2. The ideology of socialism centers on a deep commitment to use the power and policies of the state to increase the material, social, and political equality of all its members.
3. Democratic socialism is a variation within socialist ideology. This variant also has egalitarianism as its primary goal, and it assumes that the changes can be affected by a government that comes to power and rules by democratic means.
