Fabius Maximus: Bernie The Maoist?

I don't really understand Bernie. But the progressive left in general is kissin' comrades with Maoism. And they now basically set the agenda for the blue team. It doesn't much matter much who their frontman is, IMO. Biden would likely wreck us less thoroughly and enthusiastically than Bernie or Warren. But it's the movement that's become dangerous. It's already done massive damage to the country. I shudder to think what they'll do should they take the White House in 2020--even behind Biden. And should the election have coattails...God help us.
   The ideas that now animate the progressive left are catastrophic. That, IMO, is undeniable. So the only defense you could reasonably deploy is: such ideas don't matter in politics. I think that even merely a few days diligent reading and thought will convince you that that view is utterly false.
