Bernie - ironic Capitalist?



Bernie is supposedly anti-corporate (see HERE and HERE) and a self-professed socialist (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE), but the irony of the meme above goes even deeper. Over the podium he is offering a number of free federal stuff and government giveaways in order to get elected (see HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE, etc. etc.), but on his website he charges supporters money (between $5 and $25) for his campaign paraphernalia (see HERE).

The good news is that, of course, on the campaign trail, Bernie wears no corporate produced clothes, he travels in no corporate transportation, sleeps in no corporate hotels, eats at no corporate restaurants, uses no corporate-built venues, uses no corporate media and production companies to circulate his message, and on and on. He is a purist through and through.

Now, his top donors are all unions (see HERE and HERE), and it is not like unions get their dues fro corporate workers.
