Maybe in his next interview, Sanders could identify some of the good points of the Russian dictator and mass murderer Joseph Stalin. For example:
Stalin improved literacy.
Once firmly in control, Stalin sought to expand literacy, establishing state schools and later universities throughout the country — just like Cuba.
Of course, there was an ulterior motive.
As the Institute for Development of Freedom of Information notes: “After Stalin became the leader of the Soviet Union, speedy reforms of the Soviet schools and educational system began.” But it wasn’t just to teach people to read; the goal was for Russians to read about Marxist principles and Soviet propaganda.
“Stalin,” IDFI tells us, “was personally involved in creating and editing of the textbooks and curriculums. As a result, a Soviet school turned into a politicized institution which actively propagated Stalinism.” Ditto Castro’s literacy efforts.
So, yes, both Castro and Stalin expanded literacy, but only to make it easier to indoctrinate their comrades.
Stalin provided free “Medicare for All.”
OK, Stalin didn’t call it Medicare for All, but it’s the same idea: A government-run health care system that’s free at the point of use.
Article 42 of the Soviet Constitution of 1936, which is also known as the Stalin constitution, says: “Citizens of the USSR have the right to health protection. This right is ensured by free, qualified medical care provided by state health institutions; by extension of the network of therapeutic and health-building institutions ….”
Sanders couldn’t have said it better himself.
Yet in 1999 the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) released a report on the Soviet economy, noting, “Health care is notoriously bad: insufficient funding, lack of qualified personnel, and shortages have helped to lower Soviet life expectancies.”
Take the life expectancy issue, for example.

I’m looking for a Dictator who can make the trains run on time. Does Bernie have any suggestions?
To his credit, Stalin did have a solution to the problem of the Deplorables.
He did rather didn’t he?
A bullet through the back of the head thanks to the NKVD.
I hear General Hideki Tojo got things done pretty efficiently.
HEY! Wait a minute! That's US!
Fair is fair... we should mention that slaves did get free housing and free clothing.
...and free food and free health care...

Dig hard and deep enough into this commie assh*le’s past, and I’m pretty sure we can find audio or video of him doing just that...
Truth is stranger than fiction. “Stalin’s Songbird” Pete Seeger praised Stalin all his professional life until he realized it was costing him revenue (i.e. filthy capitalist dollars) and began referring to Stalin as a “hard driver” and then at 90 wrote an anti-Stalin ballad that made amends./s
Sanders will praise Stalin’s Five Year Plans soon enough.
STALIN’S WARNING FOR AMERICA!

Who’s playing Trotsky in this remake?
He also reduced Ukraine’s carbon footprint!
Bernie has the answer to free flight though.
All they gotta do is glue feathers on his arms and he would fly like a turkey buzzard the way he flaps his arms.
Uncle Joe Stalin ran a very effective rail system free of charge to the eastern reaches of the Soviet Union. Tickets were one-way.
