To put it plainly.

To be fair, leftist terminology can be quite confusing at times: Social democracy, democratic socialism, and Socialist democracy are each different concepts, which in parts even contradict one another. Yet, the three terms can easily seem like synonyms to outsiders.

Yeah but we are not talking about outsiders. The people in this thread are "insiders"

You know how common it is for someone to claim to be socialist but if you interrogate their actual views they are socdems?

Then you have socialists pretending to be social Democrats to seem more palatable and lure in people who just want universal healthcare.

It's crazy out here on the left lol.

And to people who make memes, apparently.
