ZitatDemocratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” accused President Donald Trump of possibly not understanding the difference between communism and socialism.
In a video clip, President Trump said, “I think he is a communist. I think of communism when I think of Bernie. You can say socialist. Didn’t he get married in Moscow?”
Sanders said, “It gives me no pleasure to say this, we have a president who is a pathological liar. He lies. No, I did not get married in Moscow. I participated in creating a sister city program.”
He continued, “Obviously, I am not a communist. I presume the president knows the difference. Maybe he doesn’t.”
Horsefeathers. I documented Bernie's close ties to the Trotsky aligned Socialist Worker's Party elsewhere on this forum, and, in addition, Marx taught (and Lenin concurred) socialism is the first stage of communism.
