Is Democratic Socialism Even Possible?
Democratic socialism is trending hard, not only thanks to Bernie Sanders, but especially after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, won a recent Democratic primary for a congressional seat in New York.

Can the death toll and abysmal economic track record of socialism be wiped clean by attaching the word \u201cdemocratic\u201d to it? \xa0Are democratic socialists subscribing more to a sentiment than an actual philosophy? Can democracy and socialism even co-exist in practice? The FEEcasters discuss these questions and more.
