LEÓN KRAUZE, UNIVISION: I am sure that you know about this topic: various leftist governments, especially the populists, are in serious trouble in Latin America. The socialist model in Venezuela has the country near collapse. Argentina, also Brazil, how do you explain that failure?
BERNIE SANDERS: You are asking me questions…
LEÓN KRAUZE, UNIVISION: I am sure you’re interested in that.
BERNIE SANDERS: I am very interested, but right now I’m running for President of the United States.
LEÓN KRAUZE, UNIVISION: So you don’t have an opinion about the crisis in Venezuela?
BERNIE SANDERS: Of course I have an opinion, but as I said, I’m focused on my campaign.

Socialism doesn't win U.S national elections, so for now I think its a non issue and Bernie is hanging in hoping for some miracle.

Is that why you think he didn't want to get into it? If it were me, I would take every opportunity to clear up misconceptions about my particular brand.

The armed forces could be considered socialistic. All those toys don't come for free, neither do the campaigns that go on for decades and the military bases and staff all over the world
All need to be paid for by society, for the "greater good". If you can spend money killing people you can spend money saving or healing people. Depends on a societies priorities on how tax revenue is best spent

Defend whatever definition of socialism you're using this week.
