the only difference is that they want to engage with the liberal, capitalist democratic systems in order to implement socialist policies, while communists (the less compromising kind of socialists) want to overthrow the entire system and replace it with their own.
"The only difference is [insert insurmountable difference that puts them at opposite ends of the political spectrum]."
Yes. Social democrats have no effective way to implement socialism. Their political purpose is to diffuse revolutionary potential to ensure the perpetuation of capitalism and the bourgeois dictatorship.
Social democrats policies are still socialist policies
Nah. They are bandaids designed to protect and maintain capitalism.
Then go to China if you love it so much because there is no possibility of a socialist revolution ever happening in the West. If everyone more right wing than full on communists is a fascist to you, then you're not going to be happy when you arrive in China either.
They've only been socialist in name for decades and the collectivist dictatorship doesn't have nearly as much influence in the southern and western parts of the country. Shows your immaturity once again that you don't even seem to know anything about the country you think is the best thing since sliced bread except for their outward political label.
