Really? How quickly you've forgot bloody separatist wars in "..istans" (republics) during the fall of SSSR communist regime? Bloody civil war in fall of Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia?
Doesn't change the fact that the change came peacefully, nobody had to shoot their way out of socialism. Romanians did because the ruling family there were butchers and got what they deserved. Unfortunately in most countries of the Eastern Block all the communism politicians went straight back into politics and some of them are in office to this day.
It's a useful discussion because Bernie bros are very similar to us in some ways. Some future nationalist candidate who also emphasizes improving social institutions and helping young people might be able to galvanize both groups to an extent.
If I had to choose between Biden's establishment neoliberals and Bernie bros. I'll go with the bros.
most socialist regimes around the world ended peacefully though like the Soviet Union and the entire Eastern Block except for Romania.

That all happened after the communist regimes fell, they were given freedom and decided that Civil War was their best option, that is their problem.
Totally peaceful. It's not like millions were killed by the regimes. Besides, it wasn't REAL communism!

It's like saying: "I prefer silk rope vs cotton one, to be hang with".
