Yes, however in Scandinavia they actually call themselves social democrats, but in the United States terms such as socialism and libertarianism are used differently than in the rest of the world.

Like I said, it seems like splitting hairs.  The terms may be different, but essentially they mean the same thing.

Well, to socialists the difference is huge, but I can understand that the average person probably doesn't really feel like spending the time to dig through all the confusion.
