Bernie is the epitome of American Exceptionalism!

10. Thanks for the history! I was definitely using the de Tocqueville definition.

Stalin was a bastardization of Marxism, so thank god he doesn't count!

edit: And just for historical accuracy, neither Engels (German -English transplant) or Marx (German) thought the Russian people were ready for a revolution, so Stalin grousing about the American communist party is really quite laughable.

They thought it would happen in France or Germany.

Germany did have a revolution. And I hope you avoid the same one. Silver lining though: The infrastructure bank and socialist structures created in the wake of WWII made Germany the most powerful country in the EU, all while offering free university and universal health care.

You don't really have to re-live history if you've seen the movie.
