Bernie was looking for anything to try and prop up Castro and make Castro, and thus by extension, socialism and central planning, look good.

As anyone who has read Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea” could attest, the “old man”, Santiago, and his protege, “the boy”, Manolin, could read the newspaper. The old man read the newspaper and was able to relay to the boy how the Yankees of New York, led by the great Dimaggio, had fared on any given day. In the story, these were LESS than common people, and they could read and discuss the meaning of what they’d read.
And this novella was set in the early 1950s — BEFORE any communists had taken over the island and its culture.
you folks better read up on your socialism so you know what you are voting for. In socialism the government owns all and takes a huge chunk of what you make and you get back what they think you need.
There is no incentive to get ahead because everything in excess of what other people think you need is taken away and given to those who don’t and won’t work and produce.
That is socialism.
bernie voters.....too ignorant t)ignorant to have that right.
comiunism vs booming economy.

Good. Sucking up to Communists should be as socially and politically unacceptable as sucking up to Nazis.
