Democratic Socialism (view source)
Revision as of 04:17, November 12, 2016

'''Democratic Socialism''' is a political [[ideology]] that combines [[democracy]], [[civil liberties]], and [[socialism]]. It is an ideology that is in opposition to most mainstream American political discourse, which considers socialism synonymous with [[dictatorship]] and [[capitalism]] synonymous with [[democracy]]. However, this is not how democratic socialists view the world. Democratic socialists are not as ideologically rigid as [[Marxist]]s and other [[Communists]] and will usually allow private enterprise to exist but will strictly regulate it. Some Democratic Socialist countries in the First World include the [[Scandinavia]]n countries and [[France]]. Emerging socialist democracies in the Third World include [[Venezuela]] and [[Bolivia]] (although the former and sometimes the latter are considered dictatorships by many in the [[America]]n mainstream, it is not known whether this is because of [[human rights abuses]] or just an ideological disagreement).

Despite the fact that Democratic Socialism does not advocate outright dictatorship, its policies of expansive government involvement in peoples lives, massive regulations, and a strong association with secularism and social liberalism, make it a highly questionable ideology.
