Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is not shy about letting America know how much he loves communism, a point he reinforced on Sunday.

During an interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, Sanders once again defended Fidel Castro's Cuban regime, claiming everything wasn't actually bad under the dictator. 

After being asked to explain comments he made in the 1980s about Castro, Sanders said, "We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba, but, you know, it’s simply unfair to say everything is bad."

He added, "You know, when Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?"
