And I bet you're fun at parties

Social Democrat is "a supporter or advocate of a socialist system of government achieved by democratic means."

That's what a demsoc is. Social democrats support capitalism with social programs.

Who are not, by any meaningful definition, more left than those of us with a soul.

Speaking of succdems look how even in their mind palace they're already dehumanizing anyone to the left of them. This helps when they cooperate with and enable fascist parties like they do every time in history. "Tankies don't have a soul and they're going to kill you first so it's okay to let the nazis kill them actually" I'm a REAL leftist :D

You should tell Webster they're wrong. And Wikipedia. And Brittanica.

By their definitions, a Socdem's insistence on using democracy at all costs is what differentiates between them and demsocs.

By why is it so important for you to insist everyone use your nonstandard definition of the terms? Also, your calling us "succdems" tells me exactly everything I need to know about your permission. If I'm not willing to murder people, I'm less than human to you enough to be given a silly nickname.

“Tankies don’t have a soul and they’re going to kill you first so it’s okay to let the nazis kill them actually” I’m a REAL leftist :D

At this moment, you're on the wrong side of the "First they came for" poem because you're the one rejecting the Left.

Not to call the editors of those fine resources for elementary school aged children stupid or anything, but the adjective-noun pairs "social democrat" and "democratic socialist" literally imply within the terms themselves what these things are. A democratic socialist is a socialist who uses democratic means. It's on the tin.

At this moment, you're on the wrong side of the "First they came for" poem because you're the one rejecting the Left.

This has to be a bit

Yeah, it's the bit where I've gotten threats on my life.

What does that have to do with you referencing a poem you never read the first two lines from?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Can you show us a time this happened? Genuinely, people shouldn't throw around death threats to anyone but war criminals billionaires nazis transphobes and cops, so if thats happening to you just because you're an average liberal I don't support that

or I'll have to assume you were on some cracker shit and actively supporting or being one of the aforementioned groups, in which case, lmao haha
