      Yep, he is a Democratic Socialist which is actual socialism, unlike Social Democrats who are still capitalists.

        You may be confusing democratic socialism and social democracy. They are similar in their short-term goals, but democratic socialist have fundamental economic reform as their long-term goal, while social democrats just want to curtail the social problems of capitalism.

        No true Scotsman nonsense. Different flavor of the same dessert. There is no pure “socialism,” it’s implemented differently in different places with different tags of all kinds.

        It’s socialism but with democratic processes/participation at its core. Economic theory is basically the same.
