With respect to Warren, I would agree with you. She's absolutely on the left with her belief in wealth tax, nationalised healthcare and "economic patriotism", however she has also said that she is "a capitalist to my bones". As far as I'm concerned, she understands the unique ability of private markets to create wealth and prosperity, but wants it to be better at distributing wealth. She believes in reforming American capitalism to be more equal, not abolishing it. I would compare her to Jess Phillips, an undoubtedly left British Labour party MP, but also one of the most outspoken critics of it's far left leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

Bernie is different. He has, in the past, called for the nationalisation of major industries, including banks, expressed support for Fidel Castro and took a honeymoon in the Soviet Union. There is no precedent for this in any West European country. If Bernie were British, he would be one of Jeremy Corbyn's closest allies. If he were Dutch he would be on the leftmost fringes of the solidly left Socialistische Partij.

His signature policy, Medicare for All has no European equivalent, not even the British National Health Service, which has a small number of private contracts, in addition to dentists and GPs being privately run. Private health insurance is not illegal and there are a small number of private hospitals run in the UK. Most European countries have better, more liberal systems, for example, the Dutch, who have one of the best in Europe. In the Netherlands, most hospitals are run by private, non-profit foundations, with people are free to choose between a wide variety of private health insurance plans, with all citizens required to have insurance source . This is much more similar to the healthcare policy of Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg and Mike Bloomberg, a public option where people can choose the healthcare plan right for them.
