This argument is similar to Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance [1], where authoritarians can use freedoms given to them by a society to remove those freedoms from others. However, the statement insisting that Bernie Sanders will somehow turn the USA into Venezuela sounds more like dogmatic rhetoric more than something that is based on concrete fact. Similar policies to those proposed in America by progressive Democrats, which the American Republican party frequently refers to as being socialist, have been implemented in some countries (see the Nordic Model [2]) without it turning into a disaster.
