It is a counterbalancing measure to [[dictstorship]] and [[personality cult]]s that allows democratic elections and "collective leadership" of party members.

It's an ideology that is in opposition to most mainstream American political discourse.  Democratic socialists are not as ideologically rigid as [[Marxist]]s and other [[Communists]] and have sometimes allowed private enterprise to exist under strict regulation. 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).
