This. I'm not a whiny baby who needs to shirk my responsibility to the common good. I just want my taxes to actually benefit my society instead of making war and enriching people who have waaayyy more money than me.

Nope, that's 'social democracy'. Very different, despite sounding similar

Somehow 'Democratic Socialism' and 'Social Democracy' keeps getting mixed up. What you see in Europe, and more importantly the Nordic countries, are nations with roots in the Social Democratic spectrum. Strong welfare states; still capitalistic in nature but with bolder regulations and protections concerning vital infrastructures and national resources; and stronger labor laws.
