Socialism
(redirected from New socialist man)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Socialism
An economic system in which the state or the people generally own most or all of the means of production. That is, under socialism, industries, agriculture and corporations are nationalized. The government may also manage the nationalized companies, or they may delegate this to a private company. Most socialist systems, however, allow some degree of private enterprise. Because it favors a strong role for the state, socialism should not be confused with Marxism, which holds that the state will eventually disappear.

By championing the independence of the local church from the state, freedom of conscience, and the right of religious propagation, Baptists were at the same time propounding democratic principles which challenged both the Czarist autocracy and its alliance with the national Orthodox Church and the Communist regime which was determined to develop a new socialist man free from the trammels of all religion.
Unlike Marxists who saw the ethical New Socialist Man emerging from the environment of the new socialist economy, the American tradition, perhaps best exemplified by Emerson, has generally held that no genuine, lasting, meaningful social improvements can be realized without first reforming the individual human being.
