When exactly does the Democrats' socialism kick in?

[TruthNotBS]

Exactly. That's the biggest problem with socialism.

Exactly you're wrong again like always, it's actually capitalism that undermines democracy, in both politics and the workplace. Socialism is much more democratic.

Since they lie about everything.... Never....

I specifically used the word " Politicians " Not " rich ".
So you have to lie in order to make yer Leftist pap seem
relevant.The Government has to abide all the checks and balances
put in place { in good faith } by elected officials.
We no longer have " good faith " elected officials.
More so by the week.The United States cannot sustain any
more leftism.We are being Lefted out as is.

It's relevant and you're the liar, because the rich are the ones behind the politicians, paying them to vote for legislation that serves their interests, often to the detriment of the American public.

The Government has to abide all the checks and balances put in place { in good faith } by elected officials.
We no longer have " good faith " elected officials.

Partly thanks to the rich that bribe them and turn them into their faithful cronies.

More so by the week.The United States cannot sustain any

It's right-wing politics and economics that are destroying the American working class.

Smart Regulation ?

Yes, or are you for child labor and businesses polluting the environment or preparing food from a filthy kitchen? Do you like cockroaches or mouse poo in your cheeseburger? There is such a thing as a smart-regulation, yes. A well-regulated private sector that serves the public good.

Socialism has greater potential for democracy, but it also has greater potential for dictatorship. Under capitalism, the rich will always be able to subvert democracy with their greater ability to contribute to political campaigns, and to dominate political discussion by their ownership of the mass media.

Nevertheless, under socialism a dictator can control the economy and decree high incomes for himself and his cronies. This is what has happened in North Korea.

I prefer social democracy. It is the closest approximation to democratic socialism that has worked. In social democracy there are regular contested elections, a mixed economy, a high minimum wage, strong labor unions, and a well financed public sector of the economy paid for by steeply progressive taxation.

It kicked in back in 1933 with FDR's New Deal. Those were our first social programs that took care of the elderly and the destitute.
