'''Democratic Socialism''' ('''DemSoc'''), not to be confused with [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]], is a [[File:Leftunity.png]] [[:Category:Left Unity|left-wing]] ideology inhabiting around the top center of the libertarian left quadrant. It is one of the more moderate socialists.  


== How to draw: ==
Democratic Socialism seeks to combine [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|Democracy]] and [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[socialism|Socialism]], viewing dominant socialist currents as undemocratic (and usually as not truly socialist, due to this). This is done typically by means of advocating for transition to socialism by [[File:Reform.png]] [[Reformism|Reformist]] and electoralist means, using [[File:Liberal Democracy.png]] [[Liberalism|Liberal democracy]] to acheive a socialist society, rather than using revolutionary, or otherwise violent or non-reformist means.
Despite the former, sometimes dubbed [[File:EvolutionarySoc.png]] "'''Evolutionary Democratic Socialism'''", or just "'''Evolutionary Socialism'''", being by far the most popular Democratic Socialist current, there also exists a form of Democratic Socialism that does support (violent) revolution. [[File:Revdemsoc.png]] '''Revolutionary Democratic Socialism''' does not view electoralism as a legitimate or practical way of achieving socialism, but rather supports a revolution to establish a socialist society with democratic governance. In this way, this form of Democratic Socialism is democratic not in its means, like Evolutionary Socialism, but only in its ends.


=== DSA style: ===
==History==
Drawing DSAball takes a few steps:
 
# Draw a ball
===[[File:Cball-Czechia.png]] Czechoslovakia [[File:Swhf.png]][[File:Dubcekism.png]]===
# Fill it with red (#ff1d10)
# Draw a white hand outline coming from the left
'''Socialism with a Human Face''' (SwHF) was a term coined by [[File:Liberalsoc.png]] liberal socialist Radovan Richta to describe the beliefs of Alexander Dubček and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia under his rule. It sought to bring about moderate democratic reforms, which put it at odds with the ideologies of the other Eastern Bloc countries. It sought to transition Czechoslovakia into a multiparty, democratic socialist state, and guarantee citizens the freedom of speech, press and movement. Socialism with a Human Face also had a distinct foreign policy, which was to seek good relations with both the Eastern Bloc, and western nations.
# Draw a black hand outline coming from the right, that holds onto the white hand
# Draw a white rose with 2 white leaves
Socialism with a Human Face believed that highly authoritative and centralized policies were no longer needed in Czechoslovakia, as the bourgeois class had already been defeated and done away with. It also sought to modernize Czechoslovakia, and have it join the rest of the world in terms of scientific and technological advancements. Moreover, SwHF believed that the proletariat must not only be liberated from the exploitation of the bourgeoisie, but also that socialism "must make more provisions for a fuller life of the personality than any bourgeois democracy."
In response to Dubček's reforms, the Soviet Union and supporting members of the [[File:NeoComBall.png]] Warsaw Pact invaded Czechoslovakia. This caused a rift in Communist movements around the world, and the legacy of the invasion led to the actualization of [[File:Eurocom.png]] [[Eurocommunism]].
 
===[[File:Cball-UK.png]] United Kingdom [[File:ClementAttlee.png]]===
The UK Labour Party was first formed on the 27th of February 1900 by the Labour Representation Committee (a pressure group that focused on workers' rights) and was initially [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialist]] and the abolition of private property was included in the party's platform but by the 1940s, in accordance with many other [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialist]] political parties in Europe, the abolishment of private property was dropped from their party platform and they swiftly won elections after this. [[File:ClementAttlee.png]] [[Fabian Socialism|Clement Atlee]] was elected prime minister in 1945, just three years later his party created the NHS and oversaw mass nationalizations and the formation of a comprehensive welfare state.
 
===[[File:Cball-US.png]] United States [[File:Debs.png]] [[File:Dsa.png]]===
Democratic Socialism first emerged in the US with Eugene Debs. Debs was a socialist from Indiana and ran for president a total of five times, he first came into national attention when he organised a strike against a big railroad company when that company cut employees pay it would become known as Debs' rebellion. Grover Cleveland intervened and sent in the army to break the strike killing 14 and sending Debs to prison. Debs would then go on to found the socialist party and denounce protective tariffs as causing wage cuts and being tools of the elite. Debs would then go to prison again under Woodrow Wilson because he was strongly opposed to US entry into WW1 and urged resistance to the draft, Wilson called him a traitor and charged him with sedition. President Harding commuted his sentence but he did not grant a pardon, Eugene Debs would then die in prison.
 
