These are the Jewish socialists who paved the way for Bernie Sanders
These are the Jewish socialists who paved the way for Bernie Sanders
In winning the New Hampshire primary last night, Bernie Sanders marked two big firsts in U.S. presidential history: He was the first Jewish candidate of a major party to ever win a presidential state primary. He was also the first self-described socialist to win a major party primary. But that doesn’t mean that Jewish and socialist politicians haven’t played a big role in American politics in the past. In fact, some of Sanders’ proudest positions, from fighting inequality to providing universal healthcare, can be traced back to Jewish socialist politicians from the early 20th century. http://fusion.net/story/266991/berni...ish-socialism/ |
