Democratic Socialism

Democratic socialism is a political and economic ideology that advocates for a political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production. Unlike traditional socialism, which may emphasize state control, democratic socialism seeks to achieve socialist goals through democratic means, ensuring political freedoms and civil rights. It supports a mixed economy, where both public and private sectors coexist, and emphasizes social justice, economic equality, and strong welfare programs. The aim is to create a fairer society where everyone has access to essential services and economic opportunities, while still upholding democratic processes and individual rights.
