{{Quote|quote="But to deny this [that the majority of workers are capable of understanding and of organizing themselves, without leaders] is to in effect deny that socialism can be established. For socialism, as a fully democratic society based on the common ownership of the means of production, demands, in order to function, the voluntary cooperation of the immense majority of the population. It is a society which simply cannot be established by a minority, however enlightened, determined or benevolent. Leaders, whether reformist parliamentarians or insurrectionist vanguards, cannot establish socialism; all they can and have established is some form of state capitalism”|speaker=[[File:Menshevik.png]] [[Reformist Marxism|Julius Martov]]

Democratic Socialism first emerged in the US with [[File:Debs.png]] [[Classical Social Democracy|Eugene Debs]]. Debs was a socialist from Indiana and ran for president a total of five times, he first came into national attention when he organised a strike against a big railroad company when that company cut employees pay it would become known as Debs' rebellion. Grover Cleveland intervened and sent in the army to break the strike killing 14 and sending Debs to prison. Debs would then go on to found the socialist party and denounce protective tariffs as causing wage cuts and being tools of the elite. Debs would then go to prison again under Woodrow Wilson because he was strongly opposed to US entry into WW1 and urged resistance to the draft, Wilson called him a traitor and charged him with sedition. President Harding commuted his sentence but he did not grant a pardon, Eugene Debs would then die in prison.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are a pressure group and political organisation dedicated to advancing socialism in America. They saw a massive boost in membership after senator Sander's failed run for the democratic nomination in 2016 and by 2018 several card carrying members of the organisation (such as Rashida Tlaib and AOC) were elected to congress and have since made headlines and gained fame.

Democratic socialism is a [[File:Leftunity.png]] left-wing [[File:Dem.png]] democratic and usually [[File:SocialSocialist Reformism.png]] reformist ideology. Its fundamental principles are nearly the same as those of [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]] - [[File:LibFoundation.png]] [[Social Democracy#Beliefs_and_Views|freedom]], [[File:Consti.png]] [[Social Democracy#Beliefs_and_Views|justice]], [[File:Equality.png]] [[Social Democracy#Beliefs_and_Views|equality]] and [[File:SyndieSam.png]] [[Social Democracy#Beliefs and Views|solidarity]].

Another form of democratic socialism is with the implementation of [[File:Marketsoc.png]] [[Market Socialism]] where the state implements plans such as [[File:SwedenSocDem.png]] Employee funds which would've seen unions control every company in Sweden approximately 20 years after implementation.
