You know most people differentiate between socialism and communism now right? It is definitely more nuanced than your argument of all democratic socialism wants to transition into communism.
People can call themselves whatever they want to call themselves, but if their goal isn't a currencyless, stateless society without private property and based on mutual aid they aren't socialist they're sparkling capitalists.
I bet you're also one of those people who goes around complaining about "liberals" and then wonders why so many people think you're a right winger.
That never once happened but I do love to call US right wingers liberals.
No, it's not. Even they differentiated between socialism and communism. But they are correct in their assertion that the ultimate goal of socialism would be achieving a state like communism. Not a state as in a nation. But a state as in a state of being.
Whether or not you think such thing is possible in this moment. And I think most people would say it's probably still a little ways off. Even you ultimately would like a society in which you were free to do whatever you desired. Whatever stimulated you intellectually and explore your passions. Without having to worry about being a wage slave.
