Proletariat versus tsarists. Yeppers, Bernie's guide to leading a revolution was written almost 100 years ago. Except this time it is oligarchy or Wall Street or whatever versus the people and it is the US instead of Russia. What you see here is a demonstration of what the GOP would have hit Bernie with. Bernie isn't about a new revolution. Bernie is recycling old ideas that ended up failing miserably.
