Socialism refers to a broad array of doctrines or political movements that envisage a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to social control. As an economic system, socialism is usually associated with state or collective ownership of the means of production. This control may be either direct, exercised through popular collectives such as workers’ councils, or it may be indirect, exercised on behalf of the people by the state.

When this group gets large enough we should go take over an island and run it truly democratically… like the Lennon song and all. What say?
Great idea!!! XXX
socialism is better than communism and capitalism because ts in the middle. you have the freedom of capitalism and the greatness and fairness of communism!
Socialism sucks… ...it is just a camouflage for hidden Communists! And both parties are just a crime against the logical thinking humanity. Please think over that. ;)
u can talk u fuck in capitalist
dude socialism rocks
Hey, watch your language, sucker! Don’t call me a fucking capitalist you loser. And what the fuck are you talking about? I think you don’t even know America, because I can bet on the fact that you haven’t left your Eastern Block at no time in your life. People like you should be sent back in time and brought into the Soviet Union to make you feel what your great Socialism – Communism or however you want to call it – treats you. That would be funny to see you standing in a queue five hours, and only to get basic comestibles like bread or butter. Then you would feel what “Socialism” really is: the biggest imaginable human torture.
ahem…. im a solcialist please this is insulting
Yeah, OK, I don’t have any problems with the absolute idea of Socialism, but someone who calls himself “born 2 h8 america” doesn’t know what he is talking about. That’s my personal opinion.
its an insultin name but he myt have good reason
scialism totally rocks ...... socialism wipes its arse with capitallism
socialism in the way it is ment to be. is really scary. dont forget 1 of the greatest criminal all times runned a socialistic party. somewhere 70 years ago
but still some freedom socialism gives to people is somewhat good, if people are ready for it, people need to be good educated. the restrictions socialism gives to capitalism is a turn down. you cant make money without competition.
we all know what socialism did or do to countrys as romania and venezuela.
Exactly Boomstam.
I’m still confused about the difference between Socialism and Communism.
I’m also confused as to how someone could say that they hate a whole land mass of people, especially if their top “Best Stuff In The World” is “Love”.
Vano, the biggest difference between communism and socialism is that socialism is a broader term. Socialists advocate systems where means of production and distribution of wealth are subject to democratized social control. Communism more specifically advocates a system where all property is actually owned collectively, and shared by citizens soley according to their need. Socialism does not necessarily demand a classless society or the end of meritocratic social structures (“to each according to his contribution”). Generally, those who identify as Socialists see a goal in assuring certain basic needs to everyone before allowing superfluous accumulation of wealth and resources by specific individuals. Individual socialist philosophies vary by degree and by method.
I hope that made sense. I can’t help you with the other question, though. :)
A moral distinction should be made between generosity, and forced contribution.
I'm in favor of democratic socialism, where people choose for this form of government and still have a say to the way it is run. Although, the massive are not always reliable, trust me I'm American.
