I live in an european country with a large social democratic party and it's not socialism, it's a vaguely leftist liberal welfare state party. Democratic socialism can be considered socialism, though, but nothing a single party (which gets around 8% of the vote here) can do to create a socialist state. "democratic public control of resources" is a nebuluos definitiob, and the meaning of regular non-"democratic" socialism or communism can be interpreted as such. Usually the adjective considers more the means and not the ends, (democratic, revolutionary, but sometimes the ends too as in libertarian, authoritarian).
