What is "Democratic Socialism" in your eyes?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The kind that can be voted on in fair elections.

So every AES state is also Democratic Socialist too.

Or do you mean Socialism established through liberal reform? That's very rare, only really established in countries like Chile under Allende, before the US supported a coup to overthrow him.

That's underselling it. Before he was even president, the CIA kidnapped and killed the Commander in Chief of the Chilean army for refusing to send the army during his inauguration. There was political and economical warfare for fear of a "functioning socialist government" in South America. According to Nixon "the choice of government by the Chileans was unacceptable".
