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.

Bernie’s a social democrat, not just a socialist, his views are centrist to the rest of the developed world. The media will do anything to keep their corporate paycheck funded by corrupt officials in the dnc and rnc.

If America is socialist for Jeff Bezos, Big Banks & ExxonMobil (and we are), then we ought to be socialist for the working class & recognize healthcare as a human right. Without it, there is no life, liberty & certainly no pursuit of happiness. Watch #RequiemfortheAmericanDream

Exactly which is why #UBI is the best way to get capital into ALL people’s hands - do ALL the policies, not just some

well...yeah. Thanks for the clarification. "Capitalism" fails without socialist principles in play. Example: Trump tariffs and farm subsidies.

Bernie literally just said like yesterday that he is “no expert on Sweden’s economy”. The man is an oldschool socialist, please don’t lie to yrself. Denmark’s PM came out to clarify the Nordic model because “some US politicians believe Denmark a socialist country, we are not”.

Who are these European socialists vibrant economic countries your referring to? I just simply cannot relate to a general statement as your argument. If your ready to advocate a total overhaul of our economic system, what specific changes are you suggesting?
Replying to @marwilliamson
He adopted that label himself though. Those countries don't label themselves as socialists at all. Why is he false advertising? He can either be a socialist or not. Can't have it both ways.

But those countries OBJECT to that characterization. Weird.
But remember, anything a Government does outside of the military and the post office is socialism.

I see clips on YouTube of @foxnews calling Obama the same. They called Obama a socialist, marxist, communist... Barack "HUSSEIN" Obama. From the clips I've seen, it seems they were pretty nasty to Obama. So I'm not worried about Bernie being called a Socialist or a commie 🥰
