Western Democratic Socialism demonstrates to the world what a feasible, arguably successful form of socialism looks like. Conversely, the economic, political, and social challenges of Eastern European Socialism eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union under Gorbachev, demonstrating a form of socialism that proved incapable of being maintained. Some would say that the USSR was not an impactful form of socialism because it did not last into the 21st century. However, you cannot judge the impact of socialism based on how long that it lasted; instead, judgment of the impact can be based on what was accomplished while this form of socialism existed. In the time that the Soviet Union existed, the USSR was able to implement socialism and major changes were made. These two poles of socialism have sparked a debate about the advantages of socialism, as well as its possible obsolescence or viability. Due to this discussion, they are the most impactful forms of…
Socialism is described as “a social and economic system characterized by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy, as well as a political theory and movement that aims at the establishment of such a system” (Wikipedia, 2014). Socialist economic systems are based on the precept of production for use or the production of goods to directly satisfy the demand and need of the consumer (Wikipedia, 2014). Accumulation of capital and production for profit are not valuable to the socialist movement. Socialist referred to themselves differently around the world, but in America the word “socialist” never stuck (Martin, 2006). Instead, they referred to themselves as liberals just as we refer to the Democrat Party today. They also used the euphuism “democracy” to replace “socialism” making it more acceptable to western society (Worldviews from the 1870s to the Modern Era [DOC document]). “In 1932, the Fabian socialists took over the Democrat Party, making it their political vehicle and, therefore, in the United States, it is the Democrat Party which is the vehicle for socialism” (Martin, 2006).…

Socialists argued for social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. Socialism also became associated with its opposition to capitalism. It aimed to improve the life of the working class and to make the distribution of wealth more equitable. Through the writings of the German philosopher Karl Marx socialism also came to be associated with class struggle.…
Solidarity: a constant commitment to the common good, based on the belief that "we are all really responsible for all." (a spirit of friendship- between individuals, group, and nations- is the basis for a just world.)…
Socialism is the means of all aspects of the economy and owned and is regulated by the community. The founder of this theory, Karl Marx, is usually associated with Communism. While Socialism is considered a lower stage of communism, it is actually the middle of the economic systems (Capitalism, Communism, and Socialism). Communism has more of an underlying political effect, whereas Socialism and Communism do not. By Socialism controlling the means of production, this diminishes the idea or private businesses.…
Whereas Socialism, according to the Marxists Theory, is something in-between Capitalism and Communism; A political and economic ideology where the government has almost complete control over trade, capital, land, and the production and distribution of goods. Thus encouraging the formation of a welfare state. In countries such as Cuba and other countries who employ Socialistic practices land is completely owned by the government, unlike America, where the majority of land is privately owned by the individuals of America. While some people will argue that capitalism is all about greed and has caused the inequality that is so frequently spoke of by politicians, protesters, and news and media outlets. Many think the solution to this inequality is to employ more Socialistic ideals, what some refer to as Marxism 2.0; however, as Socialism is European countries is proving, that is not the…

The reason that Utopian societies are bad is because everyone has to be equal for no one is better, and all autonomy is lost.…
Socialism can be defined as a system that treats all of its citizens as equals. A socialist system in the United States would greatly benefit the societal good.

According to 1984, the system does work only due to the writer’s view. A couple reasons this dystopia would not work is: uprising, loopholes, and curious citizens. The possibility of an uprising is due to the fact that the government is steadily taking and giving back nothing. When people feel like they are being taken advantage of it infuriates them, resulting in a need to alleviate their discomfort. In a dystopia of excess people would not need to alleviate discomfort, because they would feel like they had everything the world could offer. Loopholes are ways people can avoid laws or restrictions by outsmarting their regulators. When someone is told what they can and cannot do they usually revert to their teenage ways. This simply means that they are more apt to break rules and regulations just because someone said they were not supposed to. With this youthful demeanor it is easier to find loopholes. There would be no need for loopholes in a dystopia of excess, because the government gives to the people. Finally, curious citizens just means that people would know something was not right. With many regulations and restrictions there would be curiosity as to why. With a dystopia of excess no one would question because they would be distracted by all of the little toys that keep them…
