"He is a national socialist in the mode of Hugo Chávez. He isn’t driven by racial hatred; he’s driven by political hatred. And that’s bad enough."


Discuss.

A lot of the contemporary Left is nationalist.  That's clear from much of the rhetoric over trade.

The "National Review" isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

I always love how folks can post tripe from left-wing websites like Talking Points Memo or Mother Jones without anyone making a peep about that person being a troll, but once someone posts anything from right-wing websites like National Review, they are automatically "trolls".

Kevin Williamson has a point - Sanders is a self-admitted socialist and some of his policies are cut out of the same xenophobic nationalist protectionism as Donald Trump.  What does that make him, exactly?

Not sure how supporting American manufacturing is xenophobic.

Read the article.  In Sanders world, it's always the evil Chinese and Mexicans "stealing our jobs".  It is based on fear of foreigners who are different than most of us.  Never the Canadians or Scandanavians.

Sweden DOESN'T take our jobs. Swedish workers cost MORE than American workers to employ. Workers in China and Mexico cost LESS.

Interesting how I've browsed through the front page of this forum and there are sources linked to liberal sites such as MSNBC, Huffpo, and conservative sites such as The Weekly Standard, yet I'm the only one accused of being an "obvious troll"

Also if you considered my thread to be trolling attempt, why are you spending time here responding to other posters regarding this article?

I'm pretty sure he blames the American corporations who outsource and the policies that enable them more than the "foreigners".

Don't be dishonest.

And how many of those articles accused Jews of being Nazis?

I say this not to paint you as a troll, but rather the author of the article.

Sanders is to blame for employing such a confused ideological word salad in the first place.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Sanders is a socialist. The fact that he tacks "democratic" in front of "socialist" when describing himself to become more electable doesn't change the fact that his political positions are solidly socialist on almost every issue.

[DelawareDem98]

Even speaking as a major Hillary supporter, this article goes way over the line. Calling a Jewish progressive a Nazi is low.

What exactly is confusing? The thing the author pretends to be confused about is Sanders' opposition to outsourcing, which is a position most candidates, even Republicans take.

Name one solidly socialist position he takes.

[Lief 🗽]

Sanders is a Nazi? Well then I expect the National Review will be endorsing him very soon.

Ah, yes. I often hear about how another factory in Ohio is pulling up stakes for Stockholm, where the low taxes and business-friendly climate and inexpensive, flexible labor markets win the day.

National socialism is still socialism..... read some Hayek- in particular "The socialist roots of Nazism".
