For those who are worried about the “socialist” label, Bernie is referring to the likes of European countries some of whom have more vibrant entrepreneurial capitalist opportunities than we do. But it’s not a healthy capitalism when so many people have no real access to capital.

The only socialists in this country r the 1%. They have names. & if Americans r 2 live in an oligarchy a la @RoyalFamily I’m not sure y our monarchs aren’t clocking in 4 work, experiencing the same daily loss of privacy & doing their job, no free rides, subscribing 2 their words.

Bernie is a good man, but some of his supporters are too extremist. Please unite, not divide

Any ‘planned’ (manipulated) economy is socialism at its core. Our economy while choosing to use fiat currency is living in and allowing socialism. Central banking is at the root of socialism. We have yet to experience true capitalism. #Bitcoin 👍

He should be more clear! Those are all Capitalist countries.

However well intended - the socialist issue is not a winner i the US for at least a generation or two.

But he's also praised Fidel Castro, Sandinistas, & other repressive communist/socialist leaders/regimes. European countries w/ "vibrant entrepreneurial capitalist opportunities" are NOT "socialist." They're democracies. Why does Sanders insists on calling them "socialist"?
