You are so full of it its not even funny.
It's not funny because I'm not full of it. Once you figure that out you see the joke is in you saying it. All part of the Bernie supporters great hate campaign. I think ole' Winston would agree that when people see malice from the respondent, they see the respondent as seeking to crush the truth.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

Bernie never filled my head with anything. I look at the data at its clear.
While I admit you can see right through Bernie, forget the data and look at the MAN and his BEHAVIOR!

If those items I listed and the other 75 are not socialist then what makes you say Bernie is socialist?
Um, 60 years of socialist activities, memberships, er--- 60 years of DATA! It's clear he's a socialist. What makes me say he's a socialist is you needing to be told what you refuse to see. Otherwise there'd be no point in stating the obvious.

I tell you what
give me the definition of Socialism (what you think it means)
I don't have a definition of socialism. I go by what you might call the traditional definition. That dictionary you're gonna get out might have a few words on the subject, but a basic introduction would drag on beyond the volume of a Merriam Webster.
I'd take a stab at Bernie being a Utopian Socialist. The naivete, the contradiction, the lack of organization of thought. Except Bernie keeps saying "Revolution," the Utopian Socialists aren't supposed to believe in that. Well, a contradiction, eh?
If you really want to learn of socialism, try reading the book that started it all. Unintentionally. 'On the Best State of a Republic and on the New Island of Utopia.' Sir Thomas More, aka "The Man for all Seasons." Ironically my thought is he was trying to show you what is WRONG with such thinking. This place is a Totalitarian nightmare, foreigners are allowed in as slaves and every home has two, yet you are owned by your job, by the land you work on, etc. Scary as this place was described as being, the novel captured the imaginations of so many of the purveyors of this crap: Robert Owen, Charles Fourier, Étienne Cabet, all formed communities in the 'New World' that failed miserably, simply because the ideas didn't work. Still, the novel is not why Henry the VIII cut his head off.
But you go ahead and follow Marx. Start with his thoughts on losing the ability to determine your own life, your own destiny. Bernie would be proud. Afterall, as a socialist demogogue, he wants to whip you up into such a state you'll surrender all control to HIM. Dang, you're not even in the U.S., no wonder he can't get many votes.

Now having said that all the negative shit you are trying to spread about Bernie is BS and all funded by Hilary and Trump to tarnish Bernie's name. In fact Hilary hired people to troll pro Bernie FB groups and get them shut down.
Maybe you are just paid to post this BS.
That would still be better than the Bernie supporters running around being violent, not even getting paid to but simply because they enjoy oppression. What is it about socialists that make them so criminally insane?
How much you suppose Hillary or Trump would pay me? Tell them I give excellent historical perspective. I'm even good with quotes, such as from this idol of my teen years here.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
