Is Bernie being straight with his followers?

I just heard a young man saying that Bernie is not a socialist...that his brand of socialism is more like that used in the Scandinavian nations. I wonder if any of Bernie's followers will ever learn that Denmark is fed up with Bernie using them as an example of how socialism is so great...stating that they are NOT a socialist country.

And Sweden, another of Bernie's "models" is moving away from being a welfare state because that is not a sustainable model.

I need to follow this link to see what exactly was said. But from what I've heard, Bernie Sanders sounds like a socialist to me. He has promised free education and so much other free stuff, but nothing is really free. Of course, we know who foots the bill: us, the taxpayers. The higher the taxes, the more socialistic a country is, at least according to the definition of socialism as I understand it.
