Heading into South Carolina, it appeared that Democrats were taking the express train to socialism. Sen. Bernie Sanders arguably won the chaotic Iowa caucuses, then went on to a solid victory in New Hampshire, and a crushing triumph in Nevada. As the race went toward the Palmetto State, there was talk that Sanders might be able to deliver a “kill shot.” Instead, Joe Biden revived his candidacy with a dominant win, fueled by black voters who tend to be more pragmatic than the pro-revolution wing of the party.

A day after winning Nevada, 60 Minutes aired an interview with Sanders in which he dug in on his decades of defenses of the propagandist “literacy programs” of communist Cuba. He later did so again at the Democratic debate in South Carolina.
