We welcome both advocates for Democratic Socialism as an ideology and as a general egalitarian philosophy.
What is the Democratic Socialism?
Democratic Socialism believes that the fight for democratic socialism is one and the same as the fight for radical democracy, which we understand as the freedom of all people to determine all aspects of their lives to the greatest extent possible. Our vision entails nothing less than the radical democratization of all areas of life, not least of which is the economy.
Under democratic socialism, this authoritarian system would be replaced with economic democracy. This simply means that democracy would be expanded beyond the election of political officials to include the democratic direction of all businesses by the workers who comprise them and by the communities in which they operate.
Economic democracy would be complemented in the political sphere by a new system that combines an overhauled form of representative democracy (our current system) with direct democracy, a system in which individuals participate directly in the making of political decisions that affect them.

If Trump wins again what can we do?
Srs discussion everyone. Right now it's as if Biden is going to lose the election all because of Israel and the fact that RFK Jr is running as a means to hand over the election to Trump. I feel it's inevitable and everything we're doing is for nothing. And Project 2025 is a plan to establish a dictatorship so what do we do if he wins again?

Democratic Socialism Explained
Hey everyone,
I've been a Democrat the moment I learned about politics and want to broaden my understanding of both the left and politics. I was wondering if someone could help explain what exactly is Democratic Socialism? . I want to be more civically engaged and involved with my community but want to know where I stand and what I really believe in. In doing some light research, I discovered Democratic Socialism.
I found that I always agreed with Bernie Sanders on issues more than conservatives or establishment democrats on pretty much everything. For news, I've been watching the PBS Newshour, David Pakman, Brian Tyler Cohen, and The Young Turks. I don't think they're socialists or democratic socialists either. Just either social democrats (like Pakman is I believe) or progressives (Like TYT and Cohen). I honestly dont know what that makes me. Do I lean towards social democracy? Am I progressive democrat? I'm not sure.
From my limited understanding, is democratic socialism just socialism through reformation instead of revolution?
Where could I learn more about it?
What readings or magazines or newsletters should I check out?
I imagine joining the DSA would be a good start?
I apologize for my extreme naivety but, I'm genuinely interested in learning and being more involved.
Any help is appreciated!

Is there anything stopping us from buying our groceries wholesale?
So I was wondering, is there anything stopping 1000 people from pooling their money together in a town and buying groceries wholesale. Assuming they had a way of storing all this food and distributing it to everyone who signed up for this. Is there anything to stop us from doing this?

How have you radicalized the Liberal in your life?
I, like I’m sure many of you, have parents. Those parents are Liberal, love the NYTimes, are focused on helping Biden win, and can acknowledge small-scale issues with the system but cannot see how our systems at large ARE the issue.
What articles, books, podcasts, interviews have you shown someone in your life that has sparked change? What media channels/platforms would you recommend to expose them to a different point of view? What has been your roadmap to influence them?
