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

Under Democratic Socialism, voting rights only accrue to party members, and party membership is only granted to [[elite]]s after years of rigorous ideological indocttination, training and testing.

Despite the fact that Democratic Socialism supposedly counters a single-man dictatorship, its policies of expansive government involvement in peoples lives, massive regulations, and a strong association with [[secularism]] and social liberalism, makes it indistinguishable from [[communism]] and [[Progressivism]]. They all advocate [[statism]] and singie-party control by a [[technocrat]]ic [[bureaucracy]].
