'''Democratic Socialism''' is a political [[ideology]] that combines the [[democratic]] and [[civil liberties]] of party members, and [[socialist]] theory. It is a counterbalancing measure to [[dictatorship]] and [[personality cult]]s, and allows social and career promotion through party elections to positions of "collective leadership." Under Democratic socialism, one need not gain power by murdering rivals and cronyism; one must gain the trust and popularity of fellow party members by being a policy wonk.
