re: #10 William Lewis

He wants, really, revolution instead of democracy. The Scandinavians give us a great model but it’s not dramatic enough for a guy like Trotsky^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^hBernie.

Back when I was a Sanders supporter during the 2016 primaries (I got better), I considered the “revolution” rhetoric to be metaphorical.

Now I’m not so sure. He sounds more and more like he wants a real one; a popular uprising against “the establishment” to overthrow, well, something.

Popular uprisings tend to be very messy and often bloody. I’d much rather bend the moral arc toward justice (to rip off Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King) rather than break it.
