Democratic marxism = marxism

Non-democratic marxism = not marxism

It's simple as that. :P

It's a bit like asking if there will be democracy under communism. The end product (among others) is increased democracy for the masses not the oligarchy most people in so-called "democratic" countries live under at present.

Democratic Marxism is another word for ‘reform communism’ or in reality revisionism. It rejects core tenets of Marxism such as class struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat.

"Democratic marxism" has nothng to do with "reform communism"/"reform socialism".

Marxism sees the end of class struggle in the formation of absolute democratic society and in direct democracy. That's why marxism may be called "democratic", which is -- in fact -- one of its main premises.

By the way: dictatorship of the proletariat = workers' democracy

Yes, socialist democracy is a democratic dictatorship of the masses but he is probably refereing to a quiz in which "Democratic Marxism" is really democratic socialism with Marxists phraseology.
