Shortly after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) announced his second presidential bid on Tuesday, Feb. 19, a string of videos from the 1980s recirculated online, showing him praising the Soviet Union, defending communist regimes in Latin America, and bashing America’s “150 years” of imperialism.
According to Sanders’s comments in the videos, his “dream” for America at that time may appear similar to Venezuela today: breadlines, communist youth programs, and open socialism.
