Bernie Sanders advocated for the nationalization of most major industries, including energy companies, factories, and banks, when he was a leading member of a self-described"radical political party" in the 1970s, a CNN KFile review of his record reveals.
Sanders' past views shed light on a formative period of his political career that could become relevant as he advances in the 2020 Democratic primary.Many of the positions he held at the time are more extreme compared to the more tempered democratic socialism the Vermont senator espouses today and could provide fodder for moderate Democrats and Republicans looking to cast the Democratic presidential candidate and his beliefs as a fringe form of socialism that would be harmful to the country.
