What is Democratic Socialism?
Democratic socialism is an alternative to capitalism, a system in which working people are exploited for profit by the extremely wealthy. We must replace capitalism with a new system that gives ordinary people power in our workplaces and the economy. As the saying goes: If the solution to kings in our political life was democracy, then the solution to billionaires in our economic life is democratic socialism.
As democratic socialists, we believe in things like the power of labor unions and universal healthcare as a human right. We believe in a multiracial working class united by our shared humanity rather than divided by the fears stoked by politicians and their billionaire donors. Basically, we believe in the things which are necessary for ordinary people to live free and dignified lives.
