Questions and Answers from the

Democratic Socialists of America

Democratic socialists believe that both the economy

and society should be run democratically--to

meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To

achieve a more just society, many structures of our

government and economy must be radically

transformed through greater economic and social

democracy so that ordinary Americans can

participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.Democracy and socialism go hand in hand. All over

the world, wherever the idea of democracy has

taken root, the vision of socialism has taken root as

well--everywhere but in the United States.

Because of this, many false ideas about socialism

have developed in the US. With this pamphlet, wehope to answer some of your questions about

socialism.

QDoesn't socialism mean that the government will

own and run everything?

Democratic socialists do not want to create an all-powerful government bureaucracy. But we do not

want

big corporate bureaucracies to control our society

either. Rather, we believe that social and economic


91/151

decisions should be made by those whom they most

affect.

Today, corporate executives who answer only tothemselves and a few wealthy stockholders make

basic

economic decisions affecting millions of people.

Resources are used to make money for capitalists

rather than

to meet human needs. We believe that the workersand 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. Democratic socialists favor as much

decentralization as possible. 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 ascooperatives.


92/151

Democratic socialists have long rejected the belief

that the whole economy should be centrally planned.

While we believe that democratic planning can shapemajor social investments like mass transit, housing,

and

energy, market mechanisms are needed to determine

the demand for many consumer goods.

Q

Hasn't socialism been discredited by the collapse of

Communism in the USSR and Eastern Europe?

Socialists have been among the harshest critics of

authoritarian Communist states. Just because their

bureaucratic elites called them "socialist" did not

make it so; they also called their regimes

"democratic."Democratic socialists always opposed the ruling

party-states of those societies, just as we oppose the

ruling

classes of capitalist societies. We applaud the

democratic revolutions that have transformed the

formerCommunist bloc. However, the improvement of

people's lives requires real democracy without ethnic

rivalries and/or new forms of authoritarianism.

Democratic socialists will continue to play a key role


93/151

in that

struggle throughout the world.

Moreover, the fall of Communism should not blindus to injustices at home. We cannot allow all

radicalism to be dismissed as "Communist." That

suppression of dissent and diversity undermines

America's

ability to live up to its promise of equality of

opportunity, not to mention the freedoms of speechand

assembly.

Q

Private corporations seem to be a permanent

fixture in the US, so why work towards socialism?In the short term we can't eliminate private

corporations, but we can bring them under greater

democratic control. The government could use

regulations and tax incentives to encourage

companies to act

in the public interest and outlaw destructive activities

such as exporting jobs to low-wage countries and

polluting our environment. Public pressure can also

have a critical role to play in the struggle to hold


94/151


95/151

of

social, economic, and moral incentives will motivate

people to work.

Q

Why are there no models of democratic socialism?

Although no country has fully instituted democratic

socialism, the socialist parties and labor movements

of other countries have won many victories for their

people. We can learn from the comprehensive

welfarestate maintained by the Swedes, from Canada's

national health care system, France's nationwide

childcare

program, and Nicaragua's literacy programs. Lastly,

we can learn from efforts initiated right here in the

US,such as the community health centers created by the

government in the 1960s. They provided high quality

family care, with community involvement in

decision-making.

Q

But hasn't the European Social Democratic

experiment failed?

For over half a century, a number of nations in

Western Europe and Scandinavia have enjoyed both


96/151

tremendous prosperity and relative economic equality

thanks to the policies pursued by social democratic

parties. These nations used their relative wealth to

insure a high standard of living for their citizens--high

wages, health care and subsidized education. Most

importantly, social democratic parties supported

strong

labor movements that became central players in

economic decision-making. But with theglobalization of

capitalism, the old social democratic model becomes

ever harder to maintain. Stiff competition from low-

wage

labor markets in developing countries and the

constant fear that industry will move to avoid taxes

and strong

labor regulations has diminished (but not eliminated)

the ability of nations to launch ambitious economic

reform on their own. Social democratic reform must

now happen at the international level. Multinational

corporations must be brought under democratic

controls, and workers' organizing efforts must reachacross

borders.


97/151

Now, more than ever, socialism is an international

movement. As socialists have always known, the

welfare of working people in Finland or California

depends largely on standards in Italy or Indonesia. Asa

result, we must work towards reforms that can

withstand the power of multinationals and global

banks, and we

must fight for a world order that is not controlled by

bankers and bosses.2

What Is Democratic Socialism?

Q

Aren't you a party that's in competition with the

Democratic Party for votes and support?

No, we are not a separate party. Like our friends andallies in the feminist, labor, civil rights, religious,

and community organizing movements, many of us

have been active in the Democratic Party. We work

with

those movements to strengthen the party's left wing,

represented by the Congressional ProgressiveCaucus.

The process and structure of American elections

seriously hurts third party efforts. Winner-take-all


98/151

elections instead of proportional representation,

rigorous party qualification requirements that vary

from state

to state, a presidential instead of a parliamentarysystem, and the two-party monopoly on political

power have

doomed third party efforts. We hope that at some

point in the future, in coalition with our allies, an

alternative

national party will be viable. For now, we willcontinue to support progressives who have a real

chance at

winning elections, which usually means left-wing

Democrats.

Q

If I am going to devote time to politics, why

shouldn't I focus on something more immediate?

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. Many democratic socialists actively workin the single-issue organizations that advocate for

those

reforms. We are visible in the reproductive freedom


99/151


100/151

regime,

in reforming universities, and in bringing issues of

sexual orientation and gender discrimination to

publicattention. Though none of these struggles were

fought by young people alone, they all featured youth

as

leaders in multi-generational progressive coalitions.

Young people are needed in today's struggles as well:

foruniversal health care and stronger unions, against

welfare cuts and predatory multinational

corporations.

Schools, colleges and universities are important to

American political culture. They are the places where

ideas are formulated and policy discussed anddeveloped. Being an active part of that discussion is a

critical

job for young socialists. We have to work hard to

change people's misconceptions about socialism, to

broaden

political debate, and to overcome many students' lackof interest in engaging in political action. Off-

campus,

too, in our daily cultural lives, young people can be

turning the tide against racism, sexism and


101/151


102/151

shift power to working class people and away from

corporate capital. In 1993, national health insurance

was

attacked as "socialized medicine" and defeated.Liberals are routinely denounced as socialists in order

to

discredit reform. Until we face, and beat, the stigma

attached to the "S word," politics in America will

continue to be stifled and our options limited. We

also call ourselves socialists because we are proud ofthe

traditions upon which we are based, of the heritage of

the Socialist Party of Eugene Debs and Norman

Thomas, and of other struggles for change that have

made America more democratic and just. Finally, we

call

ourselves socialists to remind everyone that we have

a vision of a better world.
