And neither is Bernie. Could you just stop a little and take this information in?
Bernie is a social democrat, and this is the ideology that shapes Sweden et al.
- He uses the terminology in a sloppy way, that much is true. He might say "socialism" when actually talking "social democracy" - as is clear when he points to Denmark as a role model, which is not a "socialist", but a "social democratic" country. Also, that's all there is to all that.
Please please please before you take a shot at me again just consider this information.

That college is tuition-free does not mean that everyone can go to any college (or university) to study anything. There might be requirements, like good grades in the lower schools. Or a test. Depending where and what you want to study.
Also, I don't know how other countries do it, but we don't keep universities tuition-free forever. You have to work towards your degree with reasonable speed. There are requirements to be met in that regard.
