I wish everyone, including Bernie Sanders, would stop conflating democracy with capitalism. We all know that present day Democratic Socialism is very much a system that includes much capitalism. So, it is NOT Democratic Socialism; it is Capitalistic Socialism or Capital Socialism. It is a system that taxes the rich and its capital, to fund the youth-of-today's education, health and housing, and to pay for transportation, communication and energy infrastructure for all---the social needs of the commons. The process of democracy can bring about caitalism, or socialism but it is neither.
By the way, this writer is much in favor of Capital Funded Socialism or Capital Socialism.
