    Can Democratic Socialism(as discussed by Bernie-bumblers) more accurately be called classic textbook socialism or simply an advocacy for a large welfare state?Socialism or Social Democracy?

    Hi John,

    People on the right (referring to “socialist welfare states in Europe”) are partly responsible for this myth too, but it’s really crazy for Bernie (or Ocasio-Cortez) to be citing Denmark et al. as examples of socialism at work. I actually had a tweet on this just today, showing how Denmark and Sweden rank higher on Heritage Foundation’s Economic Freedom Index than the U.S. does.
