<P> Modern democratic socialism is a broad political movement that seeks to promote the ideals of socialism within the context of a democratic system . Some democratic socialists support social democracy as a temporary measure to reform the current system while others reject reformism in favour of more revolutionary methods . Modern social democracy emphasises a program of gradual legislative modification of capitalism in order to make it more equitable and humane, while the theoretical end goal of building a socialist society is either completely forgotten or redefined in a pro-capitalist way . The two movements are widely similar both in terminology and in ideology, although there are a few key differences . </P> <P> The major difference between social democracy and democratic socialism is the object of their politics: contemporary social democrats support a welfare state and unemployment insurance as a means to "humanise" capitalism, whereas democratic socialists seek to replace capitalism with a socialist economic system, arguing that any attempt to "humanise" capitalism through regulations and welfare policies would distort the market and create economic contradictions . </P> <P> Democratic socialism generally refers to any political movement that seeks to establish an economy based on economic democracy by and for the working class . Democratic socialism is difficult to define and groups of scholars have radically different definitions for the term . Some definitions simply refer to all forms of socialism that follow an electoral, reformist or evolutionary path to socialism rather than a revolutionary one . </P> <P> You can't talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums . You're really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then . You are messing with captains of industry . Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism . There must be a better distribution of wealth, and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism . </P>
