    I consider myself a socialist/leftist and my primary concern right now is not to dominate the bourgeoisie. It’s mainly to get them to stop tax evasion so we can fund our public schools and hospitals. And if they could stop voting for candidates who are in coalition with the far right that’d be nice too!

      That’s Social Democracy, ie what the Nordic Countries are, not Socialism and not Leftism.

        Oh boy I’m no social democrat. A radical socialist if you prefer. You can have radical ideas like ending capitalism or taxing inheritance to 100% while still being for democracy and not being a revolutionary.

          All of the policies you described were those of Social Democrats, though. Additionally, Revolutionary Socialists are still for Democracy, just not bourgeois democracy, which makes Socialism impossible.
