Bernie Sanders is the most mainstream "Democratic Socialist", right? A person some here voted for in the Dem Primaries, not some loon like AOC.
Here's a quote from an article on Bernie's website:
"These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who's the banana republic now?"
Of course that was in 2011 before everything went to shit in Venezuela.
Also, are young democratic socialists on college campuses still running around in Hugo Chavez, Che Guevara and Fidel Castro shirts? Oddly, I've never seen a tee shirt with some Scandinavian country leader on it.
