwrep]

He was not a kid when Castro took Cuber. Bernie was in his late 20s when Castro took Cuber.

[txrefugee]

Well, he ought to know about “ugly and rich.”

Bttt

[a fool in paradise]

But communists tell us that real communism has never been tried. /Sarcasm

[a fool in paradise]

He also praised Hugo Chavez.
