Best Answer

Democratic socialism is different from Communism in the political strategy and tactics used to achieve socialism.

Democratic socialists believe the movement for socialism should be democratic, co-operative and spontaneous, without any elitist party or "Vanguard" directing its actions. Alternatively, democratic socialists use the existing democratic government to promote socialism.

Communists, more appropriately known as Leninists or Marxist-Leninists, believe that a hierarchical organization called a "Vanguard party" is required to achieve socialism. The Vanguard party would control the movement, lead the revolution, and be composed by elite "professional revolutionaries". The justification for this authoritarian strategy is that a paramilitary organization is required to ensure the success of a socialist revolution.
