  1. There are many reasons people consider Bernie a communist. He tries to justify his policy ideas by pointing to other nations who have some form of "free" healthcare, "free" college, etc. But his policies go far more toward taking power away from the people and giving it to government. He wants to ban private healthcare, for example. And when he talks about Scandinavia, what he doesn't tell you is that they're simply not doing what he plans to do to America. In addition to having private health insurance, they have school voucher programs, they have no minimum wage laws, and they don't penalize the wealthy with high corporate tax rates, to name a few differences. Bernie's divisive rhetoric when it comes to "the billionaire class" is also reminiscent of Soviet Russia and the horrors that sort of talk unleashed. And yes, Bernie's praise of socialistic nations that took government power too far doesn't help either (e.g., Russia, Cuba, Venezuela).
