The Book You Need to Read to Understand Bernie Sanders and His Populist
Crusade
By David Swanson [1] / davidswanson.org [2]
December 31, 2015

Every time I write [4] about a book about Bernie Sanders, somebody sends me
a better one. If this keeps up, by the time his campaign is over I should be
reading the best book ever written and be completely out of touch with
reality. The latest is The Bern Identity [5] by Will Bunch, and it's the
most substantive, best researched and most coherent book of the bunch so
far.
Bunch admires Bernie for learning the lessons of the 1960s, and for the most
part, never selling out. Bunch finds this remarkable, almost unique. And, of
course, it is that among U.S. senators, and among the gang of misfits
occupying the two stages at the freak shows we call presidential primary
debates. But there are many thousands of people who woke up during the 1960s
and never went to sleep. Many of them have worked for peace and justice ever
since with hardly a burnout. One could pick any number of them and stack
their accomplishments up quite impressively against those of Bernie Sanders.
I agree that Bernie's injecting of a little bit of sense into corporate
television is important and very hard to measure. I have no doubt that
there's a bit more integrity and relevance in Bernie's background than there
was in the legend of the African-American community-organizing author come
to save us while shrewdly pretending not to. But Bernie holding the biggest
political rallies in some big cities since Eugene McCarthy may not be an
unmixed blessing.
I've written [6] before about Bernie volunteers professing to be motivated
by policies that their candidate explicitly opposes. Yet I cannot stay
untouched by the excitement Bunch depicts at massive Bernie rallies. It's
wonderful for people to suddenly discover that something might be possible,
to suddenly give a damn, to suddenly do a tiny something about it. But it's
also miserable to consider that they have been so well trained to do this
only as cheerleaders for a candidate.
Surely that's not the lesson of the 1960s in which the civil rights and
antiwar and other movements organized around issues and imposed change on
the entire bipartisan political structure -- just as major change has
usually been brought about. Yes, elections were hugely important in the
'60s, but they were secondary. Now they are Everything. The peace movement
shut down in 2007 because there was to be an election in 2008, and it won't
start up again until a Republican moves into the White House. Elections are
terrific -- I'd love to see a fair and open one in the United States some
day -- but there is a danger in the new myth that they are all that there
is.
Bunch's book celebrates Bernie Sanders as having stayed true to his '60s
politics all these years, while the public moved away and has finally
returned to him. I think there's something to that, but would offer a few
caveats. First, there have always been millions of people wanting
progressive policies, and they have been effectively shut out by the media,
by the Democratic Party, and by an increasingly corrupted political system.
Second, the other candidates have moved so far right that Bernie is closer
to where a middle of the roader sits. Third, Bernie is fundamentally
rightwing on militarism, and nobody wants to analyze that problem in any
depth.
On the first point, I recommend Ted Rall's book on Bernie, the first half of
which is a history of the Democratic Party's flight to the right.
On the second point, let's be honest, there are many people who could be
doing more or less what Bernie is doing right now in the Democratic Primary.
Most potential candidates sat this one out, either because Hillary Clinton
claimed such a lock on the nomination or because committing to support her
should she win was too revolting a decision to make in order to run as a
Democrat. The media completely whites out third-party candidates like Jill
Stein, and the public has been convinced they're useless. And yet, even as
the Republicans ape Hitler and Mussolini, Hillary Clinton tries to position
herself to their right. Bernie is a brilliant, dedicated, relatively honest
candidate who has been given an opening by a combination of circumstances,
not least of them perhaps the media's notion that an undecided primary is
better for ratings as long as there's no risk of someone like Sanders
actually winning.
On the third point, Bunch's history of Sanders' life suggests that it's not
entirely new for him to give far less interest to peace than to domestic
matters. There's no account of Sanders growing outraged over the war on
Vietnam, rather over President John Kennedy's opposition to the Cuban
revolution. Sanders registered as a conscientious objector, but he organized
against racial discrimination and against restrictions on having sex on
campus. Bunch seems not to notice the elephant that's not in the room. He
says a Sanders speech is a laundry list of liberal issues in which everyone
will hear whatever they're waiting for. Not if you're waiting to hear about
peace.
Bunch doesn't hide the shortcomings. He notes that the Sanders campaign
staff forced the removal of a banner advocating rights for Palestinians,
that in 1983 peace activists protested a GE weapons plant in Burlington
demanding conversion to peaceful manufacturing and Mayor Sanders had them
arrested in the name of preserving 3,000 weapons-making jobs, and that in
recent years Sanders has supported the production of the F-35 also in the
name of jobs for Vermonters.
In 1972 Sanders wrote, as Bunch quotes him, that the daily U.S. military
budget was greater than the annual state budget of Vermont. At $4 billion
[7] today, the state of Vermont is slightly over one day's military spending
(taking annual military spending to be $1.2 trillion [8]) but it has been a
long time since Sanders has demanded conversion to peaceful spending.
Instead, he has accepted the truly sociopathic notion that jobs (and jobs of
a particular sort, as if a good socialist doesn't know that the same dollars
could produce more jobs [9] if spent on peace) justify militarism. Imagine
how that sounds to the 96% of humanity never mentioned by Sanders, except
when citing the successes of European nations whose radically lower military
spending he seems not to have noticed.
Is it OK that Bernie excuses Israel's crimes because he's Jewish? Should we
overlook his support for guns because he's from Vermont? These are
debatable, because he's so wonderful on so many other things. But continuing
down the path of sociopathic militarism is not an option if we are to
maintain a livable planet. Bernie voted against the 2003 attack on Iraq, but
then worked against those in Congess trying to block funding for it. Was
that the right compromise? Was that authenticity?
Of course, the military spending debate is usually about the wars that add
10% or so to the standard military spending. When it comes to those, Sanders
wants Saudi Arabia to start paying for them. But there are problems with
that scheme. First, Saudi Arabia gets its money by selling the world the
poisonous fossil fuels that will destroy it. Second, Saudi Arabia buys the
biggest pile of its weapons from the United States, which thereby
contributes to the mass slaughter -- and everyone knows it. Third, Saudi
Arabia is one of the largest sources of funding and support for the people
that Bernie imagines it funding a war against. Fourth, continuing these
insane wars in the Middle East will continue to spread violence around and
outside of that region, including to the United States, regardless of what
share of the bill the United States is asking Saudi Arabia to pick up. That
cycle of violence will only end by taking a different approach, not by
continuin g down the same road with a different billing scheme.
The great hope that comes to the smarter people at rallies for good
candidates under corrupt electoral systems is that they are building a
movement that will outlast the campaign. But when has that actually
happened? And how can such a candidate-focused movement not bow before the
candidate's own compromises?
The election book we really need is the one that explains the minor role
elections play in social change. The next-best election book that we need,
the one I keep looking for, is the one that outlines what each candidate
proposes to do if elected. What would their proposed budgets look like?
Which nations would they bomb first? Does Bernie think military spending is
too high or too low? Who knows! I expect the question not to come up in the
next dozen Bernie books, but I'll keep looking.
