"Bernie Sanders anti-political correctness rant proves the left is learning the wrong lessons"

[Hekate]

16. Your last sentence is why he turned me off. Oddly, when I told my husband it was his single focus...

...on economics and his way of brushing off every other concern (racism and sexism to name but two) as solvable via economic justice alone -- my husband said, "Oh, I've known many Marxists. That's how they see the world." I didn't have the background to recognize classical Marxism at a glance, but he did. Mind you, he was a Bernie supporter from the start. He recognizes the same thing I do, i.e. that not everything in the world can be managed as an economic problem, but he still likes Bernie.

So take that for what it is worth. It was hard to talk about here during the primaries without being attacked for being a Commie-hunter or something. But as a woman I can tell you, there is a crapload of sexism in this society, and fixing the economy is not going to make that go away. Same for racism.
