    He was born in Brooklyn, New York just months before America’s entry into the Second World War and grew up in an eerily prosperous country while the rest of the world tried to rebuild. As the son of a Jewish immigrant from Poland whose family was killed by the Nazis, Bernie found himself naturally opposed to elitism among other core reactionary beliefs at a young age. Perhaps this is why instead of receiving an Ivy League education like many who are interested in politics; Bernie instead studied at Brooklyn College for a year and then transferred to the University of Chicago during which time he became involved with The Young People’s Socialist League. This marked his first real political activity and served to solidify his growing suspicion that capitalism may be incompatible with…
