Is Bernie Sanders A Communist?

It seems like Bernie Sanders thinks the solution to all of our problems is to take money from rich people and redistribute it to working class people. Of course working class people eat this up, but could such a simple strategy of taking what isn't yours actually improve our country in the long run? He targets billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg and says they have too much wealth and that the wealthy should be forced to fund healthcare, education, and social security for the middle class. Tax the 1% for your first class ticket to Utopia is his message. People don't seem to appreciate Facebook, Amazon or Tesla and what these men in particular have achieved to get their wealth, nor do they seem to care. They just want their free stuff, and they don't want to work for it. Take a look at Bernie as he employs fear tactics and sews seeds of entitlement in his audience in order to turn them against the great innovators of our time - those greedy rich guys whose goods and services we use on a daily basis.
