Yep, it creeps in from the sewer, gutters, and swamp.
And like always, the use a label that is a LIE! There can't be anything "democratic" about socialism.
June 17, 2019 Communism creeps in on cat's feet By Michael Smith In all honesty, today's so-called "democratic socialists" ("Demsocs" in Orwellian newspeak) are not communists — yet. In the American states, where progressivism is trying to soft-sell socialism to the masses as the next big thing, they are focusing only on the "give" side of the "give and take" aspect of the various iterations of collectivist ideology.

Rather than engage in the foment of a violent, transformative revolution, the "Demsocs" are trying to buy their way into America using other people's money — promising to literally make everything free, as if funding were always limitless. Although some, like Bernie Sanders, are softly using the word "revolution," we are beginning to hear the call for the violent variations now — as when newly elected Candi CdeBaca, the Demsoc Denver city councilwoman, noted she is ready to implement communism " by any means necessary."
Lucky for America, so far, the "revolution" has been televised and just means spending the states and the nation into bankruptcy.
But there is no yin without yang, no up without down, no debits without credits. There will always be two sides of the ledger that must balance, and there truly is no such thing as a free lunch. When voluntary taxation runs its course, coercive confiscation follows. When voluntary participation ends, forced participation is guaranteed. Socialists always believe that their programs are just so darned good that they must be made mandatory.
