Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending would disagree.

According to the new book We Are As Gods, by Kate Daloz, which tells the tale of the rise and fall of the Myrtle Hill Farm in northeast Vermont, Sanders was told to leave the (hippie) commune in 1971 because he didn’t work, instead “sitting around and talking” about politics. Sanders engaged in “endless political discussion” while the residents seethed; one resident, Craig, resented feeling like he had to pull others out of Bernie’s orbit if any work was going to get accomplished that day.

It gets better:

Despite a prestigious degree, however, Sanders failed to earn a living, even as an adult. It took him 40 years to collect his first steady paycheck — and it was a government check. One of his first jobs was registering people for food stamps, and it was all downhill from there. Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment.

He holds a bachelor of arts degree in political science:

Regardless of course distribution, a Political Science degree provides an excellent liberal arts background for advanced study or direct entry into a career.

You will be 40 and working for the state before you can even say democratic socialism!

Bernie also promises to be an arts president, he would advocate “schtrongly” for robust funding of the arts, unlike those conservative ideologues, who attack and hate the arts, of course.

A long-term goal of the Democratic Socialists platform is also to eliminate all but the most enjoyable kinds of labor, and trash will be collected by robot pixies. I guess they will just re-program those Japanese sex bots to do it.

A good YouTube clip to give people who bring it up is Why “Democratic” Socialism Doesn’t Work by Louder With Crowder.

If that so why Socialism is only possible if enforced by violence?

Except for kibbutz and same communes experimentation all socialism needs state laws — laws are violence — to exist. Socialism doesn’t accept a person can be any other thing than a socialist.
