The discussion of the Sanders campaign in “mainstream” media discourse is heavily propagandistic, completely failing to provide audiences with an accurate understanding of the difference between socialism and social democracy, the latter of which Sanders actually embraces, despite his rhetorical support for the former….Bernie Sanders is neither a radical nor a revolutionary; therefore, he is no socialist. He just want a welfare state under managed capitalism instead of a market state under neoliberalism.
