Revision as of 01:55, 14 January 2023
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.
Variations
Socialist tendencies are divided primarily on the basis of philosophy; utopian socialism vs scientific socialism. The former is used to refer to Marxism.
Proletarian socialism is a term used to describe socialist states that are a dictatorship of the proletariat, and is almost always an instance of applied scientific socialism. Exceptions to this include countries like Gaddafi's Libya, where the religious values of Islam have been applied to socialism.
Bourgeois socialism is a term used to describe bourgeois states bearing resemblance to socialism, with things like central planning of the national economy. In 2022, Haz Al-Din put forth the theory that we already live in socialism, stating that we are already in the stage of bourgeois socialism, and that we are beginning the transition to proletarian socialism.
National socialism is a fascist falsification of socialism. The term was coined by Adolf Hitler when he named the National Socialist German Workers Party in the 1920s.
