This excellent clarification contrasting democratic socialism with different economic political systems is a powerful antidote to the onslaught of pervasive poisonous propaganda that serves to misinform and divide us rather than empower us with the truth. I hope that this will also be viewed and shared far and wide.
I’m also grateful to my husband for first sharing and bringing this video to my attention, and I’m moved to share Ron’s spot on words, too —
“I’m sharing this in case Chris Mathews follows me on Fb and is still confused about Democratic Socialism. Joking. He and the other corporate media talking heads know exactly what it is — a return to Democratic values in the spirit of FDR, and the ‘New Deal’. Only seen as ‘radical’ because the discourse has been shifted so far to the right (thanks Bill Clinton). All we need now is an equally instructive cartoon explaining Neoliberalism.”

The word "socialism" is loaded with incorrect meanings. Here's a look at the root definition of words like capitalism, communism, and social democracy, and how democratic socialism fits in.