Eugene Debs' party, Socialist Party of America, would stay around long after him though they never came close to winning even a single state in nationwide or statewide elections however they did manage to entrench themselves in the city of Milwaukee and controlled the mayorship of the city for decades, until the party collapsed in the 1970s. They were often called Sewer Socialists because of their tendency to brag about Milwaukee's excellent sewer system which they had created.
 
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are a pressure group and political organisation dedicated to advancing socialism in America. They saw a massive boost in membership after senator Sander's failed run for the democratic nomination in 2016 and by 2018 several card carrying members of the organisation (such as Rashida Tlaib and AOC) were elected to congress and have since made headlines and gained fame.
 
===[[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russia [[File:Menshevik.png]] [[File:Esers.png]] [[File:Gorb.png]]===
At the beginning of the 20th century in [[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russia, two parties stood on the positions of democratic socialism: the [[File:Menshevik.png]] Mensheviks and the [[File:Esers.png]] [[Agrarian Socialism|Socialist-Revolutionaries]].
 
During the years of [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] Soviet power, democratic socialism was popular among the opposition.In his “Draft Constitution of the Union of Soviet Republics of Europe and Asia”, Academician A. D. Sakharov reflected the principles of a state with broad democratic rights and a mixed planned market economy, in which entrepreneurs are financially responsible for the social consequences of their activities.
 
In 1985, [[File:Gorb.png]] [[Liberal Socialism|Mikhail Gorbachev]] came to power and tried to reform the [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] Soviet Union.
 
Today, many provisions of democratic socialism have broad support in [[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russia. According to the All-Russian Poll of VCIOM in February 2006, 46.7% of the population spoke in favor of recreating a strong and socially oriented, but at the same time democratic, state. However, this ideology is almost not associated with the existing socialist or social democratic parties, which were supported by only 4% of the respondents.
 
===[[File:Cball-Chile.png]] Chile [[File:Allende.png]]===
As a result of the elections in [[File:Cball-Chile.png]] Chile in 1970, the [[File:Lpop.png]] [[Left-Wing Populism|Popular Unity]] party, led by [[File:Allende.png]] [[Marxism|Salvador Allende]], came to power. Economic reforms were carried out, as a result of which the US share in the Chilean economy decreased, and workers' self-government was also introduced.
 
However, in 1973 this government was overthrown by a military junta led by [[File:Pinochet.png]] [[Pinochetism|Augusto Pinochet]].
 
===[[File:Cball-India.png]] India [[File:Nehru.png]]===
[[File:Nehru.png]] [[Authoritarian Democracy|Jawaharlal Nehru]] is an [[File:Cball-India.png]] Indian statesman, political and public figure.
Under the mentorship of Mahatma Gandhi, he became Chairman of the Indian National Congress, and later, after the country gained independence on August 15, 1947, the first Prime Minister of India. He remained in this post until May 27, 1964, when he died of a heart attack. Nehru took a neutral position in foreign policy, implying India's independence from both the [[File:Necon.png]] Western and [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] Eastern blocs. In view of this, he, along with [[File:Nasser2.png]] [[Arab Socialism|Gamal Abdel Nasser]] and [[File:JosipBrozTito.png]] [[Titoism|Josip Broz Tito]], took part in the tripartite consultations that preceded the creation of the Non-Aligned Movement, which unites countries with economies that differ significantly from [[File:Markets.png]] [[Capitalism|capitalism]] and [[File:ML-Alt.png]] [[Marxism-Leninism|soviet central planning]]. However, he later admitted that the neutral position towards [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|communism]], which pursued an aggressive expansionist policy, was ineffective. [[File:Cball-China.png]] China's attack on [[File:Cball-India.png]] India forced it to move closer to the [[File:Necon.png]] NATO countries and abandon its neutrality.
 
In domestic politics, [[File:Nehru.png]] Nehru was an active supporter of [[File:Georgist.png]] [[Georgism|Georgism]], while recognizing private initiative as the main functional engine of harmonious economic and social development.
 
===[[File:Cball-China.png]] China [[File:ChenDuxiu.png]]===
 
[[File:Mao.png]] Mao criticised Democratic Socialism as early as in 1921. Throughout the history of CPC, DemSoc has been officially criticised. However, as the liberlefts in China never formed a real political party, there has always been some Democratic Socialism sympathisers (like Xie Tao) within the CPC, especially when [[File:Dengf.png]] [[Dengism|Dengism]] produced an ideological chaos in China.
 
