Again and again, the point made is "that's not socialism!", and this is exactly said misconception. It maybe is not, but it perfectly aligns with social democracy. The Nordic countries are shaped by social democrat's ideas. They come with all kinds of freedoms.
Your idea of Bernie socialism is not what Bernie has in mind. He has Denmark in mind. And his ideas largely fit that model.
Be assured, I won't vote for Sanders. For I live in one of those countries like the nordic countries that are shaped by social democracy, where Sanders wouldn't be a radical guy at all. And it sure is not a doomed hellhole. Life is good here.
I think he missed the part where the author stated the Nordic states are a combination of capitalism and social welfare programs; not socialism.
But, hey, he needs a gun for the coming he’ll of socialism.
