a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management, as well as the political theories and movements associated with them. Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen ownership of equity. The idea would work, if human nature was not taken into account. If taken into account (which is what it would be in real life) it doesnt work. Human greed will overcome, and the government will always become totalitarian and corrupt. Therefore, socialism, and its counterpart, communism does not work.

Get the socialite mug.A revisionist and oxymoronic socialist trend that seeks to replace various socialist principles, such as planned economy and illegalization of hate speech with what's essentially libertarian social democracy that does very little to alleviate the basic problems with capitalism and typically continues to place the means of production and land in the hands of private owners.
