I'm curious if anyone knows how similar he is to Bernie Sanders? I've heard the two compared before vaguely, but I'm not very clear on the specifics. They both seem to inhabit that space of saying things like, you know, "maybe we shouldn't destroy the world in a nuclear holocaust" and being called a radical for doing so. Or like, "I watched Star Wars and while I'm not totally sold on the rebel alliance, I do at least disagree with some of the things that Emperor Palpatine did." And then people are like, "How dare you support those Death-Star-destroying rebels." (Maybe joking a bit with that second example, but I'm not sure it's far off if you make it analogous to geopolitics.)

But I feel like somebody said once he's a bit more to the left of Bernie. Not really sure.

Britain deserves everything coming to it.

Corbyn is probably the only genuine Soc Dem out there that hasn't became a Neoliberal in Red Paint.
