Some of the Bernie Sanders supporters are resorting to calling the far left or "ultra-left" childish for our obstructing the "movement" of all movements. It's like Obamacare dammit, it's just a start of something big, soon we'll have single payer!

We're compared to those during Trotsky and Lenin's time as obstructionists to the good of the movement. Not just childish but infantile.
"Lenin wrote about the same ultraleft obstructionism in the early days of the Russian Revolution—he called it "an infantile disorder." Infantile indeed—like children, certain far-left pontificators are lost in their private dreamworld of stark reds and blacks, of clean polarities and heroic resolutions, stubbornly insulated from the grimy real world of grays and halftones, of swarming strife, complexity, and perversity."
I don't know what these people don't understand.
Bernie Sanders supports U.S. imperialism, lock, stock and barrel. I haven't seen a single Sanders' supporter say otherwise. Some fabricate the notion that he will reduce military spending and alter the Empire's vicious and racist imperialist agenda, but there is no evidence for that in his words or his deeds. He's a zionist who will support the Zionist quest for Greater Israel, just like Bush and Obama have. He's a military industrial complex adherent who will stay the course on the militarization of every corner of the planet.
But the moderate/conservative white left think it's all worth it because Sanders is fighting against wealth inequality and promises Single Payer. As well described by John V. Walsh at Counterpunch:
"So the question must be put. Is it moral to support a candidate to get some more goodies in return for the sacrifice of ever more lives by the US military machine? Or if this moral appeal does not move the Sanders supporters, then the prospect of a new World War with Russia and/or China should give them pause. As a decades long worker for Single Payer, I am not willing to gain Single Payer as Bernie promises at the cost of more war, death to innocents in the developing world and perhaps annihilation of humanity. The task for Bernie supporters is to demand and get an antiwar stance or drop their support. Not only is this a winning strategy as opposed to the losing strategy Sanders is now pursuing; it is the ethical position."

People are dying, countries are being destroyed including our own because of U.S. imperalism. It's nothing but racist anglo-saxon white supremacy redeux in the 21st century to support any politician that supports and adhers to U.S. imperialism. American exceptionalism rampaging the world so it's citizens can dream about Single Payer and fifteen bucks an hour minimum wage. The ruling class that controls the U.S, government, and Bernie Sanders, appears to be barreling uninhibited toward World War III. Call it childish, infantile, whatever. Those blindly supporting Sanders while he continues with his advocacy of U.S. imperialism and Israeli Zionism are the childish ones. No, childish isn't the word for that. It's out and out support for imperialist murder and racist apartheid.
So screw that William Kaufman and other Sanders (and THEREFORE Democratic party) supporters and your solidarity for your fake movement. It's not that fucking complicated. I'm not signing up for any more imperialism and will not take part in any movement to continue it. You want solidarity for a movement, try joining the far left's movement of no more compromise. It's big, it's getting bigger and I can guarantee you they aren't voting for Bernie Sanders. Dream on about Bernie Sanders changing his position on U.S. imperialism. It won't happen, live with it. When you find your morals let us know. Maybe when you have to vote for Clinton you'll wake up. But I doubt it, you had seven years of Obama and still don't get it.
