Bernie likes EU-style socialism. He says so. Also, he's been called a sewer socialist, i.e., someone who, when in charge, makes sure the basics (sewers, water, potholes, etc.) are taken care of. Leftists who dwell in theory more than practice sometimes look down on sewer socialism. LibSoc: Chomsky identifies as LibCom--close enough.
I like that. Alright. I'm a sewer socialist. The only times I've ever interracted with campaigners, my first questions are of how the homeless will be treated, how the roads will be maintained, how they choose to bid on infrastructure contracts, and how they're protecting small businesses. If their answer in any way does not confront the question, or if I catch even a whiff of free-market talk, I walk/hang up instantly.
