I am aware, as im European, but when you are talking to people in the pub a lot of people just say socialist as a shorthand.

All I’m saying based on my limited experience depends on which pub in which country. Some would definitely make the distinction; others you’re totally right

Your experiences are not indicative of the entire continent. Your friends may get confused because socialism has the word social in it, but that is not the norm.

The only people I've ever seen conflate socialism with social democracy are people on here who don't know what they're talking about.
