Let's Call A Spade A Spade

Every time the media, right or left, refers to Bernie Sanders he's called the leader of the Socialist Party in America. He has socialist values. He wants socialism on a par with Denmark and Sweden.

Lately I've been seeing videos of Bernie in the Old Soviet Union on his honeymoon drinking shots with the local communist party members. I saw a video from the 1980'w on how we, the socialists, need to aid the communists in Nicaragua.

So, I thought I'd go to Websters dictionary and find out what they officially refer to as socialists. It's eye opening.

a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
