How socialists redefine democratic socialism in an attempt to minimize the term.
Swap the words. No one will notice. Lol

As I have pushed here repeatedly, the terms Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism are frequently conflated in the United States. However, in some circles, and especially in Europe, they are clearly distinguished.
Social Democracy = a mixed economy. Primarily free markets with some central planning.
Similarly fascism, conservativism, neo-liberalism, capitalism, monopolism, and nationalism all tend to get lumped together in the USA.
