Sorry comrade but it’s actually *Democratic* Socialist. 
  
 Don’t you know that [adding “Democratic” to your name automatically makes you Democratic?](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/7us4mw/democracy_index_and_the_word_democratic_in_the/)

### REPLY:
He’s actually a social democrat but he calls himself a dem socialist because political education is so weak in the United States.  
  
 My proof is he called Scandinavian counties democratic socialist when they’re really social democracies.  
  
 Social Democracy = market economy, expansion of welfare state, reforming capitalism 
  
 Democratic Socialism = achieving socialism through democratic means
