Donald
Trump " Red baits " Bernie Sanders calling him " a commie ". No
democratic socialists ever supported the Stalinist distortion of "
communism " in the former Soviet Union.
But they defended the civil
rights of American Communist Party members during the McCarthy era .Does Trump also want to sound like old Joe McCarthy too ?
And no democratic socialist would condone the disruption of a Donald Trump political rally . It would be self-defeating for socialists to violate any American citizen's free speech rights- or to incite mob violence.
The Bernie Sanders supporters tend to shun " identity politics " and focus public attention on unacceptable economic inequality which affects all races and ethnic groups, both sexes, and people of every sexual orientation.
Of course, the " angry white working class males " who support Sanders reject the notion of supra-class " white privilege ".
And most poor people in this country are white.They should " feel the Bern "
