This is from the guy who took his honeymoon in communist dictatorship Soviet Union? And praised their brutal, authoritarian regime? Then followed it up with a love fest with the murderous Sandanista regime?

Exactly. That's freedom? These Marxists want to control every aspect of your life or threaten you with violence. THEY are the authoritarians.

Bernie Sanders sounds like a freshman in a political science degree program. "Authoritarianism” is on his end of the political spectrum. The dumb-ass!
