American 'socialist' 

A social democrat.

A socialist is someone who advocates for the means of production to be controlled by the government or community as a whole.

Because the American political spectrum is skewed to the right they seem to believe that universal healthcare, free university, high taxes, redistribution of property and a strong welfare system are socialist. However, they are not socialist in themselves, only general left-wing notions. Some of these may even be supported by the right, for instance the majority of European conservatives are proponents of universal healthcare, but evidently they are not socialists.

American 'socialists' often cite the Nordic countries as successful 'socialist' countries. Despite this, the means of production in these countries is privately owned, so they are actually social democracies.

American: Bernie Saunders is a socialist.
European: He's not a socialist, he's an American 'socialist'.
American: What's the difference?
European: The latter is a social democrat.

American democratic socialism 

What the rest of the world calls social democracy. Much like American football, we’ve created our own definition. After years of political scientists cringing at misuse of the word, people are throwing their hands up, and accepting that in the US, socialism means something completely different than it does literally anywhere else.

Person 1: I thought socialists wanted to “seize the means of production.”
Person 2: Bernie advocates American democratic socialism. He doesn’t want any of that.
