Socialism is not a form of government. It is an economic system much like capitalism, mercantilism and feudalism.
People support the basic idea of socialism for different reasons.
For economic reasons, one might support socialism as a means to "rationalize" the economic system by eliminating the boom-and-bust cycle inherent to capitalism, to allow for full employment, efficient use of resources, and public ownership over large industries so that the profits can be distributed more evenly amongst the population.
Socialism may also be supported by those who criticize capitalism on cultural and moral grounds.
Philosophically, socialism is advocated for greater equality, individuality as defined as enabling a greater scope for self-actualization and the expansion of democratic-decision making into the economic aspects of society.
The rise of socialism and the acquisition of power by socialist parties or movements varies across different countries and historical contexts. In some cases, socialism has been achieved through democratic means, with socialist parties winning elections and forming governments. In other cases, socialism has been established through revolution or overthrow of existing power structures.
Socialism and society can be intertwined to create a 'for the people' state. The bulk of the power is left in the hands of the people instead of being completely controlled by a government or single governing body. There have been many forms of socialism in history, some with excellent results and some that have crippled countries for decades.

Modern socialism is often characterized by a blend of socialist policies within a democratic political framework. Countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are frequently cited as examples, as they incorporate strong social welfare systems, universal healthcare, and robust labor rights while maintaining capitalist economies. Other nations like Venezuela and Cuba have implemented more traditional forms of socialism, focusing on state ownership and control of major industries, though their economic and political outcomes have been controversial. Overall, the application of socialism varies significantly across countries, reflecting different historical and cultural contexts.
