Honestly, I think in the aftermath of the Bernie campaign a lot of the ideological differences between social democracy and democratic socialism are coming to the forground. Although I do worry that 'democratic socialism' is such a diluted term now that it's lost it's utility in communicating a set of ideas.

It really depends but as I said the term is diluted to the point where it may not be that useful. Social democrats, socialist reformists, and even revolutionary marxists that dislike vanguardism all use the term.

I’ve seen people explain this as the countries trying to prevent these communities from getting caught in traps of intergenerational poverty, or something to that effect. I don’t know enough about these countries to tell fact from fiction, and these policies sounded pretty uhh not good / fash-y, especially given the context of European racial inequities. Can anyone more familiar with this situation give me a rundown of what this really means and what the motivation for it is?
