Best Answer

Any variety of socialism that is based on direct democracy or representative democracy for managing the economy or individual enterprises.

Alternatively, it is a political philosophy that advocates socialism by using democratic mechanisms and is opposed to Communism.

How can Senator Bernie Sanders be labeled as a democratic socialist when he has not advocated any industries in the US to be nationalized?

That's the difference between socialism and democratic socialism. Ever since Obama's election, the term "socialism" has been thrown around and used much too loosely, resulting in any kind of socialist policy to be labeled as socialism. Democratic socialism (even though Bernie is more of a social democrat) is a centrist idea with a small allowance of leftist policy, such as socialized health care and education. In short, democratic socialism is primarily capitalist with little snippets of socialist policy, and is entirely different from socialism.
