    Socialism refers to collective ownership of the means of production. Social democracy refers to a capitalist market economy supplemented by welfare programs, labor protections, and public services. The two terms are not interchangeable despite frequent misuse on the internet. You are describing and advocating for social democracy not socialism.

      Finally somone who can distinguish the difference. Having some socialist policies doesn’t make whole system socialist

        It is amazing to me. How many people don’t know the difference constantly advocating for social democracy under the name of socialism.

        It is infuriating.
