I would wish the left would use the correct words..
Over here, we have Social Democracy... but Bernie Sanders and AOC calls it Democratic Socialism.. but their polices are Social Democracy policies and the countries they want to emulate are Social Democracies.. like Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
So.. there
not really. both Sanders and AOC and the hue and cry of the millennial socialist movement is very clear on getting rid of capitalism as the major mode and install a centrally planned economic system.
your social Democracies don't really do centrally planned economies.

Exactly, and I wonder how Bernie does not know the difference, and keeps using the wrong terms.
AOC does not know the difference either, but that does not surprise me.

Yes, funded by OUR taxes unless some other country is funding it. I don't think so.

Of course. Who suggested otherwise? I'm suggesting we need to emulate some of their policies. Not sure where the defensiveness is coming from. I took your correction of my wrong terminology to heart.
