Socialism is, according to Engels, the "direct product of the recognition of class antagonisms between capitalists and wage workers".[1] When we talk about it, we talk about proletarian socialism, which is the antithesis to capitalism; it is the stage of production in which labor is owned, controlled, and solely profited from by the proletariat, and is the bridge to communism.
