I think they got democratic socialism confused with social democracy (which is understandable given the similar names). The difference is that democratic socialism is... well, socialism and that social democracy is just liberalism with a social safety net.
(Side-note: Socialism is in essence about organizing the economy democratically so the fact that tankies have coopted the term to also mean totalitarian state capitalism unless democratic is added as a prefix is such a shame.)
thank you for clearing things up for people
