Because Sanders was a 'hands off Cuba' type from his college days into his middle age. In the dorm rooms and communes he inhabited into his thirties this was a common view, but it was not a common view elsewhere. All those other people, however, dupes of Establishment propaganda, were wrong --- either foolish people who were deceived and could not see the Truth so clear to 'Bernie', in which case it was his calling to teach them better than they knew themselves, or else they were actively aligned with the Establishment, in which case they were actually and actively wrong and had to be shut down and otherwise got out of the way by Revolution. In any case, their views did not count, because those views were not the Truth known to 'Bernie'. In essence, this view of the people around him has not changed. Their views, the views they think they hold, are mistaken and wrong, but it is all right, because all they need is 'Bernie' to think for them, and lead them to what they really want --- which is just what 'Bernie' wants. The man is incapable of comprehending disagreement with him, cannot accept there are views that are not his, but nonetheless are sound and legitimate views.



"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
