I was gonna reply that they aren't socialist countries when he replied.

Bernie has made proposals that are socialist in nature and not something normal democrats would propose. He's very far left and basically a socialist. Democratic socialist is just a nicer way of saying socialist. Whenever someone tries implementing something people wouldn't like, they'll do it slowly. That applies mostly to governments and businesses. Bernie would turn the country into Venezuela in a few years. 

Do us all a favor say exactly what you're referring to rather than replacing it with the term "socialist".
That way no one will get confused by your definition of the term, including yourself.

So by all means tell us what proposals you're referring to.

And by the way, Venezuela is a dictatorship. Not the best example of countries Bernie supposedly wants to emulate.

Bernie was praising it before they started to eat their pets.

Redistribution of wealth from rich and middle class, social programs increased to cover everything like utilities/place to stay, increased size of government and it's authority.

I go by the normal definition of it but I also take in mind how it would translate into policy.
