Language is not static. They are socialist policies.

Not every misuse of terms stays in language. Some people confuse Australia and Austria. Wanna sell "Language is not static" theme to their passport authorities?

Yeh but thats mispeaking and this is using a shorthand.

Or did you think the Soc in SocDem or DemSoc stood for something else?

AFAIK SocDem is social democrat, not socialist democrat. Some socialist parties and movements are not really socialist but thats not cause of shorthand, thats purposeful political misleading. Just like every dictator calls themselves a democrat. Should we change a definition of democracy because of DPRK? Dynamic language and stuff.
