Democratic Socialism, commonly shortened to DemSoc, and not to be confused with Social Democracy, is a left-wing ideology inhabiting around the top center of the libertarian left quadrant. It is one of the more moderate socialists.
Democratic Socialism seeks to combine Democracy and File:Soc.png Socialism, viewing dominant socialist currents as undemocratic (and usually as not truly socialist, due to this). This is done typically by means of advocating for transition to socialism by Reformist and electoralist means, using Liberal democracy to acheive a socialist society, rather than using revolutionary, or otherwise violent or non-reformist means. Despite the former, sometimes dubbed "Evolutionary Democratic Socialism", or just "Evolutionary Socialism", being by far the most popular Democratic Socialist current, there also exists a form of Democratic Socialism that does support (violent) revolution. Revolutionary Democratic Socialism does not view electoralism as a legitimate or practical way of achieving socialism, but rather supports a revolution to establish a socialist society with democratic governance. In this way, this form of Democratic Socialism is democratic not in its means, like Evolutionary Socialism, but only in its ends.
Moreover, there exists a faction of democratic socialists who advocate for a mixed economy and strong welfare programs, as opposed to a complete socialization of the economy. Bernie Sanders in the United States and Jeremy Corbyn in the United Kingdom are two politicians that exemplify this form of Democratic Socialism. This form of Democratic Socialism is virtually indistinguishable from Social Democracy, and is often regarded as not truly being a form of Democratic Socialsim for this reason.
History
United Kingdom
WIP
United States
In the United States, Democratic Socialism exists in the form of Sandersism. Sandersism first came around as an ideology in 1972 when Bernie Sanders ran for senator of Vermont under the Liberty Union Party, but lost the vote. He ran for Governor of Vermont as well in the same year but also lost. Bernie Sanders did later become senator of Vermont in 2006 and still has been the senator of Vermont to this day, but is now under the Vermont Progressive Party (but somewhat independent) rather than the Liberty Union. Though he is still part of the Senate Democrat Caucaus and runs for president as a Democrat. His runs for president in 2016 and 2020 put the term 'democratic socialism' into mainstream American political discourse, although his economic policies which more resemble that of Social Democracy, with him heavily citing the Nordic Model as an inspiration, makes his classification as a democratic socialist debatable. Nonetheless, democratic socialist organizations like the DSA saw a huge boost in membership after his runs for president, with many of these members like AOC later being elected to congress.
Personality
How to Draw
USA style
Drawing Democratic Socialism in this design takes a few steps:
- Draw a ball
- Fill it with red
- Draw a white hand outline coming from the left
- Draw a black hand outline coming from the right, that holds onto the white hand
- Draw a white rose with 2 white leaves
- Draw the eyes and you're done!
Color Name | HEX | RGB | |
---|---|---|---|
Red | #FF1D10 | 255, 29, 16 | |
White | #FFFFFF | 255, 255, 255 | |
Black | #211C1C | 33, 28, 28 |
Star style
Drawing Democratic Socialism in the star style also takes a few steps:
- Draw a ball
- Fill it with red
- Draw a white circle in the center
- Draw a smaller blue circle inside the white circle.
- Draw a white star over the circle, being careful to leave the points of the star outside of the white circle but the indentations well inside the blue one so this one is still visible
- Draw a smaller red star inside the white star
- Add the eyes and you're done!
Color Name | HEX | RGB | |
---|---|---|---|
Red | #D60F18 | 214, 15, 24 | |
White | #FFFFFF | 255, 255, 255 | |
Blue | #1E3F7A | 30, 63, 122 |
