When I was a kid in the 1950s, I attended a school summer camp where one of the fireside songs, sung to a Russian tune, was:
No Lenin, no Trotsky, No Russian diplomatsky Will ever form a plotsky To overthrow the Czar. Hey!
We all knew what had happened some 40 years earlier, but the ditty was fun to sing, and that was about my depth of understanding of the Bolshevik Revolution at that age.
Today, another almost ancient phenomenon has magically appeared out of the radical mists of what was once considered a 20th-century failed movement. This marvel is called Bernie Sanders. With great wonderment, a majority of American folks look upon this old curmudgeon as a Marxist blast from the past.
The fact that a huge segment of pampered youth, as well as a few die-hard socialists and anarchists about Bernie's age, are "feeling the Bern" has caught most of us off guard, and we don't know whether to take all this as a bad joke or as a truly serious challenge to our way of life.
His drive to take the Democratic nomination in 2016 was seen by many as a fluke, but the powers that be in the Democratic National Committee made sure it stayed a fluke. Now Bernie is whispered as the unstoppable force, and "stop Bernie" is both the open (other candidates) and secret (national committee) aim of those who realize that such an extreme left-wing specter would pretty much guarantee another four years for Trump.

Bernie should vacation in Mexico City.
Caracas would be better
Is Diego Rivera’s place available for rent? Is there a moutaineering supply store nearby?
“Caracas would be better”
Caracas should fit Bernie just right since he loves Socialism/Communism so much and thinks those dictators are the best thing since sliced bread.
He should take a Princess cruise to Cuba and stay there!
General And now, Comrades, the greatest moment of the day, the moment when I ask you to welcome the return of one of Russia’s greatest heroes, creator of the Red Army, Lenin’s greatest friend, Lev Davidovich Trotsky!
Gulliver Comrades. Bolsheviks. Friends of the Revolution. I have returned. (renewed cheering) The bloodstained shadow of Stalinist repression is past. I bring you new light of Permanent Revolution (his movements are becoming a little camp and slinky). Comrades, I may once have been ousted from power, I may have been expelled from the party in 1927, I may have been deported in 1929 but (sings) I’m just an old-fashioned girl, with an old-fashioned mind. (a certain amount of confusion is spreading among the audience and particulary the general on the podium) Comrades, I don’t want to destroy in order to build, I don’t want a state founded on hate and division (sings) I want an old-fashioned house with an old-fashioned fence, and an old-fashioned millionaire.
Pither (voice over) Our friend Mr Gulliver was clearly undergoing another change of personality.
(A senior general appears beside Pither with two guards.)
General So! You have duped us. You shall pay for this. Guards, seize him.
The guards seize the startled Pith
er and drag him away. The senior general strides back across the stage avoiding Gulliver, towards the general who addressed the audience.
General Shall I seize him too?
Senior General No, I think we’ll have to keep him, he’s going down well.
General He’s more fun than he used to be.
Senior General He’s loosened up a lot. This is an old Lenin number.

Or he could go to Ciudad Mexico and meet his own Mercador.
I need translation help here: Mercador??
Jaume Ramón Mercader del Río was a Spanish communist and NKVD agent who assassinated the Russian Bolshevik Trotsky in Mexico City on August 1940 with an ice axe.
Please take it seriously. This is not a joke.
Thanks for a great history lesson:!:)

The old Soviet embassy in Mexico City was the second largest KGB base in the world. They had massive antennas directed north to listen in on our military radio traffic.
When I was a kid in the 60’s, my dad and I would listen to short wave radio on Saturday nights. We would listen to Radio Free Europe and Radio America. Then we would come across a frequency that had electronic jamming on it. Lots of frequencies. That was the soviets jamming radio frequencies to make sure that their people didn’t get news from the outside world.
The best match up would be Trump vs Sanders. It would be epic and a much needed resolution of what kind of USA our future generations will have.
NO $H!T!
Don’t translate names.
For those youths that love socialism and communism, (and even the old), they are of age to leave and go to these countries that already have that way of life established.
Why do they remain here, miserable, angry, and hateful? Since this is a free country, please go. No one is stopping them. Instead, they keep wanting to change it here where we’ve never had socialism/communism.
We have people who escaped those situations, and they’re happy to be here. Do what they’ve done - escape your miserable situation.
Bernie, go try to become dictator of some other country. Go, live your dream, and take your miserable followers with you so they, too, can be happy. Stop trying to drag us kicking and screaming into your dream/our nightmare.
Go. Just go. Live your dream - elsewhere.
I don’t think anyone needs to panic about Bernie being elected, and Biden’s favorite constituents are every bit as communistic and stand even more against our Constitution. The enemy is among us (many feminist, medical racket, psych. and many other organizations against the Second Amendment), and Biden is more dangerous to our constitutional rights. Try to imagine the number of billionaires around the world who will be pushing for his election. Bernie, not as much.
Biden’s big money supporters are also much more in favor of globalism and keeping production outside of the U.S.
