What distinguishes contemporary democratic socialism from center-left ideology regarding the economy?
Explanation
While both the center-left and democratic socialists advocate for social welfare, a key difference lies in their fundamental view of capitalism. The center-left seeks to regulate capitalism to reduce its negative effects, while democratic socialists question the system itself and advocate for greater public ownership of key industries to achieve social goals.
