So what are you even implying about Bernie Sanders? Do you think he's socialist or not? Are the nordic countries socialist? If you use socialism in a non-standard meaning of the word, you sort of have to clarify what definition you're using. Has Bernie made any comments that made you think he wants to collectivize all US companies?

I presented my definition in another recent post. I thought that you would get what I meant but oh well. Yeah, I think he's socialist. He wants to redistribute the wealth from the rich and middle class to give to the poor via greatly increased social programs. He said he's okay with forcing people to do it.

If that's your definition of socialist, then basically everyone except for completely laissez faire liberalists are socialists lol. Nearly all tax is used to distribute some wealth from those that have to those that don't have. And tax isn't voluntary. So any politician that doesn't oppose nearly all taxes would be socialist by your definition.

 

At that point, I don't see why you even bother to call it "socialism" except for being able to compare it to Venezuela. Also, you didn't answer about what you thought of the Nordic countries. I'd like to hear what you have to say about them. Because judging by what your definition here they're socialistic as fuck haha. But that's just my interpretation of your opinion, so I'd like to hear how you see it yourself.
