'I think of communism when I think of Bernie,' President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview this past weekend.
"Democratic socialists obviously esteem democracy and social justice and reject a need for a trade off," she said."They seek to enhance liberal democracy with social democracy and a plurality of forms of participation."that the ideology of communism means there would be"no private property, and no class distinctions." Botting explained that democratic socialism, conversely, does not do away with private property or all economic class distinctions.
Many right-wing critics have argued that the ideas espoused by Sanders and other democratic socialists in Congress would lead to the collapse of the U.S. economy, and transform the country into a struggling state similar to South America's Venezuela. However, Botting and Cohen said this assessment was inaccurate, pointing out that Sanders' proposals align more closely with those already implemented by wealthy northern European countries.
Cohen said that Sanders' policies are"closer to those in Sweden than in Venezuela or anywhere in the communist world." She pointed out that this would easily be understood by"anyone in Europe."
