Capitalism with a strong safety net sounds like you're avoiding the question. The question is how to replace capitalism, not how to improve it.

How are you defining democratic socialism? Usually when I ask people to define socialism they answer with capitalism with extra undefined steps whereby the set of employees of a business is legally forced to be equal to that business's set of owners. I'm not familiar with "democratic" as a modifier to the term, though.

The right answer is most likely a mixed system, so will most likely include some form of capitalism.

Wikipedia describes what I mean pretty well.
