Here’s the difference between a ‘socialist’ and a ‘democratic socialist’

• Socialist remains a dirty, misunderstood word
• In general, socialists believe the government should provide a range of basic services
  to the public, such as health care and education, for free or at a significant discount.
• Democratic socialism is related, but what politicians like Sanders are pushing for is not
  akin to the authoritarian-style socialism in places like Venezuela.
• place a great deal of emphasis on social justice
• push for an economy that’s largely controlled by workers.
