[lbo-talk] [Pen-l] Excellent advice from Eric Foner to Bernie Sanders

[Robert Naiman]

I'm not sure that I agree with the critique though, as a practical matter,
even though I think the dialogue is intrinsically very positive, and it's a
wonderful thing for people like Foner to take advantage of any opportunity
to talk about US radical history and insist that others do so.

I think talking about Denmark might actually be more relevant to the matter
at hand than what happened in the US in the 1890s.

It's more relevant, arguably, to talking about health care for all. It's
more relevant, arguably, to talking about family and medical leave.

Western Europe made a choice after World War II to have capitalism without
having poverty. The United States made a different choice. We can revisit
that choice. The fact that Western Europe made that choice and lived to
tell the tale is a key fact that we should compel people in the US to
grapple with.
