“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” sounds really fair, to a twelve year old. But someday you learn that some faceless bureaucrat gets to decide what you need, and what your ability is.

Not even. Even in those places, it is in a constant state of reform trying to find the perfect "third way".

Look at the mess Sweden was before the reforms. Norway only somewhat works because of the oil money.

Doesn't matter anyway, because none of these places is homogeneous anymore and growing less by the day. Literally.

“Is it a society where the government owns every mom-and-pop store?”

Well, with the IRS and EPA we pretty much have that today - so which parts of the Federal leviathan is Bernie planning to trim away, so that government no longer ruthlessly stomps on small business? :)
