'''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, heavily supporting worker coops, democratic self-management, and workplace democracy. But much of the conservative western world says that socialism is an authoritarian leftist ideology, in which a bureaucratic state controls the means of production, in a bureaucratic way. But the modern definition of the word socialism, popularised by European [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|Social Democrats]], and the [[File:Dsa.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|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' democratic self-management, high taxation on the wealthy, nationalisation over key parts of industry, and preventing climate change. Socialism is always economically left, and culturally neutral however has found itself becoming synonymous with progressivism. 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]] [[Populism|Populist]] standpoint. |

Socialism as a political movement is rooted in the French Revolution and [[File:Jack.png]] [[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, [[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 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 Socialism|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]] [[Mutualism|Pierre-Joseph Proudhon]]. |

In the 19th century, [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism]] as a movement arose |
In the 19th century, [[File:Awaj.png]] [[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]] [[Anarcho-Collectivism|collectivist anarchist]] society which would utilize labor vouchers, as well as the prominent [[File:Ancom.png]] [[Anarcho-Communism|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]] [[Classical Liberalism|Adam Smith]] and [[File:Ricardocube.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|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. |
||
==Variants== |
|||
===[[File:RevSoc.png]] Revolutionary Socialism=== |
|||
'''Revolutionary Socialism''' is a political philosophy, doctrine, and tradition within socialism that stresses the idea that a social 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 the capitalist class and its interests. It encompasses many movements, such as movements based on [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|orthodox Marxist]] theory such as [[File:Deleon.png]] [[De Leonism]], [[File:Impossible.png]] [[Impossibilism|impossibilism]] and [[File:Luxem.png]] [[Classical Social Democracy|Spartacism]], as well as movements based on [[File:Orthlen.png]] [[Leninism]] and the theory of [[File:Vanguardism.png]] [[Particracy|vanguardist-led]] revolution such as [[File:Mao.png]] [[Maoism]], [[File:ML.png]] [[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:Demsocstar.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|democratic socialism]], [[File:RevSynd.png]] [[Syndicalism|revolutionary syndicalism]], [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|anarchism]] and [[File:ClassSocDem.png]] [[Classical Social Democracy|classical social democracy]]. |
|||
Revolutionary socialism is contrasted with reformist socialism, especially the reformist wing of [[File:Socdem.png]] 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 [[File:Reform.png]] political reform. |
|||
===Belief Variations=== |
|||
====[[File:Ormarxf.png]] Marxist Socialism==== |
|||
''Main Article: [[Marxism]]'' |
|||
'''Marxist Socialism''' argues for socialism bringing about the demise of feudal-capitalist systems because it believes that the working class is systematically robbed off its labour. This means that they believe in the labour theory of value first created by [[File:AdamSmith.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|Adam Smith]] who said that all products or commodities were created by labour however in Das Kapital, Karl Marx adds that commodities have two sources for defining their value, the amount of socially necessary labour-time required to produce it and the amount of natural resources. This is because when the labour theory of value is accepted, workers are believed to be responsible for the entire economy however another key conception for Marxist Socialists is the idea of surplus value which means that all profit, i.e. capital that does not pay for the natural resources or labour used to create a commodity, so therefore capitalists steal from their workers by profiting from the production of commodities. |
|||
====[[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 Christian socialism, Fabianism, guild socialism, liberal socialism, social-democratic reformism, and utopian socialism. Under the influence of politicians like Carlo Rosselli in Italy, social democrats began disassociating themselves from orthodox Marxism altogether as represented by Marxism–Leninism, embracing an ethical liberal socialism, Keynesianism, 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]] {{PCBA|Techno-Socialism}} [[File:Techsoc.png]]==== |
|||
'''Techno-Socialism''' is an 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. |
|||
===Class Variations=== |
|||
====[[File:Lumpenproletariat.png]] Lumpenproletariat Socialism==== |
|||
