Democratic is code for Socialist. Democracy can suck a dick.

Really dumb. Democratic Socialists (Social Democrats) are the party that currently hold power in Sweden. They attach that term "democratic" to convince voters that they are not the fascist, antidemocratic socialists that trashed both Germany and Russia (and China).
So, no, "Democratic" does not equate to "Socialist".

Then please, explain the difference between the following philosophies:
On the one hand, we have democracy - "everyone gets a vote, regardless of station or status, and every vote counts equally"
And on the other hand, we have socialism(communism) - "classes are the enemy of a free society, everyone is born the same, and it is in that natural state of sameness with his fellow that he will live"
The only real distinction I'm seeing is that the former is simply an early stage less heavy-handed version of the latter
