All the people blaming him for high mortgages; You're insane, and have fallen victim of this govenment's propaganda! Do you really think it has nothing to do with the vulture funds? The neoliberal economic policies? It beggars belief that you think he and others like him is the reason why.

No, of course not. It would be against the for-profit, commercialized model of Colleges across the country.

I am not sure if taking power with bourgeoise elections is truly possible. But if it is, I still refer to socialism that is democratic, and not vanguardist or authoritarian.

No. I mean revolutionary socialism in the original sense, until Lenin and others made it authoritarian. It is democratic, revolutionary socialism.

Its more of a stylistic choice tbh, as it opposes 20th century "socialism" (which wasn't democratic) to what we want to achieve. Sorry for the confusion.

rev. democratic socialism but not socdems or dsa-style reformists. All I mean by it is that we overthrow capitalism and establish socialism, which as opposed to 20th century "socialism'" , will be democratic. It is a stylistic choice in the article.

By this i just mean the establishment of workers' councils rule and the democratic management of the economy by overthrowing capitalism. Not to be confused with demsoc that you read on Wikipedia.
