Democratic Socialism and Class Collaborationism

[@SZSz-l8u]

Are you going to keep making vids? I think it's quite informative

[@MarxismAbridged]

I plan to, just things in my personal life that’re holding up my time as of right now

[@f-man3274]

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

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

[@thewhalebear7073]

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.

Hey do you have anything I could contact you on?

[@Inolikestatusquo]

Demsoc isn’t Marxism as demsoc is it’s own thing that is placed near social democracy but is not capitalist

[@Im_Lemon]

It is, there’s no feasible difference between capitalism and social democracy

[@Inolikestatusquo]

@@Im_Lemon social democracy and democratic socialism are different things

[@MeowNap]

@@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
