Taken from the Official page of "democratic socialism"
"Democratic socialists do not want to create an all-powerful government bureaucracy. But we do not want big corporate bureaucracies to control our society either. Rather, we believe that social and economic decisions should be made by those whom they most affect.
Today, corporate executives who answer only to themselves and a few wealthy stockholders make basic economic decisions affecting millions of people. Resources are used to make money for capitalists rather than to meet human needs. We believe that the workers and consumers who are affected by economic institutions should own and control them."
How can they simultaneously say they don't want an all-powerful government bureaucracy, yet at the same time believe the workers and consumers affected by economic institutions should "own and control them".
Are the owners of corporations just going to willingly give up their positions to a group of workers? Or are they going to be forced out by the government? In which case they're ****ing liars.
In any case what makes them deserving of business ownership? What risk did they incur to start the business? What did they invest?
"Democratic Socialism" is no different than regular socialism in practice it seems.
Even if it was, America isn't a democracy, it was never intended to be a democracy... It's a representative republic as long as we have the constitution.
