@corruptian@mastodon.cloud you thought of sanders as close to communism? "we should be more like scandinavia in some ways" doesn't really count to me. he seems less authoritarian minded than trump or clinton from where i see it. (though i've never been under communist dictatorship, as a kid i did live in bangladesh during their pro-western military dictatorship and it was still much better than communist countries were at the time, i'd say.)
