Here is what Democratic Socialists believe:
We believe that the workers and consumers who are affected by economic institutions should own and control them. Social ownership could take many forms, such as worker-owned cooperatives or publicly owned enterprises managed by workers and consumer representatives.
Ahh, the workers co-op and "public businesses." Let's ignore all historical evidence on human behavior and put out unicorn hats on!
While the large concentrations of capital in industries such as energy and steel may necessitate some form of state ownership, many consumer-goods industries might be best run as cooperatives.
Ah, "state ownership" of industry. What a novel idea. Let's see, I'm sure that has never been tried before right? Right?
Most of all, socialists look to unions to make private business more accountable. ..
We don’t agree with the capitalist assumption that starvation or greed are the only reasons people work. People enjoy their work if it is meaningful and enhances their lives. They work out of a sense of responsibility to their community and society. Although a long-term goal of socialism is to eliminate all but the most enjoyable kinds of labor...
we believe that a combination of social, economic, and moral incentives will motivate people to work.
Hmm, sounds pretty "socialisty" and "utopiany" to me.
no country has fully instituted democratic socialism, the socialist parties and labor movements of other countries have won many victories for their people.
Name them.
Social democratic reform must now happen at the international level. Multinational corporations must be brought under democratic controls, and workers’ organizing efforts must reach across borders.
Ahh, so the world government workers utopia. I seem to recall the USSR using those same ideas of a worker's utopia. How did that work out for them?
Although capitalism will be with us for a long time, reforms we win now—raising the minimum wage, securing a national health plan, and demanding passage of right-to-strike legislation—can bring us closer to socialism... We are visible in the reproductive freedom movement, the fight for student aid, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender organizations, anti-racist groups, and the labor movement.
It is precisely our socialist vision that informs and inspires our day-to-day activism for social justice.
And there you have it! Sounds great to me!
