Sweden's Socialist party rep says Bernie's supporters are no socialists

Johan Hassel the international secretary for Swedens ruling Social Democrats party visited Iowa before the election and had this to say about the people at a Bernie Sanders rally:

“We were at a Sanders event, and it was like being at a Left Party meeting,” he told Sweden’s Svenska Dagbladet newspaper, according to one translation. “It was a mixture of very young people and old Marxists, who think they were right all along. There were no ordinary people there, simply.”

The Left party in Sweden is the communist party which, for some inexplicable reason, changed its name after the fall of the Soviet Union.

So yes an important member of Sweden's socialist party said that Bernie's supporters aren't like the people who support the "Nordic Model" that Democrats keep trying to say is like what Bernie wants.

Essentially Bernie doesn't pass the "democratic socialist" sniff test.
