Sweden has essentially been ruled by socialists for a hundred years. It is a democracy, or what passes for one, if that is your thing. Whether Bernie is really the Scandinavian style social democrat he poses as though can be debated.

Problem is, the Scandinavian countries all tried socialist economies after the war, but ended up scraping them for free market economies by the 70s and 80s because their economies almost collapsed. The only remnants of the failed socialist experiment is the generous social safety nets the Scandinavian countries are known for, which only work because Scandinavian countries were ethnically homogeneous with a strong national pride and strong work ethic.

Is Denmark Socialist? It's about Denmark, but the same happened in Norway and Sweden.

Theirs is what is called welfare state capitalism. Social Democracy became less explicitly Marxist in the 50s and 60s. Then moved more right-ward later. Still far from US style capitalism and not far from what Bernie is advocating now. He's not a Soviet style command economy advocate, after all, or even a nationalize the major means of production advocate. He's a welfare statist. Some argue he's not even a genuine socialist of any kind. Even in the modern social democrat sense.

They never tell you the Socialist part ends after (((they))) take power, and then (((elites))) take all your money.
