Scenarios about 'democratic socialism'
Democratic socialism is a political philosophy advocating for a democratic political system alongside socialist economic principles, emphasizing public ownership of key industries while maintaining democratic institutions. It seeks to combine the democratic process with economic reforms that reduce inequality, expand social services, and increase worker participation in economic decision-making. Democratic socialist movements have influenced policy in Scandinavia, parts of Western Europe, and Latin America, offering an alternative to both unregulated capitalism and authoritarian socialism.
