bernie is far better than the rest, but the rest are trash, or in tg's case, 'good in 'parts.' that doesn't matter. what matters is the structure of the state, the character of the people, and the 'born to rule' aristocracy of wealth. no one person can change things. this is the work of james madison. he abstracted the nature of the british state and transplanted it in america. it has endured ever since, with wealth in command. he said his aim was the rule of wealth, that is how he got the assent of state legislators [the people were never consulted, except in rhode island, where they wisely refused the constitution].
i am occasionally reminded of the science fiction novels of isaac asimov, who enjoyed popular success with his novels of 'future history' and robotics. i read them, pretty much all, many years ago, because they were chock full of ideas, even if the prose was uninspired. he realized that individuals could not make 'right decisions' until conditions made them right decisions.
bernie can't fix things, too much is not ready to change. you need a revolution, but conditions are not right. by the time they are, some general will demonstrate that conditions are right for a coup.
