It's not a great analogy, to be fair, but I don't think Bernie was trying to single out Stalin, who did indeed have an unwaveringly loyal following, to the point of being problematic.
Again. It is not really about Russia.
HITLER 2.0 ELETRIC BOOGALOO. How about compare it to a facist????? Mussolini? Hitlerite cult?
But Berine brain after hearing too many gun shot in schools compare it to a communist first, personifying the meme. Well past it my ass.
Using Hitlerite cult would've been more apt, right?