'''[[File:ChenDuxiu.png]] [[Trotskyism|Chen Duxiu Thought]] [[File:ChenDuxiu.png]]'''
 
[[File:ChenDuxiu.png]] [[Trotskyism|Chen Duxiu Thought]] is an ideology based on the ideas of Chen Duxiu, the first general secretary and the main founder of the [[File:Mao.png]] [[Maoism|Chinese Communist Party]]. He believed that [[File:Cball-China.png]] China should not follow the ideas of [[File:Stalin.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism#Soviet_Union|Stalin]], but should follow the path of [[File:Trot.png]] [[Trotskyism]] and [[File:Demsocstar.png]] Democratic Socialism.
 
However, in 1927,  he left the post of General Secretary of the CCP, and founded his own faction in 1929. In 1932 he was arrested by the Nationalist government. Though there had been a time when Chen was considered the leader of Chinese Trotskists, it turned out that his ideas were much different from the Trots', which left him hardly any supporters when he died in 1942.
 
'''Xie Tao and the arguments around Democratic Socialism (2007-2008) '''
 
In 2007, Democratic Socialism writer Xie Tao (谢韬，1921-2010）'s article ''Democratic Socialism and the Future of Workers'' led to a strong debate in China. Xie claimed that "the [[File:Cball-Sweden.png]] Swedish Model of Democratic Socialism is orthodox Marxism", and later further claimed that "only Democratic Socialism can save China" and called for political reform.
 
At that time, this article caused a strong debate in China, and even influenced CPC's 17th National Congress. Supporters believe that the high welfare social system mentioned in the article is progressiveness and referential. Opponents believe that the author did not have a deep understanding of the thoughts of [[File:Ormarxf.png]] Marx, [[File:Orengelsf.png]] Engels and Bernstein. In January 2008, [[File:Hujintao.png]] Hu Jintao, Chinese presednt at that time, ended the debate by stating that "The Reform and Opening up Policy does not mean abolishing socialism".<ref>This may seem weird to many, as DemSoc is undoutedly classified to "socialism". But the fact is that The Party Central Committee has the power to define what socialism is. Presently, ideologies different from Marxism-Lennism, Maoism and Dengism are not regarded as "socialism" in China. Hu was actually meaning that the CPC would take no interest in Democratic Socialism and continue practicing Dengism. </ref>
 
===[[File:Cball-Sweden.png]] Sweden [[File:LeftPartyicon.png]]===
[[File:LeftPartyicon.png]] Jonas Sjöstedt is a Swedish politician who was Chairman of the [[File:LeftPartyicon.png]] Left Party from 2012 to 2020, and is a former metal worker. He has also been a member of the [[File:Cball-Sweden.png]] Swedish Parliament since 2010.
 
Sjöstedt became politically active in the trade union movement at Volvo's Umeå plant in the early 1990s. Despite the fact that he was elected MEP in 1995 from the Left Party in the united left - the [[File:Ecosoc.png]] [[Eco-Socialism|Northern Green Left]]. He held this position until his retirement in September 2006. In 2010 he was elected a member of the [[File:Cball-Sweden.png]] Swedish Parliament for Västerbotten. In the election, he came first on the ticket of the [[File:LeftPartyicon.png]] Left Party (which usually receives one representative in that district) and was elected by a personal majority in one part of all the elected electoral votes (for a sufficient sample of more than 8%).
 
In January 2020, Sjöstedt announced his intention to step down as leader of the Left Party at the May convention, stating that he wanted to spend more time with his family, who currently lives in [[File:Hochi.png]] Vietnam. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the convention was postponed and Sjöstedt was the group's headquarters until the convention took place on October 31, 2020, when Nushi Dadgostar was elected as his successor.
 
Based in New York from 2006 to 2010, Sjöstedt is also a member of the [[File:Ecosoc.png]] [[Eco-Socialism|US Socialist Party]]. He writes for [[File:Cball-Sweden.png]] Swedish publications, articles for radio and newspapers, as well as history and fiction. Married to a [[File:Cball-Sweden.png]] Swedish diplomat. Ann Mawe, who was a member of the [[File:Cball-Sweden.png]] Swedish delegation to the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] UN.

==Beliefs and Views==
 
Democratic socialism is a [[File:Leftunity.png]] left-wing [[File:Dem.png]] democratic and usually [[File:Left Reformism.png]] reformist ideology. Its fundamental principles are the same as those of [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]] - [[File:Liberty.png]] [[Social Democracy#Beliefs_and_Views|freedom]], [[File:Consti.png]] [[Social Democracy#Beliefs_and_Views|justice]], [[File:Equality.png]] [[Social Democracy#Beliefs_and_Views|equality]] and [[File:SyndieSam.png]] [[Social Democracy#Beliefs and Views|solidarity]].
 
