    Democratic socialists are not capitalist, they’re socialist. You’re thinking of social democrats.

      Kind of splitting hairs at this point, but if the defining feature of capitalism is the private ownership of business, then I’d say demsocs would still qualify as capitalists. But maybe we have different notions of capitalism.

        Its not splitting hairs at all. Demsocs are straight up not capitalists. They believe in collective ownership, not private. You’re confusing it for social democracy.

          Ah yeah my bad. I confused it for what we have/had in Europe, like nordic model type stuff. But I guess that’s socdems then. You have to admit the naming is confusing.

        It’s really not. Sure the naming might be confusing and basically a repetition of “Judeas Peoples Front”. But the difference of ideology is rather noticeably large.
