Detailed explanation-1: -Socialism and communism both place much value on creating a more equal society and removing class privilege. The biggest difference between them is that socialism is compatible with liberty and democracy, while communism depends on an authoritarian state to create an “equal society” that denies basic liberties.
Detailed explanation-2: -The simple answer is that democratic socialists believe in a democracy, while communist forms of government are not democracies. “Democratic socialists believe in elections, the First Amendment-[they] want ordinary people to have more power in a more democratic system, ‘’ Kazin says.
