Endorsed by the American far-right? How & when? 

David Duke former Grand Wizard of the KKK endorsed his campaign, as well as the militia groups at Charlottesville.

You're right. I was too quick. Social democracy and democratic socialism are indeed two different ideologies where democratic socialism is more left wing and often pretty anti-capitalist.

Several of the supporters in other countries (like Bernie Sanders) mention us as democratic socialists, even though the parties that are identified as democratic socialists (in Finland's case Vasemmistoliitto) are mainly very secondary parties who are rarely in government.

Yep. But then again people like Bernie Sanders are the reason why the "Every american is a retard" stereotype exists lol
