   Maybe a repressed memory of an unbearably traumatic experience?

   Though there’s lots of evidence that that doesn’t happen. No Holocaust survivors are on record as saying they don’t have a clue what people are talking about.

   Well, Mr Sanders repeatedly (but in vain) kept insisting that he was in favor of “democratic socialism”, which is probably what you’d call Denmark’s political economy. Besides which, “socialism” is understood in a number of incompatible senses.
