Democratic Socialism On Trial: Why It Won't Work In America

Democratic Socialism is a political philosophy that advocates achieving socialist goals within a democratic system as opposed to what it perceives as undemocratic socialist ideologies such as Marxist–Leninist-inspired socialism which is viewed as being non-democratic in practice. In the United States, the ideology has substantially grown and began to be considered as the main alternative to a "ruthless" capitalistic ideal in America. If Socialism as an alternative regime failed to sustain and resist capitalism within the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it is certain that democratic socialism will also disappoint human nature. The purpose of this book is to explain the reasons why Democratic Socialism is inapplicable in the United States as an effective and practical political regime.
