Yes, he’s a democratic-socialist along the lines of Bernie Sanders, but not a communist. He wants wealth redistribution through the tax system but doesn’t want to do away with capitalism. He wants the government to control and regulate industry and the markets but he doesn’t want the govt to own the means of production. His beliefs track almost perfectly with the soft socialism of the Europeans. Like I said earlier, he wants to turn America into Denmark, not Cuba. Some people seem to like the added drama and excitement that comes with believing he’s a communist, but I think that’s pretty far fetched.

In other words, his idea of government control of the economy is indirect, rather than direct, huh? >Yes, he’s a democratic-socialist along the lines of Bernie Sanders I have heard that Barry is somewhat more left-wing than Bernie.
