(Whoever edited this has a clear bias towards internationalism, and makes it completely out of character to represent the broad brush of socialism. Socialism has no real preference for "nationalism" or "internationalism", and would be fine with working with either, or. As can be seen with numerous socialist movements throughout history. Also, calling nationalism "fash-lite", is down right hilarious.)

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 coups, 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 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' 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 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 (WIP)

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.

Relationships

Workers

Mixed

  • Stalinism - I have many internal conflicts about you. On one hand, you defeated fascism and showed the world how powerful socialist countries can be. On the other hand, you are the reason why so many people in the west are scared of socialism and don't know what it really is!
  • Anarcho-Egoism - You raise some valid points against capitalism, but then you complain about some of us being "dogmatic".
  • Welfarism - People think I'm you because you care much for the poor, but you can only exist in capitalist societies. You also could go further.
  • National Bolshevism - My crazy Nazi descendant.
  • Reactionary Socialism - My more utopian brother, like our mother but for some reason feudalist.
  • Distributism - So close to perfection. Just drop the whole private property thing and we're good.
  • Longism - Same as above.
  • Liberal Socialism - You're a socialist but you're also a libtard so...
  • Social Liberalism - I mean, he is a liberal, but he did implement quite a bit of socialist-ish policy. Just please stop doing the whole capitalism thing, y'know?
  • Social Democracy - We have a complicated relationship. He thinks it's better to reform capitalism than to get rid of it, and nowadays a lot of people, especially in the US, think he's me even though we're not the same. But I can't blame them for that. After all, we both have similar values. You are better than the guy above though.
  • Nordic Model - Same as above.
  • Social Authoritarianism - Same as soclib and socdem, but more authoritative.
  • Globalism - I don't like the unregulated international trade thing, but I like when you help the third world and I also like Socialist Internationalism
  • Nationalism - Focus on nations might divide the working-class, but you see the negatives of global capitalism and Left-Wing Nationalism serves the nation's working-class.
  • Dengism - What is this? Deng, you are a dirty red capitalist. Also why is there such a high-income gap!? But it is still fun to use you to trigger crapitalists in the west.
  • Juche - Wait, how are we even related?
  • Classical Liberalism - I remember our good 'ol rivalries, good times.
  • Capitalist Communism - My weird child.
  • Yellow Socialism - Red socialism is better than yellow socialism, but at least you're better than capitalism.
  • Strasserism - Too anti-Semitic for my liking. But at least you're better than him.
  • Kemalism - We never forget Kadroist comrades.
  • Tridemism - We never forget Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Left KMT comrades. It's a shame that the modern-day KMT is full of capitalists.
  • Chiang Kai-shek Thought - WHY THE HELL DID YOU HAVE TO MURDER LEFT KUOMINTANG MEMBERS??? What do you mean, you're a Socialist?
  • Democracy - I am democratic. Socialism means "Democracy in the workplace" after all. Please ignore the Authoritarianism of some of my children .
  • Social Capitalism - Well I mean you are an abomination, but at least you are a nice one.
  • Social Libertarianism - You are on the thinnest ice imaginable. Like, I'm talking as thin as a bread ration.
  • Neosocialism - "For though they offer us concessions, change will not come from above!" --- Part of 'The Internationale'.
  • Caesarism - My Ancient Roman Grandfather. At least you care about the people, but did you really have to be imperialist?

Bourgeoisie

  • Capitalism - GIVE ME A GODDAMN RAISE YOU STUPID CAPPIE!
  • State Capitalism - GIVE ME A GODDAMN... wait, you again? I can't believe some people mistake you for me or him, do we really look that much alike?!

  • Libertarianism - Socialism is neither "when welfare" nor "when the government", you schizo! You also stole their name!
  • Authoritarian Capitalism - Proof that liberal “democracies” are nothing more than rational dictatorships controlled by the bourgeoisie.
  • Thatcherism - Ding dong the witch is dead!
  • Third Way - STOP CORRUPTING EVERY EUROPEAN LEFT WING PARTY YOU NEOLIBERAL SCUM!
