We continue to agree: they are not the same. Particularly democratic socialism.

Does not exist in practice. Democratic socialists are people that believe that socialism can be achieved by winning within bourgeoise-democracy without revolution. They have been murdered by the bourgeoisie whenever they come close to that. I strongly suggest reading the Jakarta Method and also listening to Allende’s last words broadcast via radio while the airforce were bombing the bridges as the US-backed coup raged around him.

democratic socialist countries like the U.S

Holy fucking shit you just called the US “democratic socialism”? We’re done here. You are uneducated and completely out of your fucking mind and have no idea what any of these words mean. I’m not wasting my time anymore.
