My point is that the person I’m responding to and the people they’re criticizing are both confusing people because they’re misusing terms. Those countries are not socialist. Social democrats are not socialist, democratic socialists ARE.
You’re just being dishonest. I am responding to someone who said “when I hear democratic socialist I think of Norway etc.” I have said literally nothing about whether or not I support those countries policies. Mamdani calls himself a democratic socialist, that’s why we’re talking about this.
So am I, his economic/political philosophy is almost as irrelevant as his ideas about Israel/Palestine as mayor. People just keep being baffled by why so many are wary of him just because he called himself a democratic socialist, but it’s not that surprising. It’s very different than social Dem.

I'm looking forward to seeing what he can accomplish.
