Totally Transformed Society’
(CNSNews.com) – A video from 1985 shows Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) making
favorable statements regarding Cuban dictator Fidel Castro when Sanders was
mayor of Burlington, Vermont.
The statements took place during an Aug. 8, 1985 interview [1] on the CCTV
Center for Media & Democracy’s Channel 17/ Town Meeting Television,
Chittenden County’s local government access station.
During the interview, Sanders discussed his recent trip [2] to Nicaragua,
marking the sixth anniversary of the Sandinista revolution, and drew
parallels between Castro’s regime and the Nicaraguan Sandinista regime of
Daniel Ortega.
“In 1961, [America] invaded Cuba, and everybody was totally convinced that
Castro was the worst guy in the world,” said Sanders.
“All the Cuban people were going to rise up in rebellion against Fidel
Castro. They forgot that he educated their kids, gave their kids health care
, totally transformed society,” he said.
“You know, not to say Fidel Castro and Cuba are perfect - they are
certainly not - but just because Ronald Reagan dislikes these people does
not mean to say the people in these nations feel the same,” continued
Sanders.
During the interview, Sanders also discussed some of the officials he met
with in Nicaragua.
In reference to Nicaragua’s Foreign Minister Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann,
Sanders said, “I was impressed by Father d'Escoto.”
“If this guy is the foreign minister of a 'terrorist nation,' then they
should get another foreign minister, because he is a very gentle, very
loving man,” said Sanders.
He referred to Ortega as “an impressive guy.”
Sanders was also strongly critical of then-President Ronald Reagan.
“The Sandinista government, in my view, has more support among the
Nicaraguan people, substantially more support, than Ronald Reagan has among
the American people,” said Sanders.
“If President Reagan thinks that any time a government comes along, which
in its wisdom, rightly or wrongly, is doing the best for its people, he has
the right to overthrow that government, you're going to be at war not only
with all of Latin America, but with the entire Third World,” he said.
Ortega currently serves as president of Nicaragua. Castro stepped down as
president of Cuba in 2008 and transferred power to his brother Raúl.
Sanders is currently running to be the Democratic nominee for president of
the United States.

有本事又有爱国爱民之心的独裁者远远好于内耗不断，无法解决任何重要问题的民主选
举出来的糟糕总统。
阿萨德是叙利亚的好总统，萨达姆是伊拉克的好总统，卡扎非是利比亚的好总统。穆巴
拉克是埃及的好总统。
奥巴马是美国的败家总统。

越来越多的美国人盼望能够在2016投票选普京当美国总统。
这些人明年都会去投trump的票。因为trump是至今为止，唯一显示出
有leadership的而且有希望把美国从加速没落之路重新领回阳光大道的总统候选人。
