many of the the socialist parties named themselves “democratic” or some variation thereof about 100 years ago, because everyone knew that socialism = tyrranical government, so as usual, the propaganda spin went into effect.

European Socialists to rename themselves Democrats?

That’s what American Socialists did about 75 years ago.

some European socialists are now contemplating "possibly changing their name to 'Democrats'

They've already done that in Italy.

Democracy is and always has been Mob Rule.. by mobsters..
No democracy has ever yet been democratic..
It always becomes Oligarchy..

Democracy is the social disease that breeds socialism..
Socialism is just a "tell" to Oligarchy..

But democracy is the disease..

Democracy is the road to socialism. -Karl Marx

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.~Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

"How do you tell a Socialist:- It's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an Anti-Socialist someone who understands Marx and Lenin" -Ronald Reagan
