That's the difference between socialism and democratic socialism. Ever since Obama's election, the term "socialism" has been thrown around and used much too loosely, resulting in any kind of socialist policy to be labeled as socialism. Democratic socialism (even though Bernie is more of a social democrat) is a centrist idea with a small allowance of leftist policy, such as socialized health care and education. In short, democratic socialism is primarily capitalist with little snippets of socialist policy, and is entirely different from socialism.
Democratic Socialist countries enjoy a high standard of living. However, they are not known for generating large numbers of smaller businesses or maintaining a high level of economic growth from year to year. So, it depends entirely on how you value success in the United States.As for whether democratic socialism could work in the United States, the idea is definitely scalable. The question is more about whether or not it conflicts with American values of independence and personal responsibility.
The most right-winged extreme parties in Europe can be compared to the Democratic non-conservative side in the US. Some people may call it socialism, but for now it seems to work. (With exception of Greece)

Two countries that operate under a form of democratic socialism are Sweden and Denmark. They have mixed economies that combine elements of capitalism with a strong welfare state, including universal healthcare, free education, and social safety nets. Both countries prioritize social equality and high standards of living for all citizens.
No.The U.S. though once a Democratic Republic, is now run by Oligarchy. Socialism has no place in the society, nor does democracy. The Democracy of the U.S. is a sham. This is evidenced by the latest documentary of Alex Jones "The fall of the Republic" as well as several other works by notable Journalists such as John Pilger and Peter Joseph.
The reason that a democratic government lsted in the US is because most of us like it that way.
