This isn’t what would happen. Realistically all that will happen is the party ignoring him and continuing to pander to the right. The last time the democrats were progressive was under Roosevelt. Not much longer and that will be 100 years ago.

And you expect the party to simply follow suit and embrace his policies?
You should not attempt to reform something which is not reformable. Instead start something new.
In general, you should not reform. Revolution is the way forward.
Roosevelt was the least bad president and was ruling during a time where the US ended up on the right side of a conflict. He still did not abolish capitalism or the American empire, nor did he have any intentions to.
But that doesn’t make the democrats good, it doesn’t make one side better, it doesn’t make the US good.
I wouldn’t say those are Bernie supporters. They’re left of Bernie as you’ve noted.
Yet many left-libs are willing to throw theory out of the window just to have a chance to slightly nudge the democrats to the left. His supporters are willing to leave class consciousness and struggle behind for some crumps of concessions. Those left of Bernie who are not his supporters, don’t.
That’s US politics as a whole. Ever since the first Trump presidency a blue MAGA has been forming in the democrat camp. They’ve taken over pretty much all representation online by now. Bernie is also a victim of this by a similar left-lib MAGA forming around him.
With the coming change I hope more countries will join the Belt & Road initiative.
You know Marx wrote several books about that. And he’s by far not the only person who has.
The first step in the right direction is delegitimising the state and its institutions. Protest, normalisation and strategic use of political violence. Disruption and sabotage of the economy as much as that’s possible for an individual or group. The building of mass movements, not necessarily political parties, with a concentrated vanguard leadership.
