Developing: Bernie was thrown out of commune for writing creepy sex notes in the 1960s
Bernie Sanders says he is all for the working man, but in the 1960s, when push came to shove, even the communists in his Vermont hippie utopia kicked him out for doing absolutely nothing but write lurid sex novels.
Bernie showed up at a commune trying to be a Hunter S Thompson figure.
Then it got worse.
Sanders came to the farm while researching an article on natural childbirth for the Liberty Union Party’s organ, “Movement.” Interest in alternative medicine was strong among members of the counterculture as part of their wider suspicion of modern science, which was associated with the sterility of hospitals and the destruction of war. “Many elements of Western medicine came under suspicion during this period, but none more so than modern obstetrics,” Deloz said.
In Sanders’ article, previously digitized by Mother Jones, he was a critic of old methods of childrearing in which, “infants were bottle fed on assembly line schedules designed by assembly line doctors in order to prepare them for assembly line society.” Bernie believed that natural childbirth was a step toward a more authentic society. All of life is one and if we want to know, for example, how our nation can napalm children in Vietnam—AND NOT CARE—it is necessary to go well beyond ‘politics,’” he wrote.
Bernie wrote even creepier stories that would make any women blush and feel violated, horrified, and scared.
“A man goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A woman on her knees, a woman tied up, a woman abused.
“A woman enjoys intercourse with her man — as she fantasizes being raped by 3 men simultaneously.
“The man and woman get dressed up on Sunday — and go to Church, or maybe to their ‘revolutionary’ political meeting.
“Have you ever looked at the Stag, Man, Hero, Tough magazines on the shelf of your local bookstore? Do you know why the newspaper with the articles like ‘Girl 12 raped by 14 men’ sell so well? To what in us are they appealing?”
