I don't think you noticed this, and I didn't want to hear all about how no one ever answers your questions.

Tom B. - "Can you think of one single official position of the Socialist Party that differs from the stated positions of the Democratic Party?"

Bowser - From the Socialist Party USA.

"The Socialist Party strives to establish a radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control -- a non-racist, classless, feminist, socialist society in which people cooperate at work, at home, and in the community."

So far, so good.

"Socialism is not mere government ownership, a welfare state, or a repressive bureaucracy. Socialism is a new social and economic order in which workers and consumers control production and community residents control their neighborhoods, homes, and schools. The production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. Socialism produces a constantly renewed future by not plundering the resources of the earth."

Again, not bad. However, herein lays a difference. The implied ownership ("mere government ownership") of the means of production by the government is not a principle of the Democratic Party or Democrats in general.

Unless you can find it.
