Socialism

"Only in a socialist system are the interests of the individual, the state and the collective at one."

File:HoChiMinh.png Hồ Chí Minh

Socialism is an ideology used to represent the broad range of ideologies that fall under the umbrella term of "Socialism".

In the classical sense, socialism describes worker-owned means of production combined with File:Community.png communitarianism, heavily supporting File:Marketsoc.png worker co-ops, self-management, economic planning, and/or File:WPD.png workplace democracy depending on the variant.

The modern definition of the word socialism, popularized by European Social Democrats, and the File:Dsa.png Democratic Socialists of America, is "any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods." Socialism in the modern age advocates workers' self-management, high taxation on the wealthy and/or nationalization over key parts of industry. Socialism is always economically left, and culturally neutral however has found itself becoming synonymous with progressivism mostly in the west at the most recent times. But you do get ideologies like File:Consocf.png Conservative Socialism and more extreme ones like File:Strasser.png Strasserism and File:Nazbol.png National Bolshevism, that combine Socialist economics, with conservative cultural preservation, due to their shared File:Pop.png Populist standpoint.

Etymology

(here go the names and aliases of the ideology in a bulleted list explaining their etymology)

File:Historian.png History

Socialism as a political movement is rooted in the French Revolution and Jacobinism, although notable File:ProtoSoc.png proto-socialist figures and movements existed before this. The first socialist thinkers were social critics and philosophers of the 19th century from Western Europe. These socialist thinkers followed what would later be dubbed, by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, File:Utsoc.png Utopian Socialism, due to their lack of materialist analysis and bourgeois nature. Among these thinkers were Charles Fourier, Henri de Saint-Simon, and Robert Owen. Despite all these thinkers being considered Utopian Socialists, their philosophies differed greatly in many ways, with Owen's ideology resembling Socialism in the modern sense more so than the other two.

Robert Owen would go on to develop several socialist communes and villages, being the first to attempt to actualize a socialist society, though these projects were often on a small scale and subject to much criticism.

In France, during the first half of the 19th century, socialist philosophers and politicians continued to popularize socialism. It is in France during this time that many socialists started to reject the File:Gradualism.png gradualism and utilization of utopian communes of the older Utopian Socialists. The term "socialism" was first used in a French Utopian Socialist newspaper. There also emerged a File:Christsoc.png Christian Socialist movement in France led by Philippe Buchez. Moreover, during this time, French socialist literature, which would prove to be highly consequential, was being published, most notably What Is Property? by File:Mutalist.png Pierre-Joseph Proudhon.

In the 19th century, Anarchism as a movement arose and was incorporated into the socialist movement. This is seen with thinkers such as the aforementioned Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, whose socialistic anarchism was market-oriented, as well as with more communistic anarchists, like the Russian Mikhail Bakunin, who sought a File:Acol.png collectivist anarchist society which would utilize labor vouchers, as well as the prominent anarchist communist Peter Kropotkin, who sought a completely communistic society, devoid of any form of currency whatsoever. Anarchism when combined with socialist principles would later come to be known as File:Socan2.png Social Anarchism.

File:Ormarxf.png Marxism, which arose from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, became the most influential socialist philosophy in history. Marx and Engels ideas on philosophy, political economy, sociology and history were influenced primarily by File:Hegel.png George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, File:Clib.png classical economists such as File:AdamSmith.png Adam Smith and File:Ricardocube.png David Ricardo, the earlier utopian socialists, and socialist ideals which arose in revolutionary France. Marx and Engels devised a materialist philosophy of history known as File:Historical Materialism.png historical materialism and called their form of socialism "scientific socialism" in contrast with utopian socialism. Marxism differed from Utopian Socialism in that it viewed history as a series of class struggles, and saw moving towards socialism within capitalism as futile, instead advocating for revolution.

Schools of Thought

File:RevSoc.png Revolutionary Socialism

Revolutionary Socialism is a political philosophy, doctrine, and tradition within socialism that stresses the idea that a socialist revolution is necessary to bring about structural changes in society. More specifically, it is the view that revolution is a necessary precondition for transitioning from a capitalist to a socialist mode of production. Revolution is not necessarily defined as a violent insurrection; it is defined as a seizure of political power by mass movements of the working class so that the state is directly controlled or abolished by the working class, as opposed to it being controlled by the capitalist class and its interests. Revolutionary socialism encompasses many movements, such as movements based on File:Ormarxf.png Orthodox Marxist theory like File:Deleon.png De Leonism, File:Impossible.png Impossibilism and File:Luxem.png Spartacism, aswell as movements based on File:Orthlen.png Leninism and the theory of File:Vanguardism.png vanguardist revolution such as File:Mao.png Maoism, Marxism–Leninism and File:Trot.png Trotskyism. Revolutionary socialism also includes other Marxist, Marxist-inspired and non-Marxist movements such as those found in File:Revdemsoc.png Democratic Socialism, File:RevSynd.png Revolutionary Syndicalism, anarchism and File:ClassSocDem.png classical social democracy.

