You can have capitalism and democratic socialism at the same time. That's what we have now: Social Security, Medicaid, Head Start, Public Schools, etc. You can even have it lean more heavily towards socialism. It's not an either or situation.

That is correct because democratic socialism is not socialism it is capitalism with social programs.

Socialism is when workers control the means of production and not capitalists.

The means of production are what we use to make things, including land.

Wow, the level of ignorance when it comes to socialism is too darn high.
