    It’s satire. Bernie is a socdem, he’s basically just a standard democrat, except that he also wants free healthcare and cheaper education. He doesn’t challenge the status quo in any significant way.

    Its satire. He doesn’t advocate for anything near a proletarian ruled society, just the bare fucking minimum amount of welfare that is also provided by other ‘developed’ countries.

    Ever hear the term ‘Bernie killed rosa luxembourg’?

    Its because he’s a social democrat and not a socialist, and when push came to shove, it was the social democrats who betrayed the workers revolution in germany, and who killed or ousted our comrades accross europe.

    The reason for this satirisation in particular is likely down to a joke about how the media tends to view him.

    This is satire. Bernie is a liberal, same as the others. He supported the illegal U.$. attacks during the civil war in Yugoslavia among other awful things

    Not everything is a coded message. Bernie is one of the most memed individuals of all time. Do you want us to explain why putting him in a red army uniform is funny?