===[[File:Partip.png]] Economics [[File:Marketsoc.png]]===
 
Economies of democratic socialism typically are formed of mass nationalizations of industries, while [[File:socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|socdems]] simply want the commanding heights or essential public services to be controlled by the state, Democratic Socialists want the entire economy to be controlled by the state which can incur large costs and ultimately caused one of the first big divides of the UK labour party between those who wanted to save money by only nationalizing essential services and those who wanted to establish a socialist state.
However in the modern day several Demsocs have come up with new versions of democratic socialism such as fiscal localism, where local communities are put first with tariffs and subsidizes given to keep full employment and avoid the deindustrialization that destroyed unions' political power across the west.
 
Another form of democratic socialism is with the implementation of [[File:Marketsoc.png]] [[Market Socialism]] where the state implements plans such as [[File:SwedenSocDem.png]] Employee funds which would've seen unions control every company in Sweden approximately 20 years after implementation.
 
==Personality==
Democratic socialism usually behaves like a softer version of [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism]] or like a harder version of [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]]. He also doesn't like being confused with [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|socdem]].

Democratic Socialism (DemSoc), not to be confused with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Social Democracy, is a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination left-wing ideology inhabiting around the top center of the libertarian left quadrant. It is one of the more moderate socialists.

Democratic Socialism seeks to combine Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Democracy and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Socialism, viewing dominant socialist currents as undemocratic (and usually as not truly socialist, due to this). This is done typically by means of advocating for transition to socialism by Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Reformist and electoralist means, using Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Liberal democracy to acheive a socialist society, rather than using revolutionary, or otherwise violent or non-reformist means. Despite the former, sometimes dubbed Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination "Evolutionary Democratic Socialism", or just "Evolutionary Socialism", being by far the most popular Democratic Socialist current, there also exists a form of Democratic Socialism that does support (violent) revolution. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Revolutionary Democratic Socialism does not view electoralism as a legitimate or practical way of achieving socialism, but rather supports a revolution to establish a socialist society with democratic governance. In this way, this form of Democratic Socialism is democratic not in its means, like Evolutionary Socialism, but only in its ends.

History

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Czechoslovakia Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationError creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Socialism with a Human Face (SwHF) was a term coined by Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination liberal socialist Radovan Richta to describe the beliefs of Alexander Dubček and the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia under his rule. It sought to bring about moderate democratic reforms, which put it at odds with the ideologies of the other Eastern Bloc countries. It sought to transition Czechoslovakia into a multiparty, democratic socialist state, and guarantee citizens the freedom of speech, press and movement. Socialism with a Human Face also had a distinct foreign policy, which was to seek good relations with both the Eastern Bloc, and western nations.

Socialism with a Human Face believed that highly authoritative and centralized policies were no longer needed in Czechoslovakia, as the bourgeois class had already been defeated and done away with. It also sought to modernize Czechoslovakia, and have it join the rest of the world in terms of scientific and technological advancements. Moreover, SwHF believed that the proletariat must not only be liberated from the exploitation of the bourgeoisie, but also that socialism "must make more provisions for a fuller life of the personality than any bourgeois democracy."

In response to Dubček's reforms, the Soviet Union and supporting members of the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Warsaw Pact invaded Czechoslovakia. This caused a rift in Communist movements around the world, and the legacy of the invasion led to the actualization of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Eurocommunism.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination United Kingdom Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

The UK Labour Party was first formed on the 27th of February 1900 by the Labour Representation Committee (a pressure group that focused on workers' rights) and was initially Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination socialist and the abolition of private property was included in the party's platform but by the 1940s, in accordance with many other Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination socialist political parties in Europe, the abolishment of private property was dropped from their party platform and they swiftly won elections after this. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Clement Atlee was elected prime minister in 1945, just three years later his party created the NHS and oversaw mass nationalizations and the formation of a comprehensive welfare state.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination United States Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Democratic Socialism first emerged in the US with Eugene Debs. Debs was a socialist from Indiana and ran for president a total of five times, he first came into national attention when he organised a strike against a big railroad company when that company cut employees pay it would become known as Debs' rebellion. Grover Cleveland intervened and sent in the army to break the strike killing 14 and sending Debs to prison. Debs would then go on to found the socialist party and denounce protective tariffs as causing wage cuts and being tools of the elite. Debs would then go to prison again under Woodrow Wilson because he was strongly opposed to US entry into WW1 and urged resistance to the draft, Wilson called him a traitor and charged him with sedition. President Harding commuted his sentence but he did not grant a pardon, Eugene Debs would then die in prison.

