Democratic socialism: what is it? No big deal like Bernie says?

Bernie likes to play down what it is. I think of it as real socialism whereby the people vote it in. I wondered if I was off base so I did what any good American would do and I looked up the definition. The first thing that pops up is below. So, when the MSM ignore Bernie’s own words and the definition of the words, just remember they lied again.

Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates for political democracy alongside a socially owned economy, with a particular emphasis on workers' self-management and democratic control of economic institutions within market socialism, or some form of a decentralised planned socialist economy.

It’s propaganda

Bernie gets upset if you ask him to explain

Democratic socialism leads to democratic communism.

Every Republican in every state needs to vote for Bernie in the Dem primaries. He's the DNC's worst nightmare. Trump would actually have a chance to win all 50 states.

They’ll say it’s what they have in Scandinavia, although the countries located there are the size of Maryland with all homogeneous whites.
Not to mention, their economies are very free-market and they aren’t even socialist.

It’s just communism.

Free Market Capitalism and a Representative Republic (What we're supposed to have)
State Capitalism and a Uniparty (What China has and what the Democrat and GOP Establishments would like us to have)
Democratic Socialism (What Europe had in the 70s and 80s before they went crazy with the EU and importing Mohammedans in massive numbers).

Most left parties in Europe are still democratic socialists, and the guest worker agreements started in the post-war era, specifically the 50s and 60s, not after the 70s. Third Way policies are also tremendously popular too, which is what democratic socialist parties were trending towards before the 2008 recession.

Throughout Bernies life he’s called for:
State owned banks
State owned utilities
State owned healthcare
State owned education
With the 2 latter being his biggest rallying cry this election.
Celtic Dog and other progressives are naive enough to think he and his ilk would just stop at state owned healthcare and education.

This video by Prager U, which is conservative based, is very factual in describing what happens under "Democratic Socialism." I have referenced it a few times
How Soicalism Ruined my country (Brazil)
Lula reminds me very much of Bernie in his descriptions, celebrity praise, and mannerisms. Every form of socialism depends on those in power being incorruptible.
You will see them argue that Socialism works in the US by listing different forms of social programs. THey fail to tell you have most if not all are bankrupt, corrupt or inept. You want to see socialism in action in America? Look no further than the post office or DMV.
You have 0 rebuttals and all you can do is name call.

Which is fricking retarded. Most don't even use Medicare other than as a 2nd form. Furthermore, It's not Medicare, it's Medicaid. Look how well the veteran's healthcare system runs. Do you really want that?

Influential by those in power.

Sadly I disagree.
Bernie would sway a bunch of folks on health care alone.
There is always low hanging fruit when dealing with the envy of money.
Envy is entirely Bernie's platform.

Complete violation of the 10th Commandment.
This is why atheism is a fellow traveler of Communism and Socialism.
