Socialism uses a system that capitalism made, and then handicaps capitalism as much as possible so as to protect the plutocrats.
Socialist's intensions are understandable but realizing those intensions using socialism is not possible.

Ron Paul voted against every bill during his Representancy. I doubt that Sanders has done the same.
You have done no fact checking have you? Ron Paul yea on plenty of things including invading Iraq but at least he was man enough to admit he was wrong. Here is his voting record.
Ron Paul's Voting Records
Bernie voted against the Iraq war.
You do know that in some socialist countries the people have even more freedoms than we do in America don't you? Thanks to the policies brought forth by the Democrats and Republicans the American people have become nothing more than slaves to the elite and the banks and corporations they own.

Common Core Curriculum Some Vermont schools will open the school year with some revised curriculum to meet more rigorous national education standards called the Common Core. While Vermont has accepted the standards, some Republican governors are modifying them, pushing back against what they call the federal government's intrusion into the classroom, AP reported.

So following the policies of countries that have less crime and a higher standard of living for the poor and middle class is a bad thing?
The man is not talking about reinventing the wheel.
He is talking about analysing successful programs in other countries and finding practical ways to implement already proven ideologies here in the USA.
Me on the other hand, I would like to reinvent the wheel. But I am willing to settle for the more practical approach of implementing proven programs.

Plutocrats benefit off a capitalist system not a socialist system.
Except in nations where it actually works.

I am not a fan of lenin, or Marx.
