Democratic Socialism is an oxymoron.  It is a silly phrase made up to market an old man to young people.  In 1919, there were about 3,500 libraries in the United States of America.  A little less than half this number, about 1,700, were built by Andrew Carnegie.  Carnegie, who founded Carnegie Steel, which became United States Steel was hardly a socialist.  Sanders gets away with saying that the existence of libraries in America is proof of socialism, because most of his followers have not taken the time or effort to find out what he is talking about.  Government has an important role in protecting us against those who would use their positions of power to poison our food or water.  But, it  should not take over industries that are functioning fairly well.  Fix what is broken.  Take the states out of Medicaid.  Fund care for the poor.   Subsidize drugs for those who need help in paying for them.
