            I agree. I’m just talking about how Social Democrats at least on paper recognize some of the problems of capitalism. They just downplay them, which is a step above standard neoliberals. They just don’t follow it to the logical conclusion. I would consider Demsocs to be a bit better than SocDems, but in my opinion the difference between SocDems and socialists should be or seems to be a bigger relative jump than between DemSocs and socialists. Maybe I’m phrasing this wrong.

            Because with Democratic Socialism, you already have a foot in the door, and with SocDems, its a way bigger jump.

      Imperialist socdems like sanders want to fund US social services off the backs of workers in the global south (via a tax on imports from commodities produced by workers making pennies, if you’re wondering how this functions).

      This is why he and AOC have voted in support of every US war, and why when it comes to foreign policy, they’re indistinguishable from neocons and other liberals.

      Socdems like yourself just want to uphold the status quo of imperialist wealth extraction, just with a little more of that stolen wealth allocated to social services.
