The terms democratic socialism and social democracy have often been used interchangeably, and many have considered them synonymous until recently. Now the term social democracy refers to an ideology that is more centrist and supports a broadly capitalist system, with some social reforms (such as the welfare state), intended to make it more equitable and humane. Democratic socialism implies an ideology that is more left wing and supportive of a fully socialist system, established either by gradually reforming capitalism from within, or by some form of revolutionary transformation.
The tension between the revolutionary and evolutionary tendencies of democratic socialism can be seen in the Socialist Party USA, which has members who advocate both types of positions (although the party statement of principles includes the word "revolution"). Revolutionary democratic socialists accuse those who favor evolution of supporting socialism from above, which does not abolish the capitalist system. Revolutionary democratic socialists believe that the political structures within existing capitalist societies serve as an impediment to full democracy, which they believe can only be achieved by establishing a new political structure built from the bottom up. Evolutionary democratic socialists accuse supporters of revolution of being impractical.
Evolutionary (reformist) democratic socialists and social democrats both typically advocate at least a welfare state, although some social democrats, being influenced by the Third Way, would be willing to consider other means of delivering a social safety net for the poorest in society. Revolutionary democratic socialists support a welfare state not as a means of achieving socialism, but as a temporary method of relief, and as a means of mobilizing the populace towards revolutionary ideals. Democratic socialists usually support re-distribution of wealth and power, social ownership of major industries, and a planned economy. Social democrats have largely abandoned these concepts. Many democratic socialists retain a Marxist (although often reformist) analysis, while social democrats might entirely reject Marxism.

The Fineberg Mushrooms were characters from the Nintendo video game, Super Mario Sunshine. Mario encountered them on Bianco Hills, and he needed to purchase items from them. They spoke with unintelligible Jewish-accented mutterings, had huge noses, had mushroom heads(as do all other toads, but these are the sole ones in a Mario game ever to have noses),and kept jacking up the prices for items such as the Whacka Spring after every time Mario purchased the item, much to his frustration.
Trivia
*They have since reappeared in "Super Mario Galaxy" in 2007, this time requireing Mario to blow up garbage in their neighborhood. When Mario hit the trash compactor, their platform blew up and they went spiraling up into space and sucked into a black hole. They are one of the only Mario charactes to have died in the series.

Valley of Decapitated Horses is a six piece Deathgrind/Goregrind band from Fairbanks, Alaska. The band formed in 1989 as "Sawed", but later changed due to many line-ups. They got the name from Lawrence Cunningham, who had a vision where there was a serial killing farmer cutting horses & cattles heads off. Lyrically, Valley of Decapitated Horses lyrics deals with Violence, and gory horror movies, which may explain why the band was named after that after it was called "Sawed". Unlike most goregrind bands, their songs are quite longer than the average goregrind song to date. Songs range from a few seconds to ten minutes long. The longest song from them, "Decomposition of Dead Bumblebees (the title was taken from "The flight of the Bumblebee)", went on for as song as twenty five minutes. Some of their lyrics deal with violent attacks against White Trash.
History
The band was started as "Sawed" in December 17, 1989, by Lawrence Cunningham (Guitar, Vocals), Seth Yielding (Drums), and Greg Yoshima (Bass). They started the band when both members were at the age of 12. Their style was more like early Carcass, though they lack musicianship. In 1995, members Henry Velda (Guitar), Nathan Swisikov (guitar), and Danny Schultz (Keyboard) joined in the scene, and Sawed was replaced by the band name that always stuck out. Their first album, "Hammer Smash Suicide" was released on Earache Records. Music is recognized by its extremely low vocals, and fast inhumane drumming, which some fans of the music would like to consider them Noise, or an unusual form of antimusic. In 1999, they released an album on the same label titled "Chainsaw Surgery". In 2004, they had a deal with Relapse Records, and recorded "Morbidly Maimed, and Left for the Flies". Albums can last up to an hour or so, with ten to thirty tracks, depending on the length of their songs. Musically, the style is Brutal death metal/Technical Death Metal/Noise. They broke up in 2005 due to many arguments on who was going to be the head leader.
However in March 1, 2006, they renounce that they are back together, and is about to release another album on Relapse Records.
