That Denmark is capitalist is true. But theCarrol Cox challenge wouldbe:is it all (socialist) or nothing (not evenDenmark)? Since there is noworkable design available for the former, might aswell take bits andpieces of the latter (Denmark). Higher minimum wage (undercapitalism),free or heavily subsidized healthcare and free educationthroughuniversity. If the US were to have these the face of Americancapitalismwould be quite different even though the basic social processeswouldremain capitalist I'm not saying the things Bernie Sanders advocates are bad. The point is that he is about to give as speech explaining what he means by socialism. If he is consistent with past remarks, he will say it means something like the Danish welfare state. It doesn't mean that. He is misdefining and redefining the term. That is the point. Jim
