every time bernie says denmark is a socialist country, an angel loses its wings (hat tip @Altimor for the thorough answer here, unfortunately once again relevant)https://www.quora.com/What-do-libertarians-think-of-prosperous-yet-largely-socialist-Scandinavian-countries/answer/Florent-Crivello …

it's not a false binary. you either live in a country in which industry is controlled privately or you don't. bernie sanders has a long history of espousing real socialism - the nationalization of most industry in this country. what he wants is absolutely nothing like scandinavia
"oh but 'democratic socialism.'" that is a made up thing. socialism is almost *always* democratic. but once dominant it necessarily, to sustain itself, collapses into dictatorship. and no, "democratic socialists" aren't running scandinavia.

so hypothetically, if I said I favor free markets in most industries but I want single-payer healthcare and the government in charge of education, which side of your non-false binary am I on?
-
it depends, have you abolished the private option? do you believe i should be allowed to open my own school? purchase my own healthcare?
