All of these stem from what Sanders calls \u00dcber-capitalism, a form of the political system which has spiraled out of control and demands a political revolution.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBut Sanders\u2019 new book also takes moments to recount personal experiences. Sanders remembers his older brother Larry introducing him to authors like Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx, and he even writes about the Bernie mittens meme that went viral after President Biden\u2019s inauguration: \u201cThat was weird\u201d he writes of the meme. \u201cThere I was with my mittens on the moon, at the Last Supper, on the Titanic, alongside Forrest Gump, next to Spider-Man, on top of skyscrapers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tPick up It\u2019s <em>OK to Be Angry About Capitalism<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XQ8tqr?asc_source=web&#038;asc_campaign=web&#038;asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rollingstone.com%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fbooks%2Fbernie-sanders-new-book-review-where-to-buy-online-1234683912%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">on Amazon here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0593608968?tag=rollingston07-20&#038;linkCode=ogi&#038;th=1&#038;psc=1&#038;language=en_US&#038;asc_source=web&#038;asc_campaign=web&#038;asc_refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rollingstone.com%2Fproduct-recommendations%2Fbooks%2Fbernie-sanders-new-book-review-where-to-buy-online-1234683912%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-pmc-sp-product=\"8f3f5c1637e898d9c540e99cf1827fcd\" data-category-name>\t<svg>\t<use xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/#triangle-right\" \/>\t<\/svg>\t\t\t\t<span>\tBuy It\u2019s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism $30.00<\/span>\t\t<\/a>\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/product-recommendations\/books\/bernie-sanders-new-book-review-where-to-buy-online-1234683912\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Oscar Hartzog<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sanders\u2019 anger with the \u2018uber-capitalist status quo\u2019 seems to be shared: his new book, \u2018It&#8217;s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism,\u2019 has just topped Amazon\u2019s book charts If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission.
