One of the more interesting courses of study I undertook long ago was "Comparative Political/Economic Systems". Nobel Prize-winning economist Friedrich Hayek's book "The Road to Serfdom" is cited in this article and worth reading especially in the context of the increasingly acrimonious tactics of the Socialists that seem to be increasingly dominating the Democrat Party.

Yup, listen to Bernie Sanders carefully when he is cornered on his thinking. He responds violently and implies the questioner is either taking advantage of the government and should be in jail or that the questioner should be jailed for interfering with a politician. His dark socialist side comes out again and again in interviews but the media would never dare to call him "Hitlerian" because he ran on the Democratic ticket.

NONE of these countries you listed are "more socialist" than Venezuela. Not even close... How about Cuba, Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, WWII Italy, East Germany and most other former eastern block "republics? And let's not forget the poverty of the more extreme Islamist states. Israel has a larger GDP than all or her surrounding Islamic neighbors - combined even before they destroyed themselves with endless civil wars.
