Well, KGB would refer to actual espionage activity, as opposed to pushing socialistic public policies, and I suppose they could still engage in espionage activity (though it'd be cheaper for them to just read the NYT). . .but your point is taken. A friend from France who moved here once told me that he could see no significant difference between the French socialists' policies and the Democrats' policies, the only difference was that the Democrats didn't call themselves "socialists".
the only difference was that the Democrats didn't call themselves "socialists".
Check out the website for the DSA, and then say they don't call themselves socialists.
