Socialism

A term for a system of different ideologies without an unambiguous definition. Socialism believes in public ownership of the means of production and self-management of workers. In addition, socialism believes that human property and the distribution of resources should be subject to social supervision in order to reduce social disparities and thus try to achieve equality. Socialism does not advocate radical and centralized supervision as in communism but does believe in some kind of supervision. There are a large number of different school of thoughs called "socialists" by their supporters or others.

Subideologies
Reformist Socialism

some predict the future and advocate for change to right any wrongs. This almost catch-all ideology believes in a lighter hand to achieving socialism. Generally still aligned with the Proletarian Revolution, it wishes to reform Communism into a decentralized authority where the government is far more answerable to the people. Reformist Socialists stress that time corrupts all and that the governing body needs to be an incorruptible force. By having too closed off a Vanguard government for the Proletariat, it is inventing nepotism, apathy, and most damning of all. Corruption. Born from dissidence, perhaps one of the most controversial aspects of Reformist Socialism is the advocacy of complete detente with the non-Communist world.

The reasoning for this is simple: by having a government building for and by the people, a Vanguard for a market economy for all, through detente, trade, and openness to other countries and other people, they will see that a better life is possible, and thus the Revolution will spread. Reformist Socialists see that autarky has time and time again hurt countries or people instead of helping them, that division between the Proletariat of the world is counterproductive toward the well-being of the people. This Socialist ideology is Marxist by nature, but far enough from Bolshevik-Leninism that it would be a fool's errand to classify it under the same banner. Moreover this, like Bolshevik-Leninism, is almost a catch-all ideology where many of its adherents have different solutions to topics; and constantly exchange unorthodox ideas.
