The current party politicians that rely on corruption, deceit, and lies to try to deceive the American population into becoming China's property. They try to attain absolute power so they can force the populous into a welfare state, so the populous is dependent on the government.
Tim: These draconian lockdowns are killing the economy.
Sarah: yeah, these damn socialist democrats are trying to turn the whole country into California, and New York.
Tim: We better learn mandarin....

An economic policy that takes from the people and gives to corporations.
This is the ideological opposite of a Democratic Socialist, that keeps a free-market economy but with strong efficient social safety nets.
A Corporate Socialist ultimately wants to make sure that the vast majority >99% of created wealth continues to go to large corporations.
Corporate Socialism is executive bonuses and stock buybacks for large corporations.
Democratic Socialism is investing in your people for a better, stronger, and cheaper future.
US President 45 is a corporate socialist.

A philosophy-turned-governmental-ideology, usually mistaken for Stalinist/Leninist-Communist. This philosophy, although greatly misunderstood, is nothing more that the belief that the strong, the capable, and the powerful shoul support those too weak to support themselves. This philosophy, created by Karl Marx, was meant to be the fundamental building block for a utopian society, but was later taken up by a man named Lenin, who twisted and warped the pure isea of Socialism and turned it into Leninist-Communism. Later adopted by Joseph Stalin, who made the idea of Socialism a cruel cycle of death, hatred, and intolerence.
I try to be the best Marxist-Socialist I can be by using my wealth and strength for the purpose of helping out those who are in need.

What modern social media has become because of the amount of censorship as part of a march toward socialism.
I posted my opinion about something on socialist media, And because they did not agree with my opinion, they censored it.

Anybody, though more often, public figures, who are both wealthy, and support socialism. 'Champagne Socialist' is a word used to discredit any left-leaning argument, valid or not, that a person with wealth puts forth.
"When I was poor and I complained about inequality people said I was bitter. Now I'm rich and I complain about inequality they say I'm a hypocrite, a champagne socialist. I'm beginning to think they just don't want inequality on the agenda because it is a real problem that needs to be addressed."

(n) Socialist Organiser (Soggy Oggy, Soggy) Memember of a broad left organisation founded in 1979. In the mid-1980s they formed SSiN (Socialist Students in NOLS) a campaigning group with some success in NOLS (National Organisation of Labour Students) and gained some success in achieving positions in NUS (not National Union of Semen, National Union of Students). SSin was relaunced in 1989 as Left Unity. Both SSiN and Left Unity interpreted Israel/Palestine, NI/ROI and the nature of the Soviet Union in ways that made them alarming to most other Trotskyist groups . It should be noted that "far left soggy nonsense" of the 1980s is standard idealogy within most mainstream social democratic parties.
Although membership, requirements were much less that similar Trotskyist groups at the time. (Militant wanted 20 papers sold and a 20pc tithe on your earnings), political education went beyond the understanding of most socialists and left within months (I came from a Liberal Party background, and enjoyed the schism histories of Left Politics, but just couldn't understand finer points of the nature of the Soviet Union; Militant gave me a 30 minute lecture on the break up of the Soviet Union and a disco)
"Oy, Socialist Organiser, leave my block votes alone!!"
