Introduction to Sociology/Economy : Socialism


Summary

  Keyword to explain Socialism are ‘distribution’ and ‘equality’. According these keyword, socialists claim that policies collecting peoples’ money, resources, etc are right things, because government is likely to distribute equally to workers. Basic idea of Socialism is that statement is one of production. Also, in terms of socialism, socialists say that Capitalism is unfair. They say it has not equal chances in society.

  Typical socialism statement is Soviet Union. Soviet Union show socialism policies through price that be decided by supply and demand. These supply and demand are supervised by Soviet Union.

  Socialism develops as response to Capitalism. But Marxists say that Socialism has feature of Communism.

  I think this picture can explain socialism system well, and help to understand.


Learned items and my opinion

  Actually, I knew only definition of Socialism before. After read this article I learn more about Socialism. Especially I'm interested in appearance background of socialism and development process of modern socialism.

  Also, as I find some related picture, I find bad awareness about socialism by the public. I think these awareness emerges by the reason of statements that adopt socialism system. Heads of the statements don't keep original socialism system, and they commit corruption by using collect money feature of socialism.

Question

  Why people have bad awareness about socialism?
