Sublime Marxist poverty doesn’t come cheap—and it’s all theater.

Like Jimmy Carter carrying his own briefcase only when the cameras were rolling, it’s a staged display of humility meant to mask a hunger for power and a deep need to virtue signal.

You’d think a man of the people would prefer to travel among the people…but no.

Maybe he isn’t really a man of the people, huh?

Even in Communist Russia there was the upper classes
and the working class. Looking at Bernie’s own definition
of oligarchs:
“An oligarch is a member of a small group of powerful
individuals who control a country or organization,
often characterized by their wealth and influence.”

So I believe someone who spends $200K on private air
travel and blathers about rich folks and yet owns
homes worth a million fits the definition of an oligarch.

Who paid for these flights? Taxpayers money funneled through some Soros sponsored NGO? I doubt Bernie would spend any.of his money.
