In reply to the discussion: The Uncurious, Continuing, Stubborn Refusal to Grasp Bernie Sanders [View all]Rural_Progressive
(1,105 posts)He has a very clear idea of the base causes of inequality in this country. He is focused on those causes. He is attempting to "persuade" people as to the causes and what actions need to be taken to rectify the situation. Bernie and one of my favorite teachers, Matthew Fox, would be in complete agreement on this statement.
Anything that is not just is not sustainable, the only way for anything to become sustainable is for there to be justice (in all systems)
Bernie is about the long view, he's looking for our society to become sustainable for our kids and grandkids. Only going to happen if it becomes just.
If people are on board with that vision, he's looking for all the support he can find. If they're not on board with that he's not going to shed any tears or waste any time. There just isn't any time to waste. If they don't get it by now, chances are really good they're never going to until everything goes sideways.
