    As far as I know, they are social-democrats, full-left would be anti-capitalist or anarchist, which they are not.

          Isn’t it compatible with the democrat socialist philosophy of progressive change as opposed to a revolution?

            Yeah I was just clarifying that Bernie is not a democratic socialist himself, he just misuses the label (although that misuse is more common than not nowadays)

        You seem to be correct according to his Wikipedia pages, he describes himself as a democrat socialist (which is more anti-capitalist than social democrat), but also an admirer of Northern European social democracies, and certainly an opponent of neo-liberalism. I guess he would oppose communism in his vision of giving economical power to people through democratic worker unions and cooperatives, rather than having everything centralized by an authoritarian state.

      These discussions never lead to anything productive.

      I firmly-believe most people who engage in them are autistic.
