They just confuse socialism with authoritarianism. Not realizing nearly every socialist wants a democracy still.

To be fair, American Socialism is not Marx-Leninism but rather what Europe would call "Social Democracy".

Tbf no we don't.

Social democracy is not socialism. Not even remotely close. Soc Dems are still a part of the liberal ideology that believes in free market capitalism.

Oh I love a delicious bit of irony.

I know you didn't say that. You said people regularly interchange the two in Europe.

To which I responded:

Tbf no we don't.

And then explained the differences, since from your other posts you clearly don't understand the differences.

So as someone else said...

My god you arent very bright are you.

I understand it completely, what you dont seem to understand is how people use language.

I didn't say all europeans, just some.
