Why do American Social Democrats call themselves Democratic Socialists? This is a genuine question.
I am old, but I always understood DS to mean orthodox Marxist Leninist (eg German DEMOCRATIC Republic) or, in a Western context, those who argued that socialism was achievable via the ballot box.

An inquest held under the apartheid government concluded that Luthuli, the first African to win the Nobel Peace Prize, died after being struck by a goods train.
South Africa's government reopened the case this year. A court has now ruled his death was the result of an "assault" by apartheid police.

False news | The war in Gaza has stopped.
True news | The war of extermination continues with bombings, assassinations, destruction, and the annihilation of families and children all timed and justified by yet another “pretext.”
