    Genuinely what even is the difference between socialism and democratic socialism. I don’t get how one is leftist and the other is liberal.

      Pretty sure it comes down to do you think we can bandaid capitalism enough to suck not so hard, or do we need to amputate. The former is democratic socialism.

        Nah that’s social democracy,

        Democratic socialism is just the idea that the ideal route to socialism is through democratic revolution, and that socialism can exist in a democratic system without having to wipe out other doctrines
