little of which has much of anything to do with anything Sanders is talking about.

Socialism always comes down to the means of production, which, in all modern societies, has pretty well worked out where the common or the capitalist is more efficient.

Other than that, the pesky little details like putting workers on corporate boards, wage and price controls, and other stuff to help manage the economy tend to end up irrelevant and not really do what they planned to do.

Just coming up with another wealth adjusting or welfare plan, no matter how well-intentioned or how well it works, is not socialism of any sort.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
