It wouldn't be free. I'd be paid for by the tax payers. There are already programs in place to get free college degrees, including free doctorates. These programs are available to literally any young person willing to work for it, regardless of race or gender.

Democratic socialism is a political ideology advocating a democratic political system alongside a socialist economic system, involving a combination of political democracy with social ownership of the means of production. Although sometimes used synonymously with "socialism", the adjective "democratic" is often added to distinguish itself from the MarxistLeninist brand of socialism, which is widely viewed as being non-democratic.

Socialism is a social and economic system characterised by social ownership and democratic control of the means of production, as well as a political theory and movement that aims at the establishment of such a system. "Social ownership" may refer to public ownership, cooperative ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. Although there are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them, social ownership is the common element shared by its various forms

Basically the same exact thing just a different way of thinking about it. Bernie

Socialist economics is entirely what I disagree with.
