Democratic" socialism doesn't solve any of the problems of socialism.

The narrative doesn't fit the reality

Democratic Socialism is an oxymoron

 

[Adonia]

We have seen socialism in practice for many years now - it's called Social Security and it's basically a failure. It is nothing but a Ponzi scheme which has evolved to include every person young or old who can make a claim on this money.

Of course, it doesn't. You don't mess with a true democracy or a true socialist state, and they can be one and the same. FF's deliberately made a republic:

• 
  "Hence it is that democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and in general have been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths... A republic, by which I mean a government in which a scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect and promises the cure for which we are seeking." James Madison, Federalist Papers No. 10 (1787).
  
  "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!" Ben Franklin
  
  "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine." Thomas Jefferson
  
  "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." John Adams
