Bernie speaking on 1st day at Women's conference is a great idea & it's easy to show why...

140. Sanders promoters seem to make everything about

Sanders.

I am not that into Sanders and sometimes I find it sad to see so many people fall in line to be just followers.

There are the followers who show up at rallies and cheer "Bernie" and the more savvy corporate-style marketers of Bernie as a product. (Bernie did this, Bernie did that....press releases). What we see here is the tendency of male-dominated organizations and societies to form a hierarchy-a pecking order -and line up under someone whom they want to promote as the Alpha male.The rest derive their status from their closeness th Mr. Alpha.

Democracy requires that people think for themselves and not search for saviors or engage in hero worship which is different from respect.

The issues-especially those central to equality - seem to get lost in the hero worship.

Reformers want a kinder, gentler version of inequality-the Bernie movement is a reform movement. Reform movements are great but they have never achieved full equality for the majority, and often they lose ground-they ebb and flow-but the basic integral Inequality remains the constant.

We need a Revolution of Equality, where all women and all children, all otherized people count the same as men (and in western societies this generally means white men).

Bernie, Bernie followers, and Bernie marketers are not revolutionaries and when it comes to the fundamental issue of human rights, we need the revolution.