Revolutionary socialism is contrasted with reformist socialism, especially the File:Bernst.png reformist wing of social democracy and other evolutionary approaches to socialism and is opposed to social movements that seek to File:Gradualism.png gradually ameliorate capitalism's economic and social problems through File:Reform.png political reform.

File:Ethsoc.png Ethical Socialism

Ethical Socialism is a political philosophy that appeals to socialism on ethical and moral grounds as opposed to consumeristic, economic, and egoistic grounds. It emphasizes the need for a morally conscious economy based upon the principles of altruism, cooperation, and social justice while opposing possessive individualism. Ethical socialism has some significant overlap with File:Christsoc.png Christian Socialism, File:Fabian.png Fabian Socialism, File:Guildsoc.png Guild Socialism, File:Liberalsoc.png Liberal Socialism, Social Democratic Reformism File:Left Reformism.png, and File:Utsoc.png Utopian Socialism. Under the influence of politicians and thinkers like File:ItalianResistance.png Carlo Rosselli in Italy, social democrats began disassociating themselves from orthodox Marxism altogether as represented by Marxism–Leninism, embracing an ethical File:Liberalsoc.png Liberal Socialism, File:Keynes.png Keynesian School, and appealing to morality rather than any consistent systematic, scientific or materialist worldview. In addition this form of socialism means that all classes benefit from socialism so they seek to represent and empower all classes fairly, often being made up of priests, business owners, trade unions, and professional workers.

File:Techcratsoc.png Techno-Socialism File:Techsoc.png

Techno-Socialism is a (mostly) culturally progressive ideology found near the bottom left of the authoritarian left quadrant. He believes socialism can only be achieved through automation, with robotics and emerging technology allowing everyone to live off the wealth produced by publicly owned machines.

Lumpenproletariat Socialism

Lumpenproletariat Socialism is socialism spearheaded by an oppressed, decayed, vice-ridden and dangerous underclass as described by Marx & Engels in the Communist Manifesto. The lumpenproletariat is often defined by an inability of class concisciousness or mass organisation required for a socialist revolution, which means that lumpenproletariat socialism will not make large scale transformations in society. Marx believed that this made them especially dangerous as they could cause File:RedTerror.png extreme and excessive revolutionary violence and oppression, but File:LeftSlavery.png without any of the emancipation that a revolution should accomplish. Lumpenproletariat socialism comes in many different forms due to the vagueness of Marx's definition of lumpenproletariat - it could include uneducated people, serfs/peasants, minority groups and immigrants, criminals and corrupt officals, reactionaries, mentally ill, dogmatically revolutionary zealots, chronically unemployed, etc. For the most part, it is the people that are the most victimised by society, by capitalism, by feudalism, by imperialism and colonialism, etc., aswell as people that are very egotistical and self-serving, dogmatic and militant, backward and regressive in their views, or just plainly cruel, evil and malicious.

File:Leftilleg.png Criminal Socialism File:Klep.png is the most literal interpretation of lumpenproletariat socialism as it is completely devoid of a class concsciousness, and is also the usual File:Soctard.png socialist boogeyman as it literally steals from the people who are productive members of society and gives to the people who are lazy, talentless, malicious, murderers, extorters, etc. which is what capitalist and/or rightist ideologies believe all socialism is. It most notably can be seen in the form of File:Klep.png corruption and File:CronyCapCom.png cronyism in File:AuthSoc.png authoritarian socialist regimes. It can also be seen in some criminal gangs as they might often make critiques of capitalist society that keeps people down and oppressed as an dispensable underclass. To a degree this could encompass prostitutes and cooperative/unionised brothels too although that is not inherently criminal despite the extremely little agency many prostitutes have over their job and future.

File:Agsoc.png Peasant Socialism is usually what is achieved in the rare case of a successful peasant revolt. It is often a primitive form of socialism with the sharing of all goods in a theocratic realm such as the File:Münster rebellion.png Münster Rebellion File:Munster2.png. It does not necessarily abolish kings, as the rebel Wat Tyler in the 1381 English revolt flew the banner of House Normandie as he marched on London town. However Marx and Engels did not believe that peasants were such a dangerous class, because they could become capable of class consciousness to organise into a proper socialist revolution, as File:MaoHair.png Mao and File:Lenin.png Lenin claimed to have accomplished in their respective countries. Peasant socialism can also be seen in File:Utopianism2.png Thomas More's Utopia which has a File:AntiEquality.png rigid and still hierarchical society where File:Communalist.png everything is shared in common and society is engineered to benefit the most rather than the few.

