Publisher’s Summary
Today, Bernie Sanders is a household name, a wildly popular presidential candidate, and an icon for progressive Democrats in the US. But back in the 1980s, this “democratic socialist” - though some folks would prefer the term “social democrat” - was mayor of Burlington, Vermont, where his administration attempted radical reforms. Some efforts were successful, but when a waterfront deal failed, it was not due to Sanders’ efforts; he would rather compromise and have a net gain than be an ideological purist.
In his preface to this reissue of the 1990 book, Challenging the Boundaries of Reform, W. J. Conroy reflects on the recent legacy of Sanders, his agenda for America, and his appeal to young voters. His audiobook then looks back to identify Sanders’ experience in Burlington by examining several case studies that unfolded amid a conservative trend nationally, an unsympathetic state government, and a hostile city council.
Ultimately, Conroy asks what lessons can be drawn from the case of Burlington that would aid the American left in a struggle to capture both government and civil society.

This will trigger the MAGA bunker / trailer park wingnuts.

I don’t know about triggered or a trailer park but Berni sure let everyone down. It funny to see how he’s being ridiculed now by progressives and his “Bros” I guess folks finally saw through his two houses and millions in the bank as he supports more war and more Neocon and Neolib fascism.
Up with Jimmy Dore!!

Sanders became a millionaire by running for pResident, twice, and taking payoffs to bow out… laughing all the way to the bank!
A man who has never held a real job and only a political one….. please.
He knows how to appeal to the “have nots”, the leeches and the lazy…… suckers who contribute what little they have to a charismatic (barely) left wing loser.
trailer park? YOU should be so lucky!

A Millionaire “Socialist”.
Typical for that bottom feeding group.
“Do as I say, not as I do”.
I guess now the bernie crowd can masturbate in their rooms while reading about the “little guy”.
Bernie would eat his own bowel movement for money

Just 4 comments in & already we’re masturbatin’!
Burlington Bernie is great, but any Larry David books?

A few million in the bank from book deals doesn’t make a “millionaire” in the age of Billionaires. Bernie is one of the few politicians that really care about the people that they’re supposed to represent. By the way, Capitalism will fail in the end because it leaves most of the people behind.

Lol, as predicted.
If a poor person espouses social responsibility they are economically jealous. If a rich man does the same they are hypocrite or a “Champagne socialist.”

The book about a man who says to help the poor and says to share the wealth however his 3 mansions must have slipped his mind to help the homeless. socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried.

Ah… the socialist playbook….
attack the opposition as “haters” or some other derogatory label…
bring up whataboutisms to deflect….
ignored the facts that Bernie the Red’s ideas have failed everywhere they have been tried (Europe is not socialist!)……
…plus… we don’t see Bernie practicing “FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS MEANS to each according to their needs”.
No… he wants to use other peoples’ money! Other people he can force by act of law - legalized theft.
Suckers!

republican monopoly capitalist are always crying over others making a few pennies while stealing billions.

Hmmm I’m not right or left. I loath them all. lol
What is it about Bernie failing to support $15min wage, Medicare for all, student dept relief, or.. the $2000 relief cheque that makes him a good guy?
Why is it that returning to a Bush an Obama war footing and starting up the bombing again that Bernie has tried to stop….
If you support these… criminals you are just as bad

@leadingnorth: what complete nonsense are you on?
Bernie supported, and even sponsored bills for, all the things you say he is against.
You seem to have confused him with Mitch McConnell.

It’s so hilarious to watch people who have no idea what socialism is, call a non-socialist a millionaire socialist. But you were wrong from the jump because there’s nothing wrong with making money off your own labor (like writing books). I understand the news man says socialism is when no money, but socialism is entirely based on who owns the means of production and has nothing to do with how much money you do or do not have.
One day ameribrains will realize this, and maybe they’ll also realize that they’re literally stealing from capital owners on this site.
