Man torched his movement to ingratiate himself to the Dems and got nothing for the privilege

The crowd start booing when cops rip down the Palestinian flag. It seems that the crowd is in support of the Palestinian flag and they are upset by it being removed. Bernie seems complicit in the removal of the flag. It is at least a good sign that the crowd is in support of Palestine. It shows that there are people who are ready to be organized.

The channel that this video is uploaded on is pretty good, "Socialism 4 All". He makes audio books of works by Marx, Lenin, etc. Also has made several videos against InfraHaz and Hinkle.

The channel is a decent resource, but just be aware S4A is an anti-China Ultra and doesn't always have reasonable takes.

This is who a President Sanders would have been.

He was always the compromise to see if libs were serious ten years ago.

They were not, and turns out neither was bernie

Not that I ever doubted it, but it is nice to have such a concrete reminder.

What’s that quote again? The one about hoping your comrades kill you for being too reactionary?

Seems appropriate

"I dream of a world in which I'd be executed as a reactionary"? (paraphrased as the supposed original was in French)

It's attributed to PJ Proudhon, but I don't know if he actually said it. I might be misremembering but I think it's an anecdote from a collection of letters.

carlin-pog better than I expected honestly, I'm maybe too pessimistic and wouldn't be surprised if they had cheered instead, so this is nice

The number of people chanting and booing was inspiring. They were loud and wouldn't let bern-disgust silence them.

reddit-logo and .world libs are probably defending him and crying about “ideological purity tankies“ right now

Those dipshits can cry all day, the crowd gave its answer loud and clear, Sanders will get nowhere with his soft Zionism

it felt like he started to gloss over it well in the video and the rave reviews he keeps getting makes it look like it's working

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yesterday I saw a post exactly like what you're talking about on Robert Fedvan's BTB subreddit. Some lib was calling zei_squirrel a psyop for having basic principles like "don't support genocidal ethnostates". A lot of people complaining about " tankies" and "stalinists"

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 40 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

how is that decrepit fuck still around

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The libs think him and AOC will save them.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

libs will never ever learn

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago

Just craven.

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 27 points 2 weeks ago

They just won't fucking listen or learn. Dammit!

[–] Bloobish@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

Real Hubert Humphrey moment for him.

[–] Test_Tickles@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

Is it a crime to obstruct the holy American flag?

[–] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

He's always been Zionist garbage, he's had his own 'im speaking' moments with anti Zionist protesters
