That doesn't surprise me, Hillary was obviously paid so well for what she "could do for them" I highly doubt there were taking any sort of financial or motivational advice from her, she knows almost as little as Bernie about managing a company

For example, he notes that many communist leaders died wealthy, and this is the opposite of what communism is supposed to be about. Two problems with that. Number one is that in the United States, Bernie can't suddenly raise his paycheck to millions of dollars a year. Number two (and this is HUGE), Bernie is not a communist.
Guys like this prey on gullible people like you. Don't be gullible.

Bernie's not a Communist! He's not even a fucking Socialist! 
He's a Keynesian Capitalist.

Why is there a picture of Bernie next to that quote?
He doesn't subscribe to Mises' bullshit, and neither do mainstream economists.

Bernie could be called a Keynesian Capitalist, a 'New Dealer', even a 'Democratic Socialist' (given it's modern day interpretation), but he can't be called a 'Socialist'. He just isn't one. Unless he starts advocating something like government subsidies for worker owned businesses, or something along those lines, he really doesn't adhere to Socialist ideals.
The core of Socialism is the empowerment of labor in the workplace. Worker ownership, either through government, cooperative initiatives, or something along those lines.
The word Socialist has just been so muddied over the years. I'm sure all of us use it incorrectly to describe things that don't actually fit into the definition of Socialism.

Bernie just won the debate, and got the squad to endorse him. Pretty eventful night for sane politics.
