@Aquilinus To me, being a democratic socialist is something completely different than being a social democrat... I don't think 'democratic socialism', whatever it may be, might work anywhere in the world. So far, all socialist states are/were failed states.
Fully agree on national socialism: a lot of ideas are left wing.
And also fully agreed, most 'right wing' parties in Europe are in many respects still to the left of the Democrats in the US.
