Sanders Defends Castro's Socialist Cuba

"We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad. You know? When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?" Sanders

please bold the word brigade in his quote. Maybe I missed it.

 

Sort of his point I think.

 

European style socialism. They still have elections and capitalism.

 

So we can assume trump supports feeding people to dogs and starving his people?

 

Keep reading that wasn’t the entire quote

 

Can’t find the word brigade on the page. Quote it or admit you’re making it up.

 

I prefer American style non socialism myself.

 

The devil you know...I get it.

 

Not that. I just prefer the risk to reward ratio capitalism provides vs socialism.

 

They also had inner tube boats.

 

Trump isn’t doing that. Why would any rational person assume that he does ???

 

I was it Pohang Korea in 1988. Had too much to drink, I think I ate dog

 

And Venezuelan style socialism and Soviet-style socialism and apparently Cuban-style socialism...

And presumably we'l stilll have some semblance of capitalism except for the capitalist parts Sanders wants to turn into socialist parts

 

Is there a story/joke about mess duty in there, too?

 

Well I had been on mess duty on the way there! That's where I found out about where trash goes on a Naval vessel.

I clearly remember seeing a butcher shop in Pohang, and a small carcass in the window, like a side of beef (cow) but unless it was the world's smallest cow....well it was a dog. Pretty sure the meal I bought from that street vendor (hey I was 19 and drunk!) was dog.

 

Maybe look to another article or gasp...watch the interview yourself.

bottomline, as the first hand account from the Miami herald, sanders approved of Castro indoctrinating campaign

 

We’re not getting rid of capitalism. Bernie wants more socialism, but I don’t think he wants all socialism. Like he’s not going to nationalize the bandaid factory...

 

Isn’t that the point or this thread? Any praise is a full endorsement?
Obviously the NFL is ok with cutting off womens heads since OJ is in the hall.

 

Comrade Bernie isn't going to do anything when he loses in a landslide.

 

He’s not even proposing any actual socialism. Medicare for all isn’t any more socialist than flood insurance

 

But it seem to me that for socialism to rise some, capitalism would have to fall some. And while I agree it would not be a full conversion it would be going deeper into that rabbit hole. I'm not a fan of that at all, as we very well might just slip deeper and deeper as time goes by.

 

100%

Looking more and more like that every time he opens his mouth. Well at least when he does so to answer a question.

 

So you made it up

 

Bernie ought to be smart enough not to compliment Cube or Castro at all when Florida is in play for the election. He loses points for being dumb if nothing else.

 

Nope it’s in the interview that you apparently refuse to watch
