Democratic socialism aiming to replace Capitalism

Democratic Socialism is a description used by various socialist movements and organizations to emphasize the democratic character of their political orientation. Democratic socialism is contrasted with political movements that resort to authoritarian means to achieve a transition to socialism, instead advocating for the immediate creation of decentralized economic democracy from the grassroots level, undertaken by and for the working class itself. Specifically, it is a term used to distinguish between socialists who favor a grassroots-level, spontaneous revolution or gradualism over Leninism – organized revolution instigated and directed by an overarching Vanguard party that operates on the basis of democratic centralism.

The term is sometimes used synonymously with "social democracy", but social democrats need not accept this label, and many self-identified democratic socialists oppose contemporary social democracy because social democracy retains the capitalist mode of production.[1]

Democratic Socialist Countries
Contrary to popular belief, there are very few if any Democratic Socialist countries, many people describe the Scandinavian nations as Democratic socialist nations, but in actuality they are mainly Welfare Capitalist states. Though Norway could be described as Social democratic

Venezuela is on the road to Democratic Socialism, being led by there leader Hugo Chavez.

Relationship with liberalism
