The article clarifies that Democratic socialism is distinct from communism, highlighting that Democratic Socialists advocate for a democratic state where power resides with ordinary citizens. Unlike communist regimes that operate under authoritarian rule and state control, Democratic socialism emphasizes the importance of elections and civil liberties such as the First Amendment. This framework aims to empower people and create a more inclusive democratic system, contrasting sharply with the tyrannical nature of communism where a select few dominate the political landscape.
