 | | “Market socialism” means a proletarian democratic regime in which the mass of the population implements socialist measures within an economy based on commodity production, while accumulation of capital is somehow kept in check. | | | Generally speaking, the conception of “market socialism” is counterposed to the conception of “socialism” exemplified by the Soviet Union, i.e., a conception of “socialism” as a giant state enterprise run by a top-down bureaucracy with those at the bottom taking orders from those above. | | | However, the market inevitably generates inequality and the accumulation of capital, and even more seriously, commodity production and the day-to-day activity entailed in buying and selling oneself on the market is the very ground on which bourgeois ideology grows. |

| | To be honest, I think market socialism of the types there described are actually less progressive than the present social democratic reforms which have been placed over the top of capitalism, particularly in respect to nations which still have a sharply graduated income tax. | | | My thoughts were that "bank-centric" market socialism would most suit the needs of the public. | | | But my ideas about socialism have always centered around direct worker-ownership and self-management regardless of the precise arrangements of the market. |

| Â | A Case Study in Social Capital Theory in El Salvador |
| | Social capital is proven to be an important factor in the development of a strong and flourishing democratic government. | | | Perhaps another important aspect of social capital which has been neglected is the aspect of funding, leadership involvement, and civic and professional associations. | | | The social security system provides benefits to those who have jobs and pay into it; benefits are concentrated in certain towns, but it still qualifies as a service provided. |

| | After the celebrated 1891 Congress when the leaders of the socalled "Youth" were expelled from the German social democratic party, for levelling the same charges as Lenin was to do, against "opportunists" and "kautskyists", they founded a separate party with its own paper, Der Sozialist, in Berlin. | | | By means of a perfectly ordered selection of quotations Lenin claims to show that "the founders of scientific socialism" were at all times declared enemies of democracy and the parliamentary morass and that the target of all their efforts was the disappearance of the state. | | | The development of that lively, creative socialism was disrupted by a new iron dogmatism which claimed full knowledge of social reality, when it was scarcely more than a hotchpotch of theological phraseology and fatalistic sophisms and turned out to be the tomb of all genuinely socialist thought. |

| | Democratic socialists advocating direct action may tend to similar positions with anarcho-syndicalism (with which democratic socialism shares the characteristics of being both anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian), although democratic socialists characteristically do not regard the state itself as an evil to be abolished. | | | The boundaries of what might be categorized as "democratic socialism" are thus necessarily fluid. | | | Many early varieties of socialism, particularly those stemming from the sans-culotte branch of French Revolutionary politics, took for granted democratic characteristics such as universal suffrage and equality before the law. |

| | The New Left legacy of democratic socialism may be clearly seen in the post-Marxist positions of a wide range of intellectuals (often identified with post-modernism or post-structuralism), from Chantal Mouffe in Europe to Cornell West in the United States. | | | However, democratic socialism as such only becomes a movement in its own right as a current rejecting both Stalinism (with its distinctive visions of the vanguard party and the dictatorship of the proletariat) and, preferably, the reformism characteristic of yellow socialists and social democrats. | | | Evolutionary democratic socialists and social democrats both typically advocate at least a welfare state, although some social democrats, being influenced by the Third Way, would be willing to consider other means of delivering a social safety net for the poorest in society. |

| | Radical critics of democratic socialism, such as Andre Gorz in the 1960s, contended that welfare state reforms only redistribute income and shore up capitalism, while "non-reformist reforms" which democratize control over capital (such as industry ownership, etc.) are central to the struggle for socialism. | | | Leninists argued that there was no possibility of a "democratic" road to socialism because the state inevitably served as an instrument of capitalist domination. | | | The gray drabness of state collectivism has little to do with the multi-colored pluralism of democratic socialism. |
