In the European political tradition, nationalists and communists differ only in their excuses for murder, everything else is the same. A fact known also as the Horseshoe theory of far-right and far-left merging in shared love for dictatorship.
So, it shouldn't be surprising that Bannon and Bernie have very similar views behind their, seemingly different, populist demagogy.
