Socialism is a term derived from the Latin word ‘socriare’. It means to combine or share. The earliest known socialist pioneers are Robert Owen, from Britain and Saint
Simon from France (intellectual property has spanned from as earliest as Plato’s
Republic [1516]). By the 1830’s these two referred to their ideologies as ‘socialism’ in their respective country’s and in the 1840’s the term became familiar throughout industrialized countries.
Socialism has traditionally been thought as an opposition to capitalism and provides a humane and socially worthwhile alternative. At the core of this ideology comes the prospect of all humans being united by their common humanity and highlights the extent of which people develop their individual personalities by their social interactions. The defining value of socialism is equality. Socialists believe that communal equivalence is vital in social solidity and unity. It promotes freedom, in a materialistic and personal sense.
Saint Simon of France
Core themes: no individual is an island Even though as an ideology socialism is divided into many subsectors at the core it should have the following attributes:
•Community
•Cooperation
•Equality
•Common ownership
Community:
At its heart socialism offers a unifying vision of humans as social beings, whom are capable of solving social and economic mishaps by harnessing powers of the community as opposed to individual effort.
It stresses the capacity of collective action and pursuing goals by working together, as opposed to striving for self-interest. To embody this you can refer to a the following metaphysical poem by John
Donne (1571-1631):
No man is an Island of itself;
Every man is a piece of a Continent, a part of the main;...
Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; and Therefore never send to know
