This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

That was earlier. The Bolsheviks split from the social democratic labour party in 1903 denouncing the term social democracy
But them using the "aesthetic" of socialism to win over the workers for their own fascist benefit is true (obviously)
I swear I've seen his post-split works still referring to his movement as social-democrats.
Found it (1906): https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BE%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BC_%D0%B8_%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F_(%D0%9B%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BD)
I think you are right that by 1920s that term was mostly associated with Mensheviks but I swear I've seen bolshevik references to it even in 1910s, so it wasn't as clearly defined as it is now.
