'''Democratic Socialism''' ('''DemSoc'''), not to be confused with [[File: Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]], is a [[File: Leftunity.png]] [[:Category:Left Unity|left-wing]] ideology inhabiting around the top center of the libertarian left quadrant. It is one of the more moderate socialists.
'''Democratic Socialism''' ('''DemSoc'''), not to be confused with [[File: Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]], is a [[File: Leftunity.png]] [[:Category:Left Unity|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 [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|Democracy]] and [[File:Soc.png]] [[socialism|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 [[File:Reform.png]] [[Reformism|Reformist]] and electoralist means, using [[File:Liberal Democracy.png]] [[Liberalism|Liberal democracy]] to acheive a socialist society, rather than using revolutionary, or otherwise violent or non-reformist means.

Despite the former, sometimes dubbed [[File:EvolutionarySoc.png]] "'''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. [[File:Revdemsoc.png]] '''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.

The UK Labour Party was first formed on the 27th of February 1900 by the Labour Representation Committee (a pressure group that focused on workers' rights) and was initially [[File:Soc.png]] [[Socialism|socialist]] and the abolition of private property was included in the party's platform but by the 1940s, in accordance with many other [[File:Soc.png]] [[Socialism|socialist]] political parties in Europe, the abolishment of private property was dropped from their party platform and they swiftly won elections after this. [[File:ClementAttlee.png]] [[Fabian Socialism|Clement Atlee]] was elected prime minister in 1945, just three years later his party created the NHS and oversaw mass nationalizations and the formation of a comprehensive welfare state.
