Socialism
(redirected from Sosialisme)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 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.

Histories gesproke beteken dit dat kapitalisme die laaste fase vorm in die ontwikkeling na sosialisme en uiteindelik kommunisme, met die proletariaat wat as die vaandeldraer van hierdie beter wereld gereken word Marx se model is eenduidig deterministies van aard, maar in die antisipasie van die einddoel, bepaald optimisties (Stumpf, 1994:407-410).
Hy het in vroeere romans wat hy beskou as die onvermydelike destruktiwiteit van utopiese sosialisme krities eksamineer, en nou gee hy aandag aan die eweneens destruktiewe krag van verregse konserwatisme, daargestel in die brutale een-en-dertig jaar diktatorskap van die Dominikaanse Republiek se Rafael Leonidas Trujillo.
