Time for Bernie to Stop Calling Himself "Dem Socialist," Because He's Not

[onit2day]

4. That is your opinion and your definition of the terms which only confuses the issue

Democratic socialist by definition do not want to control the means of production. They democratically (by electing representatives to enact and decide the legislation and how it works) support and take part in programs that benefit our democratic society as a whole, like libraries, fire departments, Medicare, Medicaid, SS, the VA, Medicare for all if Bernie's legislation passes (one day it will), unemployment, child labor law, 40hr wrk weeks, child care. police departments, the list goes on and on. So if you support or partake in any of these programs you are a democratic socialist. To refuse to call yourself a Democratic Socialist is equivalent to saying, "keep you government hands off my Medicare", lol. Your technical definitions just serve to obfuscate the subject and serves no purpose.
