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.

In the US. A majority of self-described "Democratic Socialists" such as Bernie Sanders often advocate for a mixed economy and strong welfare programs, as opposed to a complete socialization of the economy. This form of Democratic Socialism overlaps with [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]] and is often regarded as not truly being a form of "Socialism" for this reason.
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 [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]], and is often regarded as not truly being a form of Democratic Socialsim for this reason.
