 We have an economic and political crisis in this country. We need to develop a political movement prepared to take on and defeat a ruling class whose greed is destroying our nation. Tell me, is there some society you know that doesn't run on greed? You think Russia doesn't run on greed? You think China doesn't run on greed? The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests. Democratic socialism means that we must create an economy that works for all, not just the very wealthy. The reason why you say that is because it is so hard for people to get out of the notion that life is a zero-sum game. They think if one man benefits, another must lose. But in a free market, both people can benefit.
