Bernie Broke My Heart When He Embraced Rogan's Endorsement

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Slow learner?

Bernie is still pretty much what the old SWP was in the '60s. When I was in college in those days I went to a few Socialist Workers Party meetings, inspired by a bit of revolutionary antiwar fervor but mostly out of curiosity. What I found was a bunch of middle-class white college boys (females were relegated to coffee duty and typing chores, and fucking if the bros thought they were hot enough) playing at being revolutionaries, spouting recycled Trotskyist jargon and not doing much else. I concluded they were silly little boys and figured my antiwar sentiments were better expressed by marching in the street and occupying my college administration offices. Since then I never could quite figure out either what the socialists wanted or how they thought they were going to get it.
