Bernie believes in the eradication of capitalism

No, he believes in the eradication of “über” capitalism, as his new book states: It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism. He is a There Is No Alternative, Nordic model welfare capitalist. He never has and never will call for the abolition of private ownership of the means of production.

He specifically describes himself as a democratic socialist instead of a social democrat but I also haven't read the book so feel free to quote an excerpt from it saying he thinks the capitalist model is the only viable one.

As a Swede, what he's been advocating for doesn't sound like the nordic model to me.
