Democratic Socialist

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
