"His '21st Century Economic Bill of Rights'"

"Most of these measures aren't socialist, in the proper sense of the word, and many of his ideas overlap with those of various campaign rivals who do not use that word at all (though you could argue that his rivals are merely paying lip service to some of the more progressive items they've endorsed). The proposals could be described, accurately, as the application of New Deal principles to ease contemporary forms of wealth inequality, or as a turn away from the neoliberal politics that have dominated the Democratic Party since Reagan.
"But they could also be described as a means of using government power to rein in capitalism—thus preserving it. That's what FDR did, and that’s why many actual socialists hated him. Though Sanders is tinkering with one proposal that could resemble collective ownership of the means of production, it's not the main thrust of most of his policy plans, which—like FDR's—piss off capitalists while preserving the core of the capitalist system."
