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]], [[File:Patcon.png]] [[Paternalistic Conservatism]], 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.