'''Lumpenproletariat Socialism''' is socialism from below, an oppressed or dangerous underclass as described by Marx & Engels in the Communist manifesto. The lumpenproletariat is defined by an inability of class concisciousness or mass organisation required for a socialism revolution this means that lumpenproletariat socialism is a form of [[File:Utsoc.png]] [[Utopian Socialism]] and will not make large scale transformations in society. Marx believed that this made them especially dangerous as they could cause the extreme level of violence expected in a revolution but without any of the emancipation that a revolution should accomplish. It comes in several different forms due to the vagueness of Marx's definition of lumpenproletariat, it could include serfs/peasants, minority groups, criminals, prostitutes, immigrants, luddites and the chronically unemployed. Basically the people that are most victimised by capitalism or feudalism to the point where they lose total control of themselves. |
|||
'''[[File:KlepSyndie.png]] [[Kleptocracy|Criminal Socialism]]''' is the most literal interpretation of Lumpenproletariat socialism as it is completely devoid of a class concsciousness as well as being the socialist boogeyman of the capitalists as it literally steals from the productive to give to the lazy, talentless, murderers and extorters which is what capitalist ideologies believe all socialism is. It can be seen with some 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]] [[Agrarian Socialism|Peasant Socialism]]'''is 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 accomplish in their respective countries. This can also be seen in Thomas More's Utopia which has a rigid and still hierarchal society however everything is shared in common and society is engineered to benefit the most rather than the few. |
|||
[[File:BlackSocialism.png]] '''[[African Socialism|Minority Socialism]]''' |
|||
Minority Socialism is when oppressed minority groups such as Afro-Americans 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 extremely segregated as racial politics do not lead to emancipation from capital. |
|||
[[File:LeftAbolition.png]] '''[[Utopian Socialism|Sweatshop Socialism]]''' |
|||
Sweatshop Socialism as a term refers to the millions of oppressed workers worldwide who attempt socialism and 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 public 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 capitalist knows that there is always those that need jobs due to; the lack of welfare, unions and workplace regulations so has no reason to ever negotiate with sweatshop workers in good faith. This means that sweatshop workers revolting for socialism is inherently [[File:Utsoc.png]] [[Utopian Socialism]] because it will never be as a class revolt but rather of a small group of the brave and/or most oppressed workers. |
|||
====[[File:Relsoc.png]] Clerical Socialism==== |
|||
'''Clerical Socialism''' is similar to feudal socialism in many ways as the church gradually loses its influence and power with the rise of capitalism so it weaponised religious texts, which often condemn greed; private property, selfishness and inequality. However once again forgetting its own historic oppression of the working classes to save their own power, due to the shrunken influence of the church this ideology has never had much success so even Marx lumps them into the Feudal Socialism category in the Communist Manifesto. |
|||
====[[File:SocCap.png]] Bourgeois Socialism [[File:BourgConSoc.png]]==== |
|||
'''Bourgeois Socialism''' or '''[[Conservative Socialism]]''' was a term used by [[File:Ormarxf.png]] 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 if bourgeois socialist is actively protecting or intentionally excusing the current order, but the common thread is that they are in objective fact preserving it. Rather than [[File:Abolitionism.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 socialist 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: |
|||
<blockquote>The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom.</blockquote> |
|||
====[[File:SocialistCorporatism.png]] Petty-Bourgeoise Socialism==== |
|||
'''Petty-Bourgeoise Socialism''' is an attempt by the petite bourgeoise to prevent their complete destruction from the revolutionary proletariat in their socialism or by the bourgeoise in their capitalism as it is a class that would be destroyed by both systems. This means that the petite bourgeoise want what 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. This class also forgets the exploitative nature of guild masters to tradesmen in the middle ages in addition to the exploitative merchants and burgesses while romaticising the stability that their system brought. What makes someone petite bourgeoise is when they are in such a position that 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 bourgeoise because of their aspirations to become one of the bourgeoise in the future. It is for these reasons that the petite bourgeoise is associated with fascism as only with extreme state control could the bourgeoise be prevented from further agitating the proletariat, this means that petty-bourgeoise socialism could be seen as a modern variant of feudal socialism. |

"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.
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.
Variants
Revolutionary Socialism
Revolutionary Socialism is a political philosophy, doctrine, and tradition within socialism that stresses the idea that a social 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 the capitalist class and its interests. It encompasses many movements, such as movements based on orthodox Marxist theory such as
De Leonism,
impossibilism and
Spartacism, as well as movements based on
Leninism and the theory of
vanguardist-led 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.
