Italian Democratic Socialists

Italian Democratic Socialists refer to a political movement in Italy that advocates for social justice, workers' rights, and democratic governance, blending socialist principles with a commitment to democracy. Emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they seek to promote a mixed economy, balancing free market aspects with social welfare policies. The Italian Democratic Socialist Party, founded in 1947, aimed to unify various leftist factions and participate in the democratic process, often collaborating with other parties to influence policy in favor of social equity and economic reform. This movement still plays a role in Italian politics today.
