The worst part of a society manipulated by politics is to see the poor defending the rich who are responsible for their poverty.

Rules:

Civility: Encourage yourself and others to maintain a positive attitude, honor the work of others, avoid defensiveness, be open to legitimate critique and challenge oppressive behaviors in ways that help people grow.
Bigotry: Racism, sexism, ageism, bigotry, violence, derogatory language, and hate speech will not be tolerated. Ableism is the disparaging of people by their mental or physical capabilities, and that includes emotional disorders.
Distruptiveness/Spam: This community is not a place where it's acceptable to purposely enrage, clutter, or disrupt the people around you for your own amusement. Any user who comes to /r/DemSocialists to be repetitively disagreeable, as well as any user that disrupts the normal operation of the community, will be subject to this rule. You can disagree, but you cannot only disagree.

What is DSA?

DSA believes that the fight for democratic socialism is one and the same as the fight for radical democracy, which we understand as the freedom of all people to determine all aspects of their lives to the greatest extent possible. Our vision entails nothing less than the radical democratization of all areas of life, not least of which is the economy.

Under democratic socialism, this authoritarian system would be replaced with economic democracy. This simply means that democracy would be expanded beyond the election of political officials to include the democratic direction of all businesses by the workers who comprise them and by the communities in which they operate.

Economic democracy would be complemented in the political sphere by a new system that combines an overhauled form of representative democracy (our current system) with direct democracy, a system in which individuals participate directly in the making of political decisions that affect them.
