I’m not 100% sure about that, but I was more interested in the intrinsic correlation between democracy and Liberalism.
I just can’t imagine a democracy that isn’t liberal, because all the basic elements of a democracy crumble soon after. Unless, well, you consider ancient Athens’ Democracy to be an actual democracy.
I mean I guess you could have a socialist or feudal democracy, but the problem begins with those when you think about what happens with political dissidents
A good faith attempt to end the capitalist mode of production and move to the socialist mode as envisioned by Marx. Elimination of the role of capital in the ownership of industry or production, that’s your chief characteristic
Oh by that measure I wholeheartedly agree, there is not a single socialist nation in Europe.
How would you describe the European legislation to protect their citizens from the effects of the market and capital? (Welfare, worker rights, pensions, limited work hours, paid leave etc.)
I’m not looking for dialectical nitpicking (maybe Socratic questioning), I’m asking out of curiosity and a want to understand the differences.
That’s social liberalism. It’s an offshoot of democratic socialism which discarded the goal of transition to socialism for continuing to reform capitalism. It also describes the US New Deal Coalition.
Taiwan aka Republic of China aka state of China aka not a country. I dont care what a hand full of redditors have told you but they dont have a seat at the UN, the United States and EU doesnt recognize it as a sovereign nation, Taiwan depends on Chinese government and Chinese exports.
Either way, China claims itself to be a democratic socialist country so just own that.
Yeah ok man I don’t care about your geopolitics, the point is that the only part of what is considered China which is at all democratic is Taiwan. The PRC is a totalitarian, one party dictatorship.
How would this picture look like in a socialist democracy like some European countries?
At best European nations are social liberal democracies. No European country is a socialist nation.
Is there a non-liberal democracy that isn’t, by definition, flawed?
Humanity is flawed, so any of our constructions will be. But democracy is better than any alternative.

I’m an American. No European country is a socialist nation.
What are the minimal requirements of a nation to uphold in order to be considered socialist?

China is a socialist democracy too. Dont leave them out.
The only part of China which is at all a democracy is Taiwan
Taiwan aka Republic of China aka state of China aka not a country. I dont care what a hand full of redditors have told you but they dont have a seat at the UN, the United States and EU doesnt recognize it as a sovereign nation, Taiwan depends on Chinese government and Chinese exports.
