Social Libertarianism

Social libertarianism is the belief in independence from government or state control that is advocated for by libertarians without the individualistic orientation associated with traditional libertarianism. Many social libertarians believe that small, non-hierarchical community councils are better than large-scale representative governance.

Social Credit

Your reputation. Your Social Credit results from anything that you or others have made public about you, primarily as a result of online profiles, including Facebook, Twitter, etc., but also including your offline reputation.

Photos of you posted online and/or word-of-mouth stories about you can have a positive or negative impact on your social credit.

If you have a seedy reputation, you don't have much social credit. If you're an upstanding citizen or are a leader in your peer group, you have a lot of social credit.

Democratic Socialist

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
A: Bernie Sanders is a democratic Socialist.

B: Democratic socialism? Pff. That's an oxymoron! Socialism leads to autocracy and gulags!

B: I'm sorry, but you seem to be stuck in the fifties with all of the cold war propaganda.
