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.
