'''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. |
