State Socialism (StateSoc) is an economically left-wing, statist to authoritarian, culturally and diplomatically variable ideology who believes that the presence of centralised authority, state ownership of the means of production by a worker's party and a state-planned economy is a necessity in either transitioning from 
Capitalism to 
Socialism or upholding a truly socialist society. Much with 
Libertarian Socialism within the LibLeft quadrant, StateSoc can be seen in the center of the AuthLeft quadrant. While 
Marxism–Leninism is sometimes referred to as "state socialism", StateSoc's ideology is different in that he does not have to seek the establishment of communism and is not explicitly internationalist or progressive, being a much broader political stance that can even be seen as more of an umbrella term.
How to Draw
To draw StateSoc, simply draw the 8values Security symbol with communist colors.
- Draw a red (#EC1D26) ball with a black outline.
- Draw a yellow (#FFC90E) hammer.
- Add eyes and you're done.
