Bernie Sanders Was Asked to Leave Hippie Commune for Shirking, Book Claims
Bernie Sanders was asked to leave a hippie commune in 1971 for “sitting around and talking†about politics instead of working, according to a forthcoming book.
We Are As Gods by Kate Daloz, scheduled for release April 26, chronicles the rise and fall of the Myrtle Hill Farm in northeast Vermont. Daloz, a Brooklyn writer, was in a special position to write a history of Myrtle Hill: she was raised near the commune in a geodesic dome residence with an outhouse called the Richard M. Nixon Memorial Hall. Her parents were close acquaintances of the commune residents, who offered them tips about wilderness living.
In the summer of 1971, Myrtle Hill received a visitor: Bernie Sanders, aged 30, at the cusp of his political career with the socialist Liberty Union Party.

Why does this not surprise me?
Methuselah's always been a talker and a taker, not a doer and a giver.

Didn't most communes fail because of "shirkers"?

Yes of course, they always fail, because most people want to sign up only as resident poet or guitar player. The heavy work, like actually growing food, usually falls to the women, who are also expected to be available in bed. FAIL.
Bernie has never worked an honest day in his life. Chilling how many people are amourous over him.
