Arguably the defining characteristic of all of socialism is a [[big government]] monopoly over the means of production.  For this reason, the [[DSA]] has stated that social democracy is "good, but not good enough".<ref>[https://www.dsausa.org/social_democracy_is_good_but_not_good_enough Social Democracy Is Good.

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 inside 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 is anti-democratic and prone to dictatorship and corruption, the [[oxymoron]]ic phrase, "Democratic Socialism" was crafted as an internal reform movement that demanded voting rights exclusively among party members for the "collective leadership" of the "[[revolutionary vanguard|permanent revolution]]." In short, "Democratic Socialism" is Communism with a human face, or human name, at least.

Like all questions in Marxist dialectics, you never really get a straight answer to anything. Words and language keep evolving to fit the needs of the moment.
