What kind of "socialist " is Bernie Sanders ?

What makes it so difficult to find homes for homeless people is that the state has too much respect for private property. A socialist government would simply order the " owner " of a hotel with vacant rooms to shelter the homeless-and do it cheaply. It would soon end the capitalist real estate business.

  [   Ron, I don't know very much about Senator Sanders. Is "ordering the owner of a hotel with vacant rooms to shelter homeless-and do it cheaply" the type of behavior Senator Sanders would be advocating?]

There are very many different shades of " socialist ". Senator Bernie Sanders is really closer to a New Deal reformer than a militant socialist.But since the right wing is calling President Obama a " socialist ", calling Hillary a " socialist ", I think Bernie must seem a dangerous Bolshevik to them.
In principle ANY socialist must question private property rights under capitalism. We must have a national debate on the very legitimacy of" legitimate ". wealth.
I do not scorn any New Deal type reforms of capitalism.Do you think we would ever get a referendum on capitalism ?
