Democratic socialism means democracy. It means making sure everybody can live with dignity in the richest country on Earth. And it means creating a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthiest people in America.

A government cannot represent “all of us” while capitalism continues. While there is capitalism, the needs of capitalists will always come first, because if they don’t, the profit-driven capitalist economy crashes.

It also means 50% + 1 can take anything they want from the remainder. The reason we have a Constitutional Republic, NOT a Democracy is because TYRANNY most often comes disguised as altruism! - Aaron Pettigrew, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Tennessee.

To be clear, democratic socialism means everyone is equally poor and miserable, except for the political class. Witness, Venezuela, Cuba, the former Soviet Union (which you praised), North Korea, etc.

What it means, you, , want to take from those who have and unconstitutionally give to those who don't have as much. If you want to be as rich, ACHIEVE IT ON YOUR OWN! That's the American dream.
