Based on his own public record, he is a communist who wants to destroy the free enterprise system. His fanatical followers would probably like to set up "re-education" camps for all private business owners... in as remote and inhospitable a location as possible. Based on historical examples, communism can only survive if those who disagree with its tenets are dealt with very harshly. This would extend to the establishment Dems... who are seen as by Bernie's craziest devotees as "infidels" to the true faith. And yet... they sit there like mice cornered by a snake and do nothing. Why? What are they afraid of? Or maybe they hope he wins the nomination and suffers an Alf Landon type defeat so they can purge the party of this menace forever.
