Until I watched this, I thought Bernie was a well-meaning clown. Now I think he is a dangerously stupid, evil old man who did everything he could to make me live longer in that hell hole called the Soviet bloc.
(1/2) A small but significant minority responded to this tweet with: "But there were some good things in USSR: University was free, etc".
Let me remind you: University is free in many countries that range from hell to heaven, North Korea and Austria for example.

Under socialism, I was not allowed to study journalism, because my father was not a member of the Communist party. Literally this reason was given.
Then when I was at *free* university, I got kicked out after the first year because I had dared appear on Radio Rree Europe.

Wow, I never knew the Bernie crowd were just as, or even more zealous than the MAGA crowd.
So here is a rough list of the counter-arguments i have been slapped with:
1. Communism had its pluses, Bernie was right to point them out
2. He spoke the truth, just not the whole truth
3. It happened long ago, he evolved
4. He didn't really prolong totalitarianism
(cont'd)

5. Your view of the left is the same as Trump's view of the left
6. You are a capitalist stooge and a pig
7. You spread fake news about our leader.

I will just summarize simple responses here so I can refer future criticisms to this tweet:
1. None of the "pluses" of communism were transferable without the rest of the shit. North Korea has the same pluses.
2. = The definition of propaganda
3. At 47? Burden of proof is on him.

4. I never said he prolonged communism. Said he did nothing to help me & 300 mln.
5. Quite possibly my view on Bernie is the same as Trump's view of Bernie. Coincidentally, my view of Bernie and Trump is the same as Putin's view on both.
6 & 7. Yep, That's why I live in Austria

Wife: "At least they are not armed"
my favorite part of the press conference: at one point Bernie says: "Spoke to many people who think there must be a change in society, thay mistakes have been made.." (me: okay may be i was too harsh on him) "...and that they must return to the principles of the 1917 revolution"
