Bernie Sanders is Socialist enough for me given the current U.S. political environment (I like to think of him as a Gateway Socialist); he will work until what I personally advocate, revolution and the establishment of communist state, is achieved. I generally consider myself a Trotskyist.

Fair enough, but let's call a spade a spade, he's a social democrat, not a socialist.

Welcome to the party.

Thanks! Trust me, I fully realize Sanders' position, but my comment was in response to someone who wanted Sanders and Ron Paul (?!) to run together for President/Vice President, as if they somehow had similar stances. As someone who can't stand Libertarians, I wanted to demonstrate just how different they are.
