This is nothing like what happened in Venezuela. Chavez never shed his belief in Marxism. He believed it, and governed accordingly. He took control of PDVSA, the national oil company, which although socialized since the 1970's, had been given leeway to operate as if private. Chavez brought it firmly under government control. He socialized much of the food industry, from farming to gov't owned and operated grocery chains.
Democratic Socialism has destroyed Venezuela and now Nicaragua (also run by Democratic Socialists) is going down the same path... yet the media and the Democratic party in America in the U.S is promoting and praising Democratic Socialism here in America.
Good example is ignorance in America. You have learned some new like "Democratic Socialism", and try to apply them in a sentence only to put your ignorance on display. Venezuela, and current path for Nicaragua represent Authoritarian Socialism (state owns/runs production) , while Sweden and Denmark represent Democratic Socialism (social welfare, with free market economy)
Authoritarian Socialism rejects multi-party politics, freedom of assembly, habeas corpus and freedom of expression. This is precisely what is happening with Nicaragua, with the police gunning down protesters and seizing property.
It's not socialism that destroyed Venezuela, it's oil prices plummeting. No form of government is going to save a country that put all the chips in a barrel selling for $100+ forever.

Learn the difference.

No, you do not get it. Venezuela and Nicaragua (to be) were designed to be Authoritarian Socialist nations. Educate yourself on the meaning of words before using them. Saves you the embarrassment.

But having lived in a Nordic country, I know what the words mean.
And knowing multiple people from Venezuela, and being able to read on my own, I also know what kind of system they have,
