"Only in a socialist system are the interests of the individual, the state and the collective at one."
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
communitarianism, heavily supporting
worker co-ops, self-management, economic planning, and/or
workplace democracy depending on the variant.
The modern definition of the word socialism, popularized by European
Social Democrats, and the
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
Conservative Socialism and more extreme ones like
Strasserism and
National Bolshevism, that combine Socialist economics, with conservative cultural preservation, due to their shared
Populist standpoint.
Etymology
(here go the names and aliases of the ideology in a bulleted list explaining their etymology)
History
Socialism as a political movement is rooted in the French Revolution and
Jacobinism, although notable
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,
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
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
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
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
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
Social Anarchism.
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
George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
classical economists such as
Adam Smith and
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
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
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
Orthodox Marxist theory like
De Leonism,
Impossibilism and
Spartacism, aswell as movements based on
Leninism and the theory of
vanguardist revolution such as
Maoism,
Marxism–Leninism and
Trotskyism. Revolutionary socialism also includes other Marxist, Marxist-inspired and non-Marxist movements such as those found in
Democratic Socialism,
Revolutionary Syndicalism,
anarchism and
classical social democracy.
Revolutionary socialism is contrasted with reformist socialism, especially the
reformist wing of social democracy and other evolutionary approaches to socialism and is opposed to social movements that seek to
gradually ameliorate capitalism's economic and social problems through
political reform.
Marxist Socialism
Main article:
Marxism
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
Christian Socialism,
Fabian Socialism,
Guild Socialism,
Liberal Socialism,
Social Democratic Reformism
, and
Utopian Socialism. Under the influence of politicians and thinkers like
Carlo Rosselli in
Italy, social democrats began disassociating themselves from orthodox Marxism altogether as represented by
Marxism–Leninism, embracing an ethical
Liberal Socialism,
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.
Techno-Socialism 
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
extreme and excessive revolutionary violence and oppression, but
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.
Criminal Socialism
is the most literal interpretation of lumpenproletariat socialism as it is completely devoid of a class concsciousness, and is also the usual
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
corruption and
cronyism in
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.
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
Münster Rebellion
. 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
Mao and
Lenin claimed to have accomplished in their respective countries. Peasant socialism can also be seen in
Thomas More's Utopia which has a
rigid and still hierarchical society where
everything is shared in common and society is engineered to benefit the most rather than the few.
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
African National Congress (ANC), which declared itself socialist and in many respects was revolutionary under the
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
racial and ethnic violence and
chauvinism. Particularly infamous cases of this are
Zimbabwe and
Equatorial Guinea.
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
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.
Clerical Socialism
Clerical Socialism is similar to
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
Reactionary Socialism category in the Communist Manifesto.
Bourgeois Socialism 
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
right-wing socialism are also used as a descriptor, and in some cases as a pejorative, by
free-market conservative and
right-libertarian movements and politicians to describe more
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
welfare systems and grandiose claims of
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
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
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."
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
fascism
, 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
feudal socialism.
