They didn't move "left," Ed. The family was always staunchly

So were almost all Democrats.

Cites?

Maybe it's time you looked up "socialism" again to refresh your memory about
what it means.

Ed Huntress

Socialism can refer to a political doctrine, an economic theory, a
vision of an ideal society, or a description of an actually existing
society. In its broadest sense, socialism is a belief that human
society can and should be organised along social lines - that is, for
the benefit of all, rather than for the profit of a few, which it
argued had been the case hitherto. Its key ideas are opposition to
capitalism , and a belief in equality, both political and economic.
The socialist view of social organisation is well encapsulated in the
following saying (attributed to Marx ): From each according to his
ability, to each according to his need.

Democratic socialism is a political movement propagating the political
ideals of Socialism in a democratic state , or in other words: anti-
Authoritarian Communism .

Most democratic socialists typically advocate a mixed economy with
generous welfare provision, and re-distribution of wealth. People or
groups who describe themselves as democratic socialists, are generally
further to the left and more radical than the more moderate social
democrats.
