A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST IS not a marxist socialist or a communist. A Democratic socialist is STILL A CAPITALIST, just ONE WHO SEEKS TO restrain the self-destructive excesses of capitalism and CHANNEL GOVERNMENTS USE OF OUR TAX MONEY INTO CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE. Democratic Socialists BELIEVE that both the ECONOMY and SOCIETY should be RUN DEMOCRATICALLY to MEET HUMAN NEEDS, not simply to make profits for a greedy few.

The words contradict each other. Socialism uses a large controlling central government to control all central planning in regard to infrastructure. A democracy lets people have freedom to determine their lives.

There was another person that used a form of "democratic socialism", except he flipped the words. Read on:

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Russian: Влади́мир Ильи́ч Улья́нов; IPA: [vlɐˈdʲimʲɪr ɪˈlʲjitɕ ʊˈlʲjanəf]), alias Lenin (/ˈlɛnɪn/;[1] Russian: Ле́нин; IPA: [ˈlʲenʲɪn]) (22 April [O.S. 10 April] 1870 – 21 January 1924) was a Russian communist revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as head of government of the Russian Republic from 1917 to 1918, of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from 1918 to 1924, and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia and then the wider Soviet Union became a one-party communist state governed by the Russian Communist Party. Ideologically a Marxist, his political theories are known as Leninism.