Belief Variations
Marxist Socialism
Main Article: Marxism
Marxist Socialism argues for socialism bringing about the demise of feudal-capitalist systems because it believes that the working class is systematically robbed off its labour. This means that they believe in the labour theory of value first created by Adam Smith who said that all products or commodities were created by labour however in Das Kapital, Karl Marx adds that commodities have two sources for defining their value, the amount of socially necessary labour-time required to produce it and the amount of natural resources. This is because when the labour theory of value is accepted, workers are believed to be responsible for the entire economy however another key conception for Marxist Socialists is the idea of surplus value which means that all profit, i.e. capital that does not pay for the natural resources or labour used to create a commodity, so therefore capitalists steal from their workers by profiting from the production of commodities.
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, Fabianism, guild socialism, liberal socialism, social-democratic reformism, and utopian socialism. Under the influence of politicians like Carlo Rosselli in Italy, social democrats began disassociating themselves from orthodox Marxism altogether as represented by Marxism–Leninism, embracing an ethical liberal socialism, Keynesianism, 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 ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/a/a3/Techsoc.png)
Techno-Socialism is an 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.
Class Variations
Lumpenproletariat Socialism
Lumpenproletariat Socialism is socialism from below, an oppressed or dangerous underclass as described by Marx & Engels in the Communist manifesto. The lumpenproletariat is defined by an inability of class concisciousness or mass organisation required for a socialism revolution this means that lumpenproletariat socialism is a form of Utopian Socialism and will not make large scale transformations in society. Marx believed that this made them especially dangerous as they could cause the extreme level of violence expected in a revolution but without any of the emancipation that a revolution should accomplish. It comes in several different forms due to the vagueness of Marx's definition of lumpenproletariat, it could include serfs/peasants, minority groups, criminals, prostitutes, immigrants, luddites and the chronically unemployed. Basically the people that are most victimised by capitalism or feudalism to the point where they lose total control of themselves.
Criminal Socialism is the most literal interpretation of Lumpenproletariat socialism as it is completely devoid of a class concsciousness as well as being the socialist boogeyman of the capitalists as it literally steals from the productive to give to the lazy, talentless, murderers and extorters which is what capitalist ideologies believe all socialism is. It can be seen with some 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 Socialismis 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 accomplish in their respective countries. This can also be seen in Thomas More's Utopia which has a rigid and still hierarchal society however 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 Afro-Americans 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 extremely segregated as racial politics do not lead to emancipation from capital.
Sweatshop Socialism
Sweatshop Socialism as a term refers to the millions of oppressed workers worldwide who attempt socialism and 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 public 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 capitalist knows that there is always those that need jobs due to; the lack of welfare, unions and workplace regulations so has no reason to ever negotiate with sweatshop workers in good faith. This means that sweatshop workers revolting for socialism is inherently
Utopian Socialism because it will never be as a class revolt but rather of a small group of the brave and/or most oppressed workers.
Clerical Socialism
Clerical Socialism is similar to feudal socialism in many ways as the church gradually loses its influence and power with the rise of capitalism so it weaponised religious texts, which often condemn greed; private property, selfishness and inequality. However once again forgetting its own historic oppression of the working classes to save their own power, due to the shrunken influence of the church this ideology has never had much success so even Marx lumps them into the Feudal Socialism category in the Communist Manifesto.
Bourgeois Socialism ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/6/6b/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
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 if bourgeois socialist is actively protecting or intentionally excusing the current order, but the common thread is that they are in objective fact 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 socialist 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-Bourgeoise Socialism
Petty-Bourgeoise Socialism is an attempt by the petite bourgeoise to prevent their complete destruction from the revolutionary proletariat in their socialism or by the bourgeoise in their capitalism as it is a class that would be destroyed by both systems. This means that the petite bourgeoise want what 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. This class also forgets the exploitative nature of guild masters to tradesmen in the middle ages in addition to the exploitative merchants and burgesses while romaticising the stability that their system brought. What makes someone petite bourgeoise is when they are in such a position that 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 bourgeoise because of their aspirations to become one of the bourgeoise in the future. It is for these reasons that the petite bourgeoise is associated with fascism as only with extreme state control could the bourgeoise be prevented from further agitating the proletariat, this means that petty-bourgeoise socialism could be seen as a modern variant of feudal socialism.
Personality
![](http://static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/thumb/c/c5/CzerwonaFlaga.jpg/176px-CzerwonaFlaga.jpg)
Soc is usually portrayed as a stereotypical industrial-era unionized worker who really loves striking against his boss and usually will follow the personality traits of the various types of socialism portrayed.
