You mean in which part of year (time, Cold War? Or Before World War 2). By the way, there are 2 main types of socialism. One is the communist style. The other style is the welfare state where heavy taxes are the price of better working conditions. For the first type mentioned above, Former Russia and Eastern Europe (Soviet Union,compromising of 15 states), China, Cuba, North Korea and North Vietnam (which lated unified in Vietnam War with the defeat of the south, the non-socialist country) are some of the examples. The second style are mainly from the Western Europe, notably from Sweden,Finland and British. However, most of them should be getting away from these socialism as they pay heavy prices on their nations. (Heavy tax= Less workforce as no one wants to work- Get welfare from state is even enough to travel once a year. Furthermore, this avoids investors etc, this is ultimately result into chain of negative reactions.)
No: the USSR was state capitalist, not Socialist. Socialism is a classless stateless society based on production for use.
No.
Generally, countries with people practice socialism. However there are countries with people who do not practice socialism. A country without people will never practice socialism as there is no social aspect.
Capitalism
Asha Gupta has written: 'Socialism in theory and practice' -- subject(s): Politics and government, Socialism
Imperialism is the practice of taking control of weaker nations.
It doesn't. South Africa has a capitalist economy.
Socialism is not a compromise between capitalism and communism, it is a distinct economic system and mode of production. A "mixed economy" is often cited as being a compromise between socialism and capitalism, but in practice most mixed economies are interventionist capitalist economies.
You name it, and it's probably not socialist. Even those countries that call themselves socialist are mostly capitalist now.
Communism and Socialism are the same: a classless stateless society based on production for use).
Militarism
It's quite silly to compare socialism or communism with capitalism without comparing them to each other.
