It's a shame that you're allowing yourself to be frightened of a word without having a clear understanding of it. Democratic Sociailsts have about as much in common with the leadership of the former U.S.S.R. as Republicans have in common with the leadership of the People's REPUBLIC of China. From Wikipedia:

"Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates achieving socialist goals within a democratic system as opposed to what it perceives as undemocratic socialist ideologies such as Marxist–Leninist-inspired socialism which is viewed as being non-democratic in practice. Democratic socialists oppose the Soviet economic model, rejecting the authoritarian form of governance and highly centralized command economy that took form in the Soviet Union in the early 20th century."

Please take the time to educate yourself further before engaging in more fear-mongering. Ignorance is more dangerous than any political philosophy will ever be.Thank you.
