Template:CharacterSocialismball is an ideology ball used to represent the broad range of ideologies that fall under the umbrella of "Socialism". In the classical sense, socialism describes worker-owned means of production. But the much of the conservative western world says that socialism is an authoritarian leftist ideology, in which the state controls the means of production. But the modern detention of the word socialism, popularised by europian 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, nationalization over key parts of industry, and preventing climate change. Socialism is always economically left, and for the vast majority of the time culturally progressive. But you do get ideologies like Conservative Socialism, Paternalistic Socialism, and more extreme ones like Straserism and National Bolshevism, that combine Socialist economics, with conservative cultural preservation, due to their shared populist standpoint.
Soc was born in the very late 18th century to 
Jacobinism did the whole French Revolution fiasco, later in his childhood he Bonapartism kinda kicked him out of France and was left to spread around Europe and the World.
In the post-French revolution stage of his life, Soc found himself fathering a set of children with the most influential ones being 
Social Democracy (a.k.a. the centrist of the group), 
Marxism(who is considered the "true" successor of Soc and who himself fathered 
Marxism-Leninism) and Utopian Socialism (being something of a leader for the Left-wing balls who don't like Marxism).
Personality
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.
