"Labour is the voice that says to the many, at home and abroad: 'You don’t have to take what you’re given. You may be born poor but you don’t have to stay poor. You don’t have to live without power and without hope. You don't have to set limits on your talent and your ambition - or those of your children. You don’t have to be grateful to survive in a world made by others'."

Jeremy Corbyn

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 socialists want to create a Democratic and File:Soc.png Socialist society, usually through using Liberal democracy. They usually support Reformist means to establish socialism. It also advocates for public ownership of large businesses and either a limited market composed of worker cooperatives or decentralized planning, or a mix of the two.

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.

Beliefs

Evolutionary Democratic Socialism

They support a fully socialist system by gradually reforming capitalism from within. Evolutionary democratic socialists accuse supporters of revolution of being impractical and of supporting pie-in-the-sky approaches. This reformism dominated the democratic socialist scene for many years up to today.

Revolutionary Democratic Socialism

Revolutionary democratic socialists accuse those who favor evolution of supporting a kind of "socialism from above" that is achieved via legislation and which does not truly abolish the capitalist system.Revolutionary democratic socialists also believe that the political structures within existing capitalist societies serve as an impediment to full democracy, which they believe can only achieved by establishing a new political structure built from the bottom up and based on popular organizations that emerge during democratic and socialist struggles.
