RE my comment on DK's site, I want to point out that Hitler's party was long called national socialist; although they were nationalists, they were not socialists, either nationalist or internationalist socialists, at all, really, but rather capitalists, and monopoly capitalists at that.
Sanders is a nationalist, economic socialist. The British trade unionists were the closest thing in the English speaking world.
Sadly, the American labor force is so fragmented, dumbed down, hollowed out, and dispossessed of meaningful well paying work and benefits anymore, that someone like Sanders has little broad based organized political support among an informed politically powerful professional work force.
