I bring it up because Sanders' Democratic Socialism has been repeatedly called out as Stalinist and made to be a boogeyman. And I agree, the word socialism is losing meaning because right wing media has been trying to equate democratic socialism with Stalin for years now - I think now is an opportune time to clarify that this is the level of socialism being advocated for, a public/private partnership where the government intervenes in one segment of the market to help guide the others.
