You don’t seem to comprehend the difference between a government that is democratically elected with social programs for all and a dictator in a socialist country where the government owns everything.

I suggest you learn the difference between successful democratic socialist countries like the Nordic countries, countries that have social democratic parties like Canada, Switzerland and most Western European countries and dictatorships.

It’s embarrassing every time you misuse a word.
You don't seem to comprehend the difference between a socialist country and a country with large safety nets funded by capitalism.
Capitalism is synonymous with the "democratic" part. Where do you think Bernie and the others will be getting the funding? From our capitalist economy. And these democratic countries' health care for all are not safety nets.
These countries slammed Bernie for calling them socialist. Bernie has a history of admiration for dictators, in authoritarian socialist countries. These Nordic nations have large welfare states but they combine them with relatively low levels of regulation. The socialism proposed by Bernie and others go way beyond what the Nordic countries have.as far as government control of the economy.

A reminder, Hugo Chavez was democratically elected.

Who has a current admiration for dictators? If that’s a reason not to vote for someone we all know who has to be voted out.

You’re wrong about Nordic countries having less regulations. Conservatives love to complain about regulating against greed, corruption, consumer harm and incompetence, something inherent with capitalism. Their capitalism is regulated too.

Exactly which programs go “too far”?

Hugo Chavez was elected and ended up being incompetent. Something our democracy knows something about currently.

Infiwars? Lol, so that’s not an actual journalist.
Should we start listing all the legitimate journalists Trump has attacked in the past years? How about him booting journalists from the White House? We’re you this outraged then?

I'm not wrong, but I do believe you think regulations are all aimed at water, environmental, etc...

Can I wear a press cap or claim to be the press when POTUS comes to town again?

I know what a regulation is. But since Nordic countries and the US are not alike it’s impossible to compare regulations. It’s just not true that they have a better capitalist system because of less regulations. That’s such a right wing talking point.

Which programs does Bernie want the government to control? You didn’t answer.

The regulations on business are less, which is why the corporate tax rate is lower.

A better question on Bernie would be which ones does he NOT want to control.

I'd like you to back up your claims. The United States corporation tax rate is currently 21%. Sweden has a 21.5% corporate tax rate currently. Norway is 24%. Denmark is 22%. Tax deductions are also not as common in Nordic countries as they are in the United States where billion dollar corporations pay zero dollars in federal taxes.

So unless you have some other information you're wrong that they have lower corporate tax rates because of less regulation.

You said that Bernie has suggested programs that go too far but you couldn't name one?
