Apropos of May Day:
Today, of course, as [self-declared Socialist Bernie] Sanders announced that he would be running for president, the [National Journal] decided to remind Americans that, yes, being a Socialist does in fact make you pretty damn liberal…. What is remarkable about Sanders’s platform is how unremarkable it would sound to any run-of-the-mill Democratic politician 40 years ago, and how moderate it would have sounded to Eugene V. Debs, the last major Socialist candidate for president.
