democratic socialist; somebody who is a left wing populist.
if you don't want to read all of this, here's your definition in simple terms; a childlike, imaginary world of how society should work.
a person, usually of upper middle class or upper class who subscribes to the idea of a classless society in which all are equal. in other words, they wish establish a welfare state. these people typically discuss a "revolution" with such cult-like behavior, that you could easily compare it to christians awaiting the rapture.
the majority of democratic socialists support Palestine, Ukraine, and the Scandinavian welfare model.
prominent (D)emocratic socialists include Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Hasan Piker, etc.
the use of the word "democratic" means the interests of the Democratic Party (USA), and has always meant that. socialism inherently involves interventionism (soft term for authoritarianism), so the use of democratic is to simply attract more supporters, usually liberals who keep lying to themselves that they're not authoritarian.
oh, and don't EVEN get me started on that dumbfuck Hasan.
tl;dr, socialists who want to pretend to be libertarian.

Get the democratic socialist mug.A believer in a political doctrine that emphasizes individual liberty and a lack of governmental regulation, intervention, and oversight both in matters of the economy whilst being an advocate of democratic politics.
The libertarian-democrat advocated for universal healthcare via voluntary means. They believed healthcare shouldn't be regulated by the government. They also suggested that government should fundraise to underwrite healthcare plans for those who couldn't afford them in the interim as prices of healthcare plans dropped (thanks to competition) & the diversity of options (thanks to the paucity of support from the government of the medical-industrial complex and thanks to competition) increased.
