Marx was both a socialist and a communist, as stated in his manifesto, he views socialism as a better improvement to move to, the transitory stage in fact. You can be both, since going directly to communism doesn’t exactly work great. Marx supported socialism, but didn’t think it was the same place we’d stay, just as many in the past viewed capitalism as a temporary semi-good to help humanity progress from one systems to the next. Biden isn’t a socialist, the guy’s openly capitalist, he shows no signs of actually wanting to change systems, he’s a traditional liberal with relatively low standards for corporate regulation. That’s just a center/mid-left democrat, most of his social positions weren’t even around before people like Bernie negotiated them into his administration campaign directly. Bernie himself, on the American stage, seems somewhat radical. Is he? Not too much, let’s be honest, radical is Karina and Claudia in the party for Socialism and Liberation. This guy is a free healthcare buff that wants to regulate capitalism. That’s not exactly radical on the world stage considering most every developed country does have that kind of social policy. Social policy does NOT equal socialism. Socialism is the representative democratization of the workplace and ownership by the community or workers as a whole. Biden and Sanders aren’t crying in the streets for it, they’re trying to make poor people capable of living in this revolting economic system.
