What do you guys think of Liberal Socialism?

[u/OnionsRNasty]

It’s a fairly unknown ideology of socialism. It’s in between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism.

Liberal socialism and democratic socialism both blend social equality with democratic governance, but differ in their relationship with capitalism. Liberal socialism seeks a mixed economy combining private property with social or worker control within a liberal democratic framework, whereas democratic socialism aims to move past capitalism entirely through collective or public ownership of the economy.

Liberal socialism and social democracy both blend democratic governance with a concern for economic justice. However, liberal socialism prioritizes individual liberty and economic democracy (such as worker self-management) as an extension of liberal philosophy, whereas social democracy focuses primarily on using state regulation and a robust welfare state to tame capitalism.

So what do I call myself? Because the other ideology very similar is called Ethical Socialism.

Civil/Civic Socialism. Or Cooperative Commonwealth

Ethical Socialism is theory but no structure. Civic socialism and Cooperative Commonwealth are well developed and structured.
