You disagree with democratic socialists. They believe that an economy based on private profit — in other words, capitalism — is inherently exploitative. This is a key difference between democratic socialism and mainstream progressivism, including European-style social democracy.
Democratic socialists see social democracies “as an improvement over the present situation in the United States,” said Maria Svart, the national director of the D.S.A., but “it’s really still society and the economy functioning on terms that are set by the capitalist class. Our ultimate goal is for working people to run our society and run our workplaces and our economies.”They don’t want Soviet-style state control of the economy. While they believe a small number of industries would be best administered by the government, they oppose authoritarianism and support a mostly decentralized economy controlled by workers and consumers, such as through cooperatives.
