I believe, there is a confusion social democracy with democratic socialism. Social democracy is what you describe. However, democratic socialism is a subtype of marxism but with emphasis on avoiding becoming a dictatorship by building and maintaining direct democracy through worker's counsels (aka soviets) and self-management of the workers. Like Rosa Luxemburg's Rätekommunismus which was clearly not a social democracy and had Social Democratic Party of Germany as it's main enemy
Democratic "socialism" is fundamentally antithetical to any Marxist framework as it rejects the centralization of production. Any advocacy of it you come across is petty-bourgeois in rhetoric and in theory.
@@Inolikestatusquo They are definitely different in rhetoric, but in practice, I struggle to see how 1. they will end differently, and 2. they will function differently when practiced
Are you going to keep making vids? I think it's quite informative

It’s not that. Democratic socialism isn’t Marxism. It’s market socialism but with social ownership of means of production.

Demsoc isn’t Marxism as demsoc is it’s own thing that is placed near social democracy but is not capitalist
It is, there’s no feasible difference between capitalism and social democracy
@@Im_Lemon social democracy and democratic socialism are different things
