Bernie borrowed a lot of the Occupy rhetoric, or else Occupy borrowed from Bernie who had been saying the same things for 40 years or more prior to Occupy. These are less strictly socialist movements that don't advocate an entirely socialist economy, but a mixed one. Bernie's movement is a lot more significant than the "Venus Project," which I have never heard of.

Bernie started his political career in the 1960s, so he would be somewhere between the two layers of Red. Same for Corbyn.

Maybe, but I don't think "Occupy" and an internet group are sufficient definitions of the top layer of red. Occupy was apolitical and thus had little lasting influence, and internet groups are not meaningful IMO. So the top layer must in fact be socialism as implemented in the sixties and 70s and since then in Europe (socialist parties and governments in Scandinavia and Western Europe) and in left movements in the USA then; the New Left and folks like Bernie Sanders.
