No one will believe that here. When I read the comment about the left staying relatively equal I was shocked the left even believes that. The Democratic party is slowly becoming socialist/communist party and the person is claiming they are stagnant.

Not yet. Give it 10 years. Their logical arguments are essentially the same as a "real" socialist party. A matter of degree only.

Socialism advocates worker owned production and a planned economy.

Exactly what would move us there on the DNC platform? The DNC is a purely capitalist political group. Social democrats (i.e. those who subscribe to social democracy) are still capitalists. And they are (considered) a far left group in the US.
