Most democratic socialist societies are capitalist, capitalism just remains politically subordinate rather than able to govern society unchecked.

- energy123 2mo agoThose would be social democracies.
- numbers_guy 2mo agoNo, social democracies are subservient to capital. The whole modern democratic socialist movement as I understand it is primarily to fix exactly that issue.
- energy123 2mo agoI don't have much to discuss about the movement (although I am sceptical due to the repeated historical pattern of Mensheviks making way for Bolsheviks), but the subject we are discussing are democratic socialist countries, not movements, which as far as I am aware, don't exist. There are social democracies like Finland, which is what I assume the poster was referring to.
