[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3189756, member: 56035"] lee j carter was recently elected and endorsed by democratic socialists of america. “Democratic socialism” refers to an array of left-wing economic worldviews that exist within the confines of a liberal democratic political system. Its adherents range from supporters of single-payer health care systems and more generous social welfare states common in other wealthy nations, to backers of more radical economic reforms like granting workers an ownership stake in the means of production. For Carter, democratic socialism is “really just working people having more power in the workplace,” he said. “When you have a workplace that’s run democratically by the people who work there, they’re not gonna vote to ship their own jobs to China, they’re not gonna downsize because of a new piece of technology.” [URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/lee-carter-delegate-democratic-socialist_us_5a074548e4b05673aa5997fd"]How A Literal Shock Inspired A Former Marine To Run For Office As A Democratic Socialist[/URL] [/QUOTE]
