And a very specific type of left, too. I’m a democratic socialist who doesn’t believe in centrally planned economies and thinks market mechanisms can be useful in many cases (but can also be extremely harmful if done wrong or utilized wrong, eg healthcare is a terrible place for market mechanisms and profit motives), but I might as well be a reich-winger based on how many subs seem to look at democratic socialism (let alone market socialism)

That sounds like you aren’t a socialist at all.
Just sounds like the majority of capitalist countries. Especially the ones in Europe.
Sounds like you don’t understand the difference between democratic socialism and social democracy. I suggest Wikipedia
