A socialist who wants to employ socialist policy into democracy, rather than overturning it into something like communism.Duh.
Why not just call it socialism then?

Like, Stalin literally put DemSocs, or the equivalent at the time, into Gulags.
I am an actual socialist and I can assure you that unless you believe in the abolition of private property, you are not a socialist: that's literally rule number one of socialism. Bernie Sanders is an embarrassment to socialism and his supporters are worse.Advicating for social policies does not make you a socialist.

Did you miss the whole point of this thread? Mordo doesn't know the difference between the two, this guy explained it.
Instead of sharing resources for the common good, you share resources so everyone can get that iphone and comfy stable income.It is a degenerate and hedonistic ideology that places comfort and materialism above any higher value. At least the communists have virtues.

There is no such thing as socialism that works under capitalism.
Socialists hold that socialism is predominately democratic, so what point are you trying to make here other than that you think you know how adjectives work?

It's actually one of the most beloved sanctions in the country.And it's a socialist policy. It is inherently socialist by its nature.BUT I THOGHT WE CUNLD'T HAVE SOCIALISM IN CAPITULAIM!?Yes, you can. Get fucked over.
Obviously you can't read either, fuckass, or you would've seen that I already said that social policies are not the same as socialism.
Explain how, at all, social security is socialism: not how it's like it, or anything half-assed, explain how it IS socialism.
I see you arguing Semantics, but not explaining your points. Explain how it is socialist.There, very clearly, let me say it again, verbatim, Verbatim: Explain how it is socialist.
