Not much to argue with there but I still think the US working classes have more to gain under Sanders than any of the likely others. Obviously they would be better served with some one who was going to abandon the whole rotten system altogether but that's not going to happen nor is the political reality at that stage. Far from it. There is a lot of work yet to do in the US before that would be remotely possible but I would hope Sanders is a beginning towards that end.
