The 1945 Labour Party Manifesto
The Labour Party is a Socialist Party, and proud of it. Its ultimate purpose at home is the establishment of the Socialist Commonwealth of Great Britain - free, democratic, efficient, progressive, public-spirited, its material resources organised in the service of the British people.

We have an example of a Democratic Socialist, not Social Democratic government. Clement Attlee's
Labour government 1945-51. It is simply incorrect to say that Democratic Socialism is about doing away with Capitalism altogether - that was never the Labour project. If post war UK Labour was not Democratic Socialist, the word has no meaning. There was mass nationalization of the means of production and services.

The difference between Social Democracy, and Democratic Socialism, is that the former manages industry and services by regulation, the latter by public ownership.

Capitalism and publicly owned entities can live side by side, to their mutual benefit. There is no imperative to completely abolish private enterprise. That's a straw man.
