If you can say that with a straight face, I am amazed.
Bernie may be the most socialist in that he wants it installed now. But all the current Democratic candidates propose policies that will eventually steer our nation away from capitalism and towards socialism. More and more government control of EVERYTHING!
The Concept of a guaranteed "living" wage is a socialist concept from Lenin and codified by none other than Joseph Stalin
Provision of "free" healthcare is also on that list
Each parrots the same complaints about the current administration regarding immigration. Virtually all of them propose only slightly different ideas which all come down to open borders.
The Democratic party is hell bent on moving the USA towards a world order. And I believe that can only be accomplished by enforced socialism. For proof of my theory, take a look at the UN. Constructed as a democratic world community, it is virtually useless in bringing nations together as one body.
Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterized by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management, as well as the political theories and movements associated with them. Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen ownership of equity.
There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them, with social ownership being the common element shared by its various forms.

Did your "experts" on socialism bother to tell you it has different forms and degrees of control?
