→What is the difference between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism?
An oft asked question is ''What is the difference between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism?
An oft asked question is ''What is the difference between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism?
A Social Democrat, while being a far left advocate of big government, and is not entirely respectful of [[private property]] and [[human rights]], nonetheless can function in a multi-party system, is capable of negotiation, compromise, and forging coalitions with non-Marxists. Many non-Marxists view Social Democracy, rightly or wrongly, with suspicion as a stepping stone to Democratic Socialism.

Democratic Socialism by contrast is entirely intolerant singie-party totalitarianism. Because Marxist doctrine and socialism intrinsically are anti-democrat, prone to a dictatorship and corruption, the [[oxymoron]]ic phrase, 'Democratic Socialism's was born as an internal reform among party members demanding voting rights in a [[collective]] leadership of the "[[revolutionary vanguard|permanent revolution]]" after the 'dictatorship of the proletariat'. In short, "Democratic Socialism" in Communism with a human face, or human name, at least.
