Bernie Sanders Praises Fidel Castro’s ‘Massive Literacy Program’ In ’60 Minutes’ Interview

https://dailycaller.com/2020/02/23/bernie-sanders-praises-fidel-castro-60-minutes/

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders praised former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s “massive literacy program” during a CBS “60 Minutes” clip that aired on Sunday.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper introduced the topic by playing a clip of an 1985 interview with government-access Vermont TV in which Sanders said the Castro regime “educated their kids, gave them healthcare” and “totally transformed the society.”

What a sick tool. Cuba is a terrible place. Maybe Traditio will move there.

Because it works.....simple as that.

Sanders:
"We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad."

Gutfeld on Bernie Sanders' Cuba gaffe

Over the weekend, we had the 40th anniversary of the greatest sports upset, when the American Olympic team beat the Russians in hockey - (CUT)

(CUT) - You have to wonder where Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was back then and who was he rooting for.

Here’s one quote from Bernie during the 1980s: "It’s funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, that people are lining up for food. That is a good thing! In other countries, people don’t line up for food. The rich get the food and the poor starve to death."

Sure, that was a long time ago. But you might consider how Soviet citizens felt when they heard a free person, in a free country, papering over their misery, doing publicity for their dictator.

Has Bernie changed much? Has he learned not to minimize the tragedies of totalitarianism?

“We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba,” Sanders said in an interview over the weekend. “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?”

Ah yes, the literacy program, the old joke the left always waves when you bring up the ravages of communism. “But everyone can read!”

And, Ted Bundy was a great dancer, and Charles Manson played decent guitar.

I'll give Bernie this: Admitting Castro did bad things is progress. Or, a concession to the obvious.

As Bernie storms toward the Democratic nomination, remember history — the good and the bad — and remember which side Bernie chose. Murderous tyrants.​

Trump is right and the media are wrong; Bernie Sanders is a communist

Let me say this as clearly as possible: President Trump is 100% right. The notion that Bernie Sanders is a gentle, Nordic-style social democrat is a lie. The man is a communist. Period. Full stop. End of story.

The differences between Sanders' supposed "democratic socialism" and communism exist only in political philosophy textbooks. Anyone with even a cursory understanding of European politics and Bernie Sanders' record understands that his ideological sympathies lie with central planners in Caracas and not center-Left parties in Copenhagen.​
  • Nordic social democracy is not the same as "democratic socialism." Bernie Sanders claims that he only wants the United States to be more like Scandinavia, but he calls himself a democratic socialist rather than a social democrat, which is the label preferred by the Nordics. To some, this might seem like a mere linguistic distinction, but there are significant differences between the two. The Nordic Model, or social democracy, calls for a large welfare state, but it embraces capitalism to pay for it and mostly rejects government control of the economy. The opposite is true with Sanders and democratic socialism. The Vermont senator and groups who back him, like the Democratic Socialists of America, openly support an end to capitalism, the elimination of private property, and the government controlling vast swaths of the economy. This is very different than the Nordic Model, which according to the Heritage Foundation, has produced some of the freest economies in the world in places like Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Yes, under democratic socialism and the Nordic Model citizens pay high taxes to fund social programs, but the Nordics are not forced to give up ownership of their property to the government or co-ops. And unlike what Sanders is proposing, Denmark does not even have a minimum wage and its immigration laws are very strict.
  • Sanders supported Castro and other communist dictators while European social democrats turned their backs on them. One of the most striking aspects of Sanders' career is his ideological consistency. People's political views often evolve over time, but Sanders' have remained the same. He said that he was so "excited" about Cuba's communist revolution when he was in his late teens and early 20s that watching JFK get tough on Fidel Castro made him want to "puke." Surely, Castro had sympathizers among the American and European Left in the early 1960s, but by the 1980s, most social democrats had abandoned him and were strongly anti-communist. This was not the case with Sanders. In fact, in 1985, he was openly praising Castro, even after it was well-known that the Cuban dictator wanted to launch nuclear weapons against the United States and hundreds of thousands of Cubans had fled the island.
  • Sanders even campaigned for Trotskyites. The most glaring examples of Sanders' radicalism come in the form of his political activism and differences between him and actual democratic socialists during the Cold War. As the Washington Examiner has reported, during the Reagan era, Sanders was campaigning for self-described Trotskyites, a Marxist sect that openly calls for violent revolutions. To paraphrase Amy Klobuchar: Who does that? Sanders, apparently, who at the time was in his 40s, not some misguided kid at Berkeley. Furthermore, he did so while democratic socialist parties throughout the West opposed Trotskyism. To make matters worse, the Trotskyite group that Sanders aligned himself with was supportive of the Iranian regime's taking of American hostages.
