I think you've gotten the wrong end of the stick here. To clarify, I said that Sanders is closer to Communism than Powell was to racism or fascism. Even if you prove beyond a doubt that he is no Communist, that does not invalidate my statement. He is in favour of progressive socialist policies - while Powell was nothing of the sort regarding fascist ones.spartan445 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 5:07 pmOn Bernie Sanders: <Snip> Your characterization of his ideology being close to communism is grossly inaccurate.CroakandDagger wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 3:46 amSanders and Corbyn are certainly much closer to communism than Powell is to fascism or racism.

I've not heard that one.

I don't think that's the case. But i'll have to review the evidence first and get back to you.spartan445 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 5:07 pmI think you consider yourself an intellectual person who "looks at the evidence" before coming to conclusions, but you've already made the conclusions
