Interest: : Democratic socialism

Democratic socialism is a political, economic and social ideal, which advocates socialism as a basis for the economy and democracy as a governing principle. This implies that the means of production are owned by the entire population and that political power would be in the hands of the people, sometimes indirectly through a democratic state, but often emphasising direct democracy and self-management, through workers' councils.
