Twenty-first-century democratic socialism seeks to democratize the workplace and reorient the state against the power of the organized capitalist class, to serve the needs of the many rather than the desires of the few.
Democratic Socialists’ aims include curbing inequality, eliminating the oppression of underprivileged groups, eradicating poverty, and upholding universally accessible public services such as child care, education, elderly care, health care, and workers’ compensation.
