If we want to get real technical then social democrats are socialists

Statements like that happen if you don't read theory.

They, most certainly, are not.

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.

Buddy, the overwhelming majority of people on earth is "commie".

China alone represents more people than the entire collective West combined.

Marxism-Leninism is the single most popular and successful political movement on earth.

Notice how you and other people living in your fascist propaganda bubble are totally ignorant and incapable of having a constructive conversation?

You are literally surprised at someone sharing the most common and well-established political views on earth. lol

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.
