re: What is the difference between Democrat Socialism, Socialism and Communism?

Democrat Socialism is the lubricant or sales pitch of communism. The entry point if you will. But once the idea of freebies begins there is no turning back. The people pressing for that look around and want stuff others have without working or having to inherit.

Millenials, immigrants, particularly Hispanic immigrants and those who feel put upon or cheated look to game the system and grab the dream. "Big Rock Candy Mountain" if you will. However, lets be honest here. A serious reduction in overall production means far less to divide so naturally at some point it requires more and more authoritarian and or force and population "reduction" one way or another. And a serious reduction is coming when you remove the incentive plus opportunity that capitalism offers. That's when you forcibly remove people from cities to rural areas to cut cane, pick cotton, etc. With a false promise of you're going to get your small plot at some point. "40 aces and a mule" if you will. And that also begins the cut in population that is required.

In our case, as in Mexico, Venezuela and Cuba it is basically a power grab by con artists who sell the ignorant on the idea of utopia without work or minimum work and equal outcomes. Everybody is a star. Everybody is born 6 ft tall and bullet proof.

When confronted by where's the money to do all this, a man I am very close too, an anti-capitalist socialist (he can't accept the word communist and aside from that wants to keep his stuff) simply says: "Oh there is plenty of money in America, the government just needs a means of accessing it". He has a 7' wall around his 100 acres and keeps two military dogs to keep anyone off his place. And doesn't see where any of this would affect him, an enemy of the state if one ever breathed.

One other thing: we are a multi-racial society with minorities gaining in numbers by the day. And the left, the pushers of socialism, selling the idea that white people are the problem. Can you see where this is going? The oppressors become the oppressed then when that doesn't work, the eliminated. Our situation will blow before that into some sort of civil conflict. Meantime we immigrate an end to our great experiment in freedom and opportunity. Damn the slave importers and damn the Dems with their immigrating votes. We should have controlled immigration by bringing in all races based upon skills only. But all democracies eventually fail.

I was with you until this.

"the goal of socialism is communism." - V. Lenin.

Democratic Socialism is not Leninism or Marxism-Leninism. Lenin had his own theories and methods in regards to Marxist Socialism. Because he won the Russian Revolution a lot of Marxist Socialists took his theories and methods Leninism and was successful in revolutions in China, Cuba and so on.

Socialism predates Marxism and Leninism is post Marxism. Most of what you rightfully decry (USSR, China) is a variant of Leninism. There are non-Leninist Socialists out there. Leninists can be Democratic Socialist and revolutionary socialists.

You also have non-Leninist revolutionary socialists.

Communism is the ideal utopian state that would develop. Even Marx knew it was pie in the sky and just used as a marker or goal--an impossible one.

Democratic socialists are non-Leninist in the USA and much of the world today. Leninism is what most of you are against. Chavez and Maduro are creeping closer to Leninism which Democratic Socialist should decry,

Social Democracy can be viewed as a transitionary phase possibly lasting hundreds of years until we reach socialism or just can be the end phase as a method of curbing the excesses of capitalism.

Democratic Socialist believe in non-violent, constitutional means of achieving social democracy and eventually democratic socialism. Sure you have some crack-pot revolutionary socialists posing as Democratic Socialists because the DSA is growing, but you really don't have to fear a revolution coming anytime soon in the USA. Political participation is how the majority of Democratic Socialist want to change the USA.

Which would be a version of Democratic Socialism, no?

No, in fact those two terms are irreconsible. Like I said, the only people who use the term "democratic socialism" are politically illiterate or politically manipulative.