Eugene Debs' party, Socialist Party of America, would stay around long after him though they never came close to winning even a single state in nationwide or statewide elections however they did manage to entrench themselves in the city of Milwaukee and controlled the mayorship of the city for decades, until the party collapsed in the 1970s. They were often called Sewer Socialists because of their tendency to brag about Milwaukee's excellent sewer system which they had created.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are a pressure group and political organisation dedicated to advancing socialism in America. They saw a massive boost in membership after senator Sander's failed run for the democratic nomination in 2016 and by 2018 several card carrying members of the organisation (such as Rashida Tlaib and AOC) were elected to congress and have since made headlines and gained fame.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Russia Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

At the beginning of the 20th century in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Russia, two parties stood on the positions of democratic socialism: the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mensheviks and the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Socialist-Revolutionaries.

During the years of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Soviet power, democratic socialism was popular among the opposition.In his “Draft Constitution of the Union of Soviet Republics of Europe and Asia”, Academician A. D. Sakharov reflected the principles of a state with broad democratic rights and a mixed planned market economy, in which entrepreneurs are financially responsible for the social consequences of their activities.

In 1985, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mikhail Gorbachev came to power and tried to reform the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Soviet Union.

Today, many provisions of democratic socialism have broad support in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Russia. According to the All-Russian Poll of VCIOM in February 2006, 46.7% of the population spoke in favor of recreating a strong and socially oriented, but at the same time democratic, state. However, this ideology is almost not associated with the existing socialist or social democratic parties, which were supported by only 4% of the respondents.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Chile Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

As a result of the elections in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Chile in 1970, the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Popular Unity party, led by Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Salvador Allende, came to power. Economic reforms were carried out, as a result of which the US share in the Chilean economy decreased, and workers' self-government was also introduced.

However, in 1973 this government was overthrown by a military junta led by Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Augusto Pinochet.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination India Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Jawaharlal Nehru is an Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Indian statesman, political and public figure. Under the mentorship of Mahatma Gandhi, he became Chairman of the Indian National Congress, and later, after the country gained independence on August 15, 1947, the first Prime Minister of India. He remained in this post until May 27, 1964, when he died of a heart attack. Nehru took a neutral position in foreign policy, implying India's independence from both the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Western and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Eastern blocs. In view of this, he, along with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Gamal Abdel Nasser and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Josip Broz Tito, took part in the tripartite consultations that preceded the creation of the Non-Aligned Movement, which unites countries with economies that differ significantly from Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination capitalism and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination soviet central planning. However, he later admitted that the neutral position towards Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination communism, which pursued an aggressive expansionist policy, was ineffective. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination China's attack on Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination India forced it to move closer to the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination NATO countries and abandon its neutrality.

In domestic politics, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Nehru was an active supporter of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Georgism, while recognizing private initiative as the main functional engine of harmonious economic and social development.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination China Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Mao criticised Democratic Socialism as early as in 1921. Throughout the history of CPC, DemSoc has been officially criticised. However, as the liberlefts in China never formed a real political party, there has always been some Democratic Socialism sympathisers (like Xie Tao) within the CPC, especially when Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Dengism produced an ideological chaos in China.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Chen Duxiu Thought Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Chen Duxiu Thought is an ideology based on the ideas of Chen Duxiu, the first general secretary and the main founder of the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Chinese Communist Party. He believed that Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination China should not follow the ideas of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Stalin, but should follow the path of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Trotskyism and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Democratic Socialism.

However, in 1927, he left the post of General Secretary of the CCP, and founded his own faction in 1929. In 1932 he was arrested by the Nationalist government. Though there had been a time when Chen was considered the leader of Chinese Trotskists, it turned out that his ideas were much different from the Trots', which left him hardly any supporters when he died in 1942.

Xie Tao and the arguments around Democratic Socialism (2007-2008)

In 2007, Democratic Socialism writer Xie Tao (谢韬，1921-2010）'s article Democratic Socialism and the Future of Workers led to a strong debate in China. Xie claimed that "the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Swedish Model of Democratic Socialism is orthodox Marxism", and later further claimed that "only Democratic Socialism can save China" and called for political reform.

At that time, this article caused a strong debate in China, and even influenced CPC's 17th National Congress. Supporters believe that the high welfare social system mentioned in the article is progressiveness and referential. Opponents believe that the author did not have a deep understanding of the thoughts of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Marx, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Engels and Bernstein. In January 2008, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Hu Jintao, Chinese presednt at that time, ended the debate by stating that "The Reform and Opening up Policy does not mean abolishing socialism".[7]
