Somebody who advocates for the installment of a socialist economy through democratic means (i.e. elections etc.)
The prime characteristics of such an economic system include:
- partial or complete governmental control over the means of production.
- a planned economy, in which the state determines how much of a certain product is made to combat wastefulness
Democratic socialists often also support:
- expanding social benefits, such as health care
- implementing or strengthening workers rights to participate in business decisions.
- more power to the trade unions
- setting a limit for wage gaps, e.g. top managers can't earn more than 20 times as much as the worker with the lowest wage
