When talking about what he wants a socialist United States to look like, Sen. Bernie Sanders obviously doesn’t point to countries like Venezuela or Cuba. He looks toward Scandinavia.
“We should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people,†the Vermont independent said during a 2016 presidential debate, according to the Washington Examiner.
When I’ve talked to other socialists, they’ve said the exact same thing. They quickly usher me past socialist hellholes such as Gaddafi’s Libya or Maduro’s Venezuela and instead look at the great, shining example in the north of Europe — the paragon of what democratic socialism is supposed to look like.
