Noam Chomsky, in a recent interview with Al Jezeera, put it very nicely when he said Bernie may call himself a socialist, but he in fact is a “New Dealer”, referring of course to FDR’s “New Deal” for the American People. It’s just that on the current political spectrum, we have moved so far to the right, Sanders may almost seem to be a socialist. Chomsky then goes on to sparse the differences between Hillary (whom he’d still vote for in a general election) and the Republicans.
Always good to see Noam out, still doing his thing, at 87.