File:BlackSocialism.png Minority Socialism Minority Socialism is when oppressed minority groups, such as black people, organise and revolt against the state to escape oppression. However as this is not a class-based revolution it fails to create a truly socialist state, either by not drawing enough support to topple the state from their own communities or due to the alienation of the racial majority working class. An example of this is the File:ANC-icon.png African National Congress (ANC), which declared itself socialist and in many respects was revolutionary under the File:Apartheidism.png Apartheid system in place from 1948 to the 1990s. However, despite coming to power in 1994, the ANC did not implement socialism by any stretch of imagination and after now 30 years of ANC rule South Africa is still underdevelped and ridden with economic, social and political issues as racial politics do not lead to emancipation from capital. In addition, minority socialism can and often does lead to File:EthnicCleansing.png racial and ethnic violence and File:Chauv.png chauvinism. Particularly infamous cases of this are File:Mug.png Zimbabwe and File:PUNT-Nguema.png Equatorial Guinea.

File:LeftAbolition.png Sweatshop Socialism Sweatshop Socialism as a term refers to the millions of oppressed workers worldwide who attempt to revolt against capital. However, due to the unskilled nature of their job, lack of unions, no worker protections and entirely insufficient welfare systems, their employers (whether it be a private or state entity) can fire them and immedietely replace them with more dependent workers, thus these workers are trapped in a system of dependency, unable to fight back without losing their job. The lack of security and organisational powers prevents them from forming together as a united class as no one has the resources to use to organise or fight back, while the employer knows that there is always those that need jobs due to the lack of welfare, unions and workplace regulations, so he has no reason to ever negotiate with sweatshop workers in good faith. This means that sweatshop workers revolting for socialism is inherently a form of File:Utsoc.png Utopian Socialism because it will never be as a class revolt, but rather a revolt of a small group of the bravest and/or most oppressed workers.

File:Relsoc.png Clerical Socialism

Clerical Socialism is similar to File:Reactionary Socialism.png feudal socialism in several ways. As the church gradually lost its influence and power with the rise of capitalism, it weaponised religious texts, which often condemn greed, private property, selfishness and inequality. However, because of the shrunken influence of the church aswell as because of its historical oppression of the working class to save its own power, this ideology has never had much success. Marx lumps it into the File:Reactsoc.png Reactionary Socialism category in the Communist Manifesto.

File:SocCap.png Bourgeois Socialism File:BourgConSoc.png

Bourgeois Socialism or Conservative Socialism was a term used by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in various pieces, including in the Communist Manifesto. Conservative socialism was used as a rebuke by Marx for certain strains of socialism, but it has also been used by proponents of such a system. Bourgeois socialists are described as those that advocate for preserving the existing society using various means to only eliminate perceived evils of the system. Conservative socialism and File:SocRight.png right-wing socialism are also used as a descriptor, and in some cases as a pejorative, by File:Libcon.png free-market conservative and File:Libertarian Capitalism.png right-libertarian movements and politicians to describe more File:Regulationism.png economically interventionist strands of conservatism.

The Marxist view is such that the bourgeois socialist is the sustainer of the current state of bourgeois class relations. In the Principles of Communism Engels describes them as "so-called socialists" who only seek to remove the evils inherent in capitalist society while maintaining the existing society often relying on methods such as File:Welf.png welfare systems and grandiose claims of File:Left Reformism.png social reform. Opinions vary as to whether the bourgeois socialist is actively protecting or intentionally excusing the current order, but the common thread is that they are preserving it. Rather than File:InfRevolutionaryism.png abolishing class divisions, they wish to simply raise everyone up to be a member of the bourgeoisie to allow everyone the ability to endlessly accumulate capital without a working class. In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels use philanthropists, monks ("temperance fanatics") and reformers as examples of this type of socialism that they saw as opposed to their own aims. In expressing its views on the subject, Marx explicitly referenced File:Mutalist.png Pierre-Joseph Proudhon's The Philosophy of Poverty, stating the following about bourgeois socialism:

"The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom."

File:PettyBourgSoc.png Petty-Bourgeois Socialism

Petty-Bourgeois Socialism, in Marxist view, is an attempt by the petty bourgeoisie to prevent their complete destruction by either the revolutionary proletariat in their socialism or by the bourgeoisie in their capitalism as it is a class that is actively destroyed by both systems. This would theoretically imply that what the petty bourgeoisie wants is essentially a flash freeze on capitalism in order to stop further instability and concentration of wealth while also stopping further agitation of the working class to prevent revolution. The exploitative nature of guild masters towards tradesmen in the middle ages is forgotten, in addition to the exploitative merchants and burgesses, while the stability that their system brought is romanticized. In Marxist view, what makes someone petty bourgeois is when they are in such a position that both socialism and capitalism, as imagined by their followers, would destroy them, or when a working person betrays their class in order to side with the bourgeoisie because of their aspirations to become one of the bourgeoisie in the future. This is among the reasons why the petty bourgeoisie is often associated with File:Fash.png File:SocialistFash.png fascism File:Nazi.png File:Nazbol.png, as only via extreme state control could the bourgeoisie be prevented from further agitating the proletariat, meaning that petty-bourgeois socialism could be seen as a modern variant of File:Reactionary Socialism.png feudal socialism.
