ITS THE ECONOMY, STUPID. ITS ALWAYS ABOUT CLASS STRUGGLE. Quote: Even as a student at the University of Chicago in the 1960s, influenced by the hours he spent in the library stacks reading famous philosophers, he became frustrated with his fellow student activists, who were more interested in race or imperialism than the class struggle. They couldnt see that everything they protested, he later said, was rooted in an economic system in which the rich controls, to a large degree, the political and economic life of the country. Bernie is in many ways a 1930s radical as opposed to a 1960s radical, says Professor Garrison Nelson of the University of Vermont. The 1930s radicals were all about unions, corporations — basically economic issues rather than cultural ones. vox/2014/10/14/6839305/bernie-sanders-running-for-president-2016
