About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.

What saddens me is that some ignoramus has probably said the same thing about Bernie Sanders
There are always deviant heretic sects, but they go to Hell!
I think Bernie is proving there is a lot of frustration with the political system. I have met Bernie and live in Vermont. I think his campaigning has been excellent; the right mix of real policy and inspirational difference. I can tell you that his directness is a strength. He will get attacked for it the minute he becomes a threat in the polls.
My wife went to see Hillary speak recently and while she wanted to be generally supportive she was surprised how empty it was--she was even puzzled by the strange parsing of issues that should have been "red meat" to the crowd or even centrist Democrate positions.

I have a daughter the same age as Prof. Wolff's granddaughter (6, nearly 7). She held an election in our house recently. After explaining to her about secret ballots she had us vote. We have 3 people in our house and Bernie was up early 4-1; then my daughter handed me 6 little pieces of paper and asked me to write Bernie's name on each of them. He won easily.
Apologies for moving on before finishing my thought (a lifelong affliction):
"She noted to me that most of the crowd near were saying they supported Bernie. Feel the Bern!"
I think your daughter hbas a future in electoral politics!
