which citizens freely make
political decisions by majority

powerful central governments
and reorganize government to
regional and local levels,
understanding that all levels of
government must be as
accessible and responsive to
the people as possible.

one of their prime functions is to
protect such basic human rights
as freedom of speech and
religion; the right to equal
protection under law; and the
opportunity to organize and
participate fully in the political,
economic, and cultural life of
society.

human personality and spiritual
equality of the individual.
 A belief in the autonomy of the
individual will and in the essential
rationality and goodness of man.

state and the individual is a
contractual one that social control
can best be secured by law rather
than command;
 Individual freedom in all spheres of
life-political, economic, social,
Intellectual and religious;

government is necessary to protect
individuals from being harmed by
others; but they also recognize
that government itself can pose a
threat to liberty. The individual takes
priority over society.

they have value. New ideas are
helpful because they can lead to
progress in the sciences, the
economy, and society.

system that, in turn, protects
their rights and freedoms.
 DEMOCRACY
 Democracy wishes the
governed class to become
the governing class;
 The basic idea is that
production decisions and
everything else are not
organized around the
desire to make a profit;
they’re organized by a
cooperative group to
produce goods that people
think they need. There’s
no public figure in the
Democracy who is
advocating for social
ownership of the means of
production.
 The elected government
has a responsibility to
ensure that the functioning
of a market economy
adequately provides for
basic needs for everybody
VS. SOCIALISM
 Socialism wishes the
disappearance of classes.
 Socialism is an economic system
that puts emphasis on collective
ownership of the production
resources and relies on
the state or the workers’ council to
be the mouthpiece of society on
how these resources will be
managed and controlled.
 All individuals should have access
to basic articles of consumption
and public goods to allow for self-
actualization. Large-scale
industries are collective efforts and
thus the returns from these
industries must benefit society as
a whole.
 The role of private property is to
be lessened as key industries are
nationalized.
 Social welfare rather than private
profit characterizes a socialist
society’s goals
 Can coexist with different political
systems. Most socialists advocate
participatory democracy, some
(Social Democrats) advocate
parliamentary democracy, and
Marxist-Leninists advocate
"Democratic centralism”.
